i made my own glock magazines and my own ak magazines out of plastic. currently working on my first ar-15 magazine.

not sure if it counts but its 3-d printing.

Using ABS or PLA? Any post-print treatment? Have you tried running them through your firearms to see how well they hold up? I’d be worried about delamination.

Well, I decided to build reflective boxes with an LED strip mounted in each, and I installed the boxes on the underside of my river table. Here’s the end result; in retrospect, I should have built the frame without the center brace, but I was concerned the epoxy would be the only thing holding the table together down the middle. Next table... ;)

So I wasn’t happy with the center brace interrupting the “river light,” and got underneath to look at it more closely. Turned out, it doesn’t even come in contact with the tabletop, and with the end braces and side braces, I was confident I didn’t need the center brace. So I cut out the middle, leaving the stubs at each end, and I rebuilt the light box using a single unit with three LED strips instead of two. The results are much more satisfying, and I can call this project done!
