    Default 3D printing dummy rounds?

    Has anyone who might have a 3D printer attempted to make some dummy rounds? I?m curious how they hold up

    With my cheap PLA printer, I'd be worried about ripping the rim off.

    Have not tried. PLA might break. But hey a single print will probably cost you 5c.

    I'll try printing a 45acp round tomorrow if I can find a file. Should be easy enough to get back out of the glock

    This is an application for 3d printing that I would be interested in.

    If there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to buy a gun, there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to vote.

    For legal reasons, that's a joke.

    It won?t be perfectly round because of how Printing on the x and y works together so undersize a bit.
    Also the rim will be in the first 4-5 layers and should be pretty strong i have printed c clamps and things and rarely get layer separation until extreme abuse if anything do a higher infill % than normal and do a hexagon infill pattern instead of square
    You sir, are a specialist in the art of discovering a welcoming outcome of a particular situation....not a mechanic.

    My feedback add 11-12 ish before the great servpocaylpse of 2012

    What about printing the bullet portion and using spent brass? I have some that are plastic bullets in brass with a plastic "primer"
