3D printable 75 round drum for the AR15

As 3D printing becomes more mainstream and accessible, it’s no wonder that more and more gun parts are being designed to be printed on a standard 3D printer. Specifically those gun parts that keep gun control activists up at night fearing for the future. Today’s new 3D printable part is a 75 round drum magazine designed in the style of the old Romanian AK magazines but compatible with the AR-15 rifle. Needless to say, this completely circumvents any magazine restrictions that certain governments have instituted and allows a private citizen to print their own extremely high capacity magazine from the comfort of their own home. Suck on THAT, Feinstein. Semi-presser after the jump . .

Looks cool. Anybody have a printer and going to give it a try?

I'm always seeing all of these cool 3d printed projects, but what I can't figure out is how people can afford the printers. They start out at around $2000. That's at least a couple of guns for me.

Word.
But I suppose after a few in-the-dark mags and receivers, maybe you end up breaking even. The cool factor may be worth it too. I bet we could buy a community printer if everyone pitched in.

A 3D printer has been added to my Christmas list.

Um, so how's the rep on regular injection molded plastic 75-round AR drum?

I should get a 3-D Printer.

When you are pricing the printer don't forget to price the consumables. Work had a $45,000 printer. I spent twice that on consumables in the first year and I was just running the printer part time. The printer are cheap compared to the consumables.

how many spools of abs/pla does it take to print one of those?
