I can understand the mods having a falling out. So what if we splinter into multiple sites, but at least let folks know where to find some of us. What's the harm in sharing patriots.win unless he'd been super butthurt or compromised by the Feds.
3DHubs is more of a general, anyone with a 3d printer will print for you service. Shapeways is a more professional environment. Between the two you'll have access to any method of 3D printing imaginable.
Edit: Check your local library. They may have 3D printers for public use.
Its going to be pretty expensive just be prepared unless you are ordering higher quantities or can fill out a build plate. Will be cheaper to just get a cheaper printer and learn to print your own parts.
I'd argue that point. A decent printer is going to start at $450. A good printer is going to be $700 - $1500 or more. $700 will buy a lot of 3D prints as a service especially from 3D Hubs where most people are undervaluing their services.
If one wants a 3D printer just like any other tool in their workshop, then it's an investment that will pay off in the long run, but the occasional print here and there, meh, a 3D print service would do fine.
Also, local libraries may be a 3D print resource. Our local libraries will print parts for you at cost. Quality is not that great because they aren't experts, but it's possible to get a decent print from them.
Admittedly decent is subjective. To make a $200 printer what I consider decent you're going to throw another $200 at it and endless hours. And in the end achieving acceptable quality will be possible, but like dancing on the head of a pin.
Look at the Prusa Mk3s, excellent fdm printer that is more open source. If you want something more controlled look at Ultimaker. Check out MatterHackers for others, the majority of printers sold on that site are better quality.
I know these are stupid questions and I apologize, but I'm not current with any of the printing stuff.
What do you mean open source vs controlled? Is that related to what you are "printing"? Are the manufacturers able to lockdown certain files or some bullshit like that?
Some 3d printers are more closed product environments, meaning their software is proprietary, they make you use only their parts on the printer, they make you use only their plastic filament on the printer. Think more like Apple on these 3d printers. Others utilize open software, open parts, open to any plastic filament usage. Think more like Android on these.
Smith and Wesson M&P9 Shield EZ Performance Center - Low Profile Grip Safety for 9mm
Are you annoyed about the massive, uncomfortable, painful aluminum grip safety Smith and Wesson put on the M&P9 Shield EZ Performance Center?? Well look no further. This is a fully functional LOW PROFILE grip safety for the M&P9 Shield EZ Performance Center to replace the terrible aluminum part.
Hey, @invalid_data , if you design parts for others to print and use, consider making the patriots.win message written in the mesh for viewing without any geometric changes.
Its a common "copyright" method for STLs, and the last thing we want to do when getting a message out to the uninitiated is annoy them with something they have to go in and change if they don't want a url on the inside of their parts.
If you want it visible in all the common slicers like cura, slic3r, etc, make the extrusion/cut less than .1mm and it will be visible in the preview and reduced to a flat face when sliced horizontally.
Personally, I love it! Hopefully somebody doesn't print out one of these parts and use it in a crime. This site would be shut down so fast. They're just waiting for something like that to happen.
Yeah, I agree. But you know the left is just waiting to mark us as "terroists". All I meant was that I hope that doesn't happen. They don't use logic because they're all activists. Even the FBI now is a bunch of liberal activists.
Associating weapon parts with the URL seems like it would invite the wrong kind of hyperbolic fear coverage from the media or otherwise get the domain taken away.
But I read it first as “Patriots win!”, which actually sounds like an awesome slogan by itself and could be put on any product. Like the movement is even bigger than the website.
Hopefully, the address doesn't change again
What a piece of shit. The amount of damage done by that ripples, clueless twat.
Not clueless..... he knows. It’s intentional, change my mind.
Who? Who did this to us?

hurr look at my blog

Ender 3 goes for $170, the Elegoo Neptune 2 just came out for $160 both are great beginners printers that can be upgraded
You can get a decent printer for 200, easily. I did 5 years ago.

A Prusa original it will not be.
What is a non-cheap printer you'd recommend? Something $2k+
I need to make some business purchases soon and can swing this as an expense
hee hee I've got something coming down the pipe too for around that much, wonder if I should take the plunge and start learning 3d printing myself

https://www.stlfinder.com/ is good too
Do you have a link for some of the stuff you've designed? I'm always on the lookout for updated parts / upgrades etc.

Kinda preaching to the choir, but totally awesome!
You should include a www so people know it's a website
Do you have any wall hooks?
Not sure if you're referring to the "wallhooks" that turned into an auto sear https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/man-arrested-for-selling-hundreds-of-3d-printed-drop-in-auto-sear-coat-hooks/
or
if you want for your gun safe/wall or something
search those sites posted in this thread (ex: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3257707 )
Yeah, it was a joke in reference to the former.
I'm a complete F'ing idiot, what parts are these, what are they used for?
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4777768
Turn your Shield EZ magazine from an 8rd magazine into a 9rd magazine! This will also add extra space for you large hands people out there to grip.
Will require remove the magazine puller to function and allow the extra round.

Magguts.com makes a 10 round conversion kit, no printer required.
This is awesome!

Can you make a 10 round magazine for a CZ 527 PLEASE???
I like it, only thing is a lot of people probably won't get that the hole is a .
nice!
Bitchin' parts baby
Where is the address...?
Which printers are Pedes using?
Hey, I've seen that tactical "drop in" bottle cap opener before! Nice modification with the Patriots.win!
I think you need to use a www. for the message to get across. People don't recognize .win as a valid Top Level Domain yet.
Personally, I love it! Hopefully somebody doesn't print out one of these parts and use it in a crime. This site would be shut down so fast. They're just waiting for something like that to happen.
Don't be a shill, random parts in a gun, a car, your pockets don't commit crimes. People commit crimes, not inanimate objects.

Have you missed the pictures of AR-15's on this website today??? Not to mention, FUCK OPTICS.
Hey I like my fucking optics thank you very much.
I'm very fond of red dots.
you triticommunist
Classic RMR party member.
I'm just joking and sticking in big scary gun words wherever I can
Thank you.
Also, what printer do you recommend?
Got a Ender max, works great but takes a bit more room. Get quality nozzles and a sturdy table to set it on.
Look up what it takes to print at 220-260 temps if you want to print the stronger stuff, nylon and carbon fiber
Thank you!
