Thank you! It was by Frederick Forsyth instead. I might have to re-read that this week. I'm generally not a fan of thrillers, but I remember this being very good genre fiction, and it's summer, and I deserve something light after 'Emperor of All Maladies'.

Wednesday we were low on olive oil spread, usually landlady gets the food but she forgot spread. I thought as I'm going in shop I could make her dinner, as I was off work.

Bought the ingredients, then suddenly remembered the reason I went in a spread. Dairy at back of shop, on the way I decided to look at the new gins they have.

Basically... Can you put gin on toast?

Where this becomes a serious problem, even with today's materials, is the "lower receiver" of an AR-15 style rifle. The upper receiver has the bolt, chamber, barrel and bolt carrier. Most of the heat and pressure are there. Generally confined in the chamber and gas transport parts. The lower receiver is where the weapons's characteristics are determined; semi-auto or full. While the stresses of firing full auto would likely break the plastic at some point, I suspect you could get a couple of magazines out before it did. The failure wouldn't even be dangerous, just a malfunction that didn't fire. So yeah, the goofy looking little one shot pistols will likely blow up in your face (especially if you try something over a .22) but making an AR-15's lower receiver would be very doable.

Thankfully, most of those plastic 3-D printers don't run at a super-high temp, so the plastics used have a low-melting temperature.

I think I read that the freedom guy only claimed the gun oughta shoot 1-2 rounds (one or two, yes) and fire at your own risk. However, printer technology continues to improve, including materials. Many printers well under $5K cost have super adjustable settings, so anything that simply requires a different heat setting to print can be done right now, to a point. Metal is right out though, it requires different technology than FDM - and SLA currently works on resins, which are even more fragile than filaments.That said, one of my favorite news sites (they have amazing 4D - that's 3D plus time/temp changes- and medical developments.... stopping now) has been tracking this issue. Here's their round up:https://all3dp.com/3d-print...

Putting THAT on my Christmas wish list.
