Meet "The Liberator": The World’s First Fully 3D-Printed Firearm
Submitted by Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
3D-printing, like decentralized crypto currencies, have the potential to change the world in which we live in extraordinary ways. Ways that are almost inconceivable at this point given we are so early in the game. More than anything else, these technologies can empower the individual like never before, and I think that is generally a very good thing.
I first covered the impact of 3D-printing on the firearms industry in January in my post 3D-Printing Meets the 2nd Amendment, where I discussed Defense Distributed’s success in printing magazines for semi-automatic weapons. At the time, their next major goal was to print a fully functioning firearm. They have now done just that.
From Forbes:
Eight months ago, Cody Wilson set out to create the world’s first entirely 3D-printable handgun.
Now he has.
Early next week, Wilson, a 25-year University of Texas law student and founder of the non-profit group Defense Distributed, plans to release the 3D-printable CAD files for a gun he calls “the Liberator,” pictured in its initial form above. He’s agreed to let me document the process of the gun’s creation, so long as I don’t publish details of its mechanics or its testing until it’s been proven to work reliably and the file has been uploaded to Defense Distributed’s online collection of printable gun blueprints at Defcad.org.
All sixteen pieces of the Liberator prototype were printed in ABS plastic with a Dimension SST printer from 3D printing company Stratasys, with the exception of a single nail that’s used as a firing pin. The gun is designed to fire standard handgun rounds, using interchangeable barrels for different calibers of ammunition.
Technically, Defense Distributed’s gun has one other non-printed component: the group added a six ounce chunk of steel into the body to make it detectable by metal detectors in order to comply with the Undetectable Firearms Act. In March, the group also obtained a federal firearms license, making it a legal gun manufacturer.
Of course, Defcad’s users may not adhere to so many rules. Once the file is online, anyone will be able to download and print the gun in the privacy of their garage, legally or not, with no serial number, background check, or other regulatory hurdles. “You can print a lethal device,” Wilson told me last summer. “It’s kind of scary, but that’s what we’re aiming to show.”
Oh, and you can now purchase 3D-printers at Staples for $1,299.

Actually that is posible to be able to 3D printing you should have the skills to use either Autocad 3D modeling or Zbrush.
If you want to print 3D golden eagles, you should be equipped with some sculpting skills, on Zbrush software you can do sculpt a true to scale Golden eagles and by the way the accuracy of the print is much much higher than the minted coin it self. and am not talking about 3D printers which cost $2,000, there are printers which costs approximatly $50,000 that can model and 3D print, brass, silber, gold, tungstan..
So imagine if you print Tungstan and pretend it's gold .. this is the first thing that Evil Satan is going to do.
and btw, if you model your own gun with hte right 3D mechanics, then you can arm an entire town.
The 3D printing innovation along with other seemingly freedom enhanicng innovations such as BitCoin will actually have the perverse and paradoxical effect of increasing the tyranny in our lives. The Global Elite both in the halls of political power and financial power have as their 24/7 modus operandi the need for total control so as to effect and perfect their seperate and shaired goals of a global utopia.
Disrupting technologies and the mindset that is bred and nurtured by such innovations is totally the opposite of what the Global Elite want....namely...control of freedom in THEIR collective hands.....not ours.
So....you will see a rush to condemn such innovations, if poo-poo-ing them and/or ignoring them won't work...particularly if a "terrorist" event is blamed on such innovations.
This kind of thing....particularly dealing with firearms....will accelerate their plans to control not only this technology and innovation....but the idea of freedom around it. They will not....they CAN NOT...allow freedom to reign amongst what they consider their subjects.
The floodgates are about to open.....watch and see.
You are right. The first step will be registering ownership of the printers.
failed after five shots w .380.
wouldnt want to send .308 or even 7.62 down range in one of those.
But in a pinch, any firearm gives you a fighting chance.
you can use one of these printers to make a new vacuum hose for sheldon's pool when yours breaks.
and you can print a john holmes lifesize penis w a swastika engraved on the shaft to shove up your ass while you look at tranny porn
the "Really Final Solution" can't come soon enough.
is that when you finally get to meet a tranny dressed in full Stasi uniform and perform felatio on him/her?
The people that seem so hot and bothered about guns are not named alias Smith and Jones.
tinfoil theory of the day: this has nothing to do with guns, and everything to do with keeping 3D printers out of the hands of the general public.
3D printers can "print" a helluva lot more productive tools than a weapon, especially when placed in the hands of an army of DIYers experimenting with solutions to wean themselves off the centralized energy economy. and the schematics of those solutions can be shared for free across the planet with the click of a send button and thus can be easily replicated by anyone else with a 3D printer (available at staples for $1,200 or perhaps elsewhere on the web for ~12 BtC).
why teach a man to fish when you've already got him on the hook for a 20-30% profit?
banning these 3D printers is fully supported by the Tupperware lobby LOL /sarc
but i do see your point, if we can print our own plastic crap, who needs Chinese slave labor?
haha, tinfoiled by the Tupperware Tribe!
the irony of the continued use of petroleum-based plastics doesn't escape me. but there are some possible solutions to that:

tip E. canoe, and Tyler too ... +1 ... patent capture, bitchez!
You are sooooo right on Dave. Every time I have a vicious firefight on the Vegas strip I am damn happy to have 5 or 6 reliable guns on my person. I was just in a crazy gun battle the other day at the local supermarket and things got pretty exciting. Praise to former Premier Bush for my 30 capacity magazines!
BIL is a Vegas Lt on gang duty... his trunk could equip a Marine squad and he needs it.... was in a shootout at a local Starbicks the last time we were out i Vegas. Gangs are a HUGe problem there but shhhhhh - don't scare teh tourists.
If you are out at 3 am on the Vegas strip with the drunks and wild animals you would be advised to have a handgun for protection.
If you want to print one up, your choice. I prefer a Beretta 9mm
+ 9 mm
.40 on the waist, .357 on the ankle.
Is this when you are out at 3 am playing the nickel slots in your tranny DDR Stasi outfit? Just sayin....
You can spend $20k on a 3D printer that might make a reliable handgun, and by that something that might last one mag or so. If you buy any of the new cheap 3D printers you'd maybe get one shot off and hope it doesn't blow up in your face.
You can make a functional firearm from a piece of copper pipe with a capped end, a nail, and a mousetrap spring. Making something that can fire a bullet isn't hard.
Making someting that can fire thousands of rounds reliably, isn't easy.
the wright brothers didn't start by building a 737.
You're a brave soul using copper pipe....
With a mill and a lathe I can make something that can.
The cost of equipment is way less than $20K.
You know what else costs way less than $20K...guns.
Original "Liberators" were produced by the Guide Lamp Division of General Motors from 1942-1945. They were intended as cheap and easy to produce, substitute single shot pistols that could be dropped behind enemy lines to the French resistance, OSS and SOE forces that would enable them to kill an enemy soldier and capture his weapon. Works for me.
Exactly.
That was the plan: useless to regular enemy troops who might recover them, but invaluable to resistance fighters.
Any steak knife lying around my kitchen will do the same job just fine. I would have added a hell of lot cheaper, but I just checked and apparently Global cutlery doesn't benefit from either BLS hedonics or Abenomics- so buyers now have to pay the full Bernanke markup.
We need background checks for printers NOW!
C'mon Harry Reid, think of the children!!!!
Progress?
This just in: Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein will hold a press conference to press for banning all firearms, including even muskets and pistols used in the revolutionary war which fended away the British from reclaiming America. Grandchildren of slain British Redcoats & Lobsterbacks will stand by the 2 'statespeople' to drive home the points of how evil, racist, and hateful it is for Americans to own guns to defend themselves from so-called 'foreign or domestic' criminals.
Update: Sen. Bernie Sanders has contributed an amendment to the bill prohibiting all cutlery and forks. Americans will now only legally be able to use spoons. Sporks will be allowed for special occasions.

Can you print an ounce of gold with it?
Only if you start with an ounce of tungsten.
"Only if you start with an ounce of tungsten."
I don't care who you are....that's funny ! +1000
" Print Lawyers, Guns and Money.....to get me outta this ! "
You can't print an ounce of gold. But you can print in gold and silver. No BS. Just Google 3D printing services.
Hmm. Maybe a new way to get gold across the border. Print solid gold glasses frames, belt buckles, shoe lace eyelets, then paint them black or whatever.
Extremely interesting, wonder how all the nanny states(Europe etc.) will enforce their anti-gun laws now? When you can get a 3D printer for 1,000 and there is no way to limit the designs you can print ... very interesting
short of outlawing 3D printers next to non-enforceable, than again you do have to have real bullets
nanny states and real men free enterprise; two sides of the same dystopian coin pretending its utopian bitcoinia
The 3D printing stuff is interesting, but if you really want to get something done, a fairly inexpensive CNC mill or router will let you build something that's real and passes a a normal manufactured part. (AR lowers aren't very difficult to mill at home, FYI.)
My concern is they'll use this to make home manufacturing illegal. RIght now, you can build five guns a year (of any type, provided it's not NFA) without any legal issues.
The senator from New York already made his intention known. Remember, the whole point of this exercise is to let EVERYONE (not just American) have guns. Everyone means EVERYONE on Earth. When the government have to fear their subjects being armed, they will behave better.
I don't understand how it is figured any type of gun owned in the U.S. can help against a government with an unlimited supply of drones and technology the public don't even know of. As a deterence to out of control government, guns only seem a stop-gap. At the time of the 2nd amendment, an armed government could be matched by its armed citizens, nowadays that has become impossible.
The Population does not need to win an all out war against it's government, it just needs to demonstrate the willingness to do so, if the cows on the farm rebelled against the farmer he would not(even if he could) slaughter them all that would put him out of business
Socialists have long sought control over the means of production in order to make them available to each according to his need. Now that anyone can have the "means of production" to make anything they please, the socialists will now attempt to forbid them from producing things that socialists don't approve of. This shows that seizing the means of production was never the end goal of socialism, but seizing control of society itself.
you sound lik Marx word for word; except for ONe word; he uses "capitalists" and you use "socialists".
Now ain't that amazing?
Same dogma different target as bogeyman!
To each according to his needs for capitalists is the market system...
TO each acording to his needs is the statist monopoly system for the Marxist-socialists.
The end aim is controlling society by the looks of it...from both sides!
Except for the fact that marxism is complete nonsense.
you sure it ain't the other way round?
That new nation, the “City on the Hill,” was America. Here, the rights of man--individual freedom and the opportunity to own property and develop the means of production--exploded into the most successful society the world had ever seen.
The new financial power centers of the world--Beijing, Tokyo, Dubai, Hong Kong, Moscow—whereby the state owns the means of production offshored to them from the fruits of America’s free enterprise system -- are not the new Americas, the new centers of freedom. If America’s light to the world is dimmed, the world will have to take its chances again with a billion rooms of darkness.
Only an FDR supporter would believe that the world under the criminal greed of dictators, such as now rule America’s demise and was pointed out by Rose Wilder Lane, would not return to a world of wagon wheels and open fire cooking for the bulk of mankind.
America’s present New York-based power base has developed and fed these new power centers of the world, not with freedom and individual liberty, but with money, Fed-created fiat money, Present Chinese leaders should not be mistaken for Thomas Jefferson.
If America’s light continues to be dimmed by the greed lust of these founders of globalism, the miracle of individual freedom with its fruits will be torn out by the roots.
Fabian Socialism, i.e., the Keynesian economics that guides Fed policy, is soft communism.
It was no accident that the Fabians, Sidney and Beatrice Webb and their ilk, were attracted to eugenics. Or that John Maynard Keynes, director of the Eugenics Society from 1937 to 1944, believed eugenics essential because the working class was too "drunken and ignorant" to keep its numbers down.
the city on the hill was built on the blood of the true libertarians : the home bred indian tribes, the best and the simplest of the "liberty n ecology" meme inhabitants of the US continent; all rubbed out by statist americans, the blue coats of the US cavalry.
So...the man who made the USA great was the man who made it coast to coast after a bloody war fought to ostensibly support the rights of slaves to be free....
Now if you don't like FDR, JR what do you say about Lincoln and his blue coats, who made the US one nation before God?
The hard fact is that Jefferson's US construct became Lincoln's construct and led to statist cleansing of the red man; so much for myth of individual liberty and city on the hill!
Another statist, Lincoln like FDR, but before Das Kapital was written...and lets leave eugenics to the fascists.
Communism was born in its pristine form with Jesus Christ; the true socialist and evangelist for "all equal before God" meme; no exceptions, race or original creed.
Eugencis was/is not just an abstract concept. It was practiced in northern Europe. I recall being in Sweden where some Irish man was traveling. He had a pretty hot Swedish wife. He struck up a conversation and I was really young like high school age. After listening to him, I was pretty sure he was IRA. The was early earlry 1980s. He said Swedes all looked so good because post WW2 nutrition was much better. I think another possible reason was eugencis. I was not aware at the time that they had been practicing eugencis.
They sterlized retards, at this point about 40% of the USA population. If you were a kid in Sweden that was even slightly hyperactive, you might get on the "list." This shit really happened. The Rockfeller Foundation did it in Brazil.
Let me know when we can fax a bullet
The guns aren't the high demand, it's the ammo dummy....
Next step, 3D printed ammo shells.
Primers and powder are going to be the limiting factors to any home-made SHTF firearm.
Did someone say "DIY Chem Lab"?
What gun nuts need protection from? i don't get it.
What gun nuts need protection from? i don't get it.
Suerly you are not that stupid.All people, not just gun NUTS(your term,and what is your definition of a Gun Nut???), need them for self defense from MANY areas, and criminals.
Flood you are 100% right about one thing. If you can not see the clear and present dangers that would make a self reliant person want to own a firearm, then it is true you "don't get it". Around here, we call people like you "the victim". And we'd much rather be called "gun nuts" than victims. But you go right ahead and keep your fingers crossed. Maybe you and your family will be fortunate, and never need to hunt your own food or fend off an attack. I wish you luck!
wtf? we print totally incomprehensible amounts of money, we print incomprehensible amounts of junk mail, and now we print guns. what we need to know is how long will it take to print a NEW congress, NEW president, and NEW judicial system? the really important shit.

we could "print" new government every 2, 4, 6 yrs but half America is dependent and ignorant, others too apathetic, and maybe a million even bothered to heed history lest we repeat its mistakes.
'we could "print" new government every 2, 4, 6 yrs..'
We already do - one resin mixture prints both parties.
I would put more trust in my Daisy pellet rifle. I'm sure the materials will get better over time though.
ABS is the least resilient material a 3'd printer can use. PPSF (polyphenylsulfone), has incredible heat and chemical resistance properties and is actually used to mock up real working exhaust systems for vehicle manufacturers and bolted on to real engines for evaluation.
They haven't even scratched the surface of what this technology can do.
Live by the printer die by the printer,
the irony of an economy/civilization destroyed (again) by printing,
yet this what they will try to ban.
I would think the the medical device industry would really benfit by this technology.
More importantly, Can it print 3-D Japanese Love Dolls?
Still need 3D-printed ammo.
Pretty soon , all the evil Mooooooslims will be able to print out their own box cutters. Cool
The 3D printer is pretty cheap I hear.
But the ink cartridges cost more than the printer.

It is possible, in certain circumstances, to turn one element into another entirely.
I'm wondering aloud here how long before a printing process of some kind replaces all those gas centrifuges for making highly enriched (weapons grade) uranium and plutonium?
The first nuclear bomb required the construction of the world's largest building, full of ducts, full of gas centrifuges, and full of women twiddling the dials because they were better at keeping the machines fine-tuned than men were--although they didn't know the purpose of their tasks.
Might the 21st century find the same job being performed in a small warehouse someplace, anyplace?
centrifuges are used for uranium enrichment to make both LEU for (production) reactor fuel and also HEU for weapons.
plutonium separation is purely chemical (not physical) ... no centrifuges needed to make WGP.

For my part "fuck these plastic pieces of shit". I buy a classic Russian AK-47 any day of the week. Who the fuck wants a plastic piece of dog shit garbage?? Senseless. Doing something not for a good reason, but only because it CAN be done.
Print your own AK-47 and plate it in gold. Then you could walk around an say anything you want from "Scarface" and sound cool - or get a good laugh.
I know the 3-D gun think isn't a conspiracy theory. but I can see it being used to intensify the fight against guns and further limiting rights to possess firearms. Pretty soon, you 10-year old son could be charged as an adult and end up serving 2-4 years on possession charges for playing Cowboys and Native Americans in your backyard. Someone mistaking a toy gun will suffice when they change the law to say that 'A handgun shall be deemed to be viable if it fits either or both of the following categories: a) can fire bullets of 22 caliber or higher or b) anyone is made to feel uncomfortable by the presence of said 'weapon.'
It sounds like a joke, but hundreds of kids have served long-term, out-of-school suspensions nationwide for bringing in toy guns (including a girl who brought a pink gun that blew bubbles) or even being so evil as making the gun sign with their fingers and 'pulling the trigger.' In almost any school in any of our libtard areas (NY for me) using your pointer finger to point at someone while moving your thumb from vertical to parallel with your pointer finger is worthy of suspension.
It's getting really insane and nobody in a community speak up to help out a family when this happens. If a kid gets suspended for bringing a toy gun to school, the entire neighborhood should surround the school and prevent it from opening again until the child is given a break and the issue removed from his record. We all pay school taxes and the salaries or everyone in the school, yet we don't do anything when they suspend kids for saying 'bang, bang'. It's fucked up.
3D printer changes the game bitchezzz!
the 3d printer will inspire innovation enabling and lowering the barrier for people to come up with new ideas.as the tech improves it will grow into manufacturing
im going to program my 3D printer to destroy you.
automation is a huge threat to countries with large populations
So is gardening.

"Once the file is online, anyone will be able to download and print the gun in the privacy of their garage" - quite a misleading statement. 3D printing IS NOT like 2D printing almost everyone is familiar with.
It is a manifacturing process, with all real world problems coming from that ( only people, who in some degree have done manufactuing can related to such statement ). So one needs to have knowledge skills and determination in order to 3D-print (3DP) a good complex item. And people with such skills are, definetly, not very common amog the masses.
Some times in future, probablay this may be true, but the sofistication of the current 3D process, is not nealy engouhg for the massess to handle.
“It’s kind of scary, but that’s what we’re aiming to show.”

we have kids being tossed from grade school for drawing pictures of guns. When they come for our guns maybe we just have all the grade school boys sing them Barney songs or Kumbaya. My six year old grand son is a better shot with his CO2 pistol than most of NYC's finest. No Barney songs in that country farmhouse, onward.
There will be 1000 of these in Chicago by the end of the week.
Government thugs will already have to deal with hundreds of millions of guns pointed at them should the shit hit the proverbial fan. Why not a few more guns for the resistance?

The irony of 3D printers is, that like so MANY other technologies that HP originally developed, other tech companies had to bring it to the consumer because their MBA's and execs lacked the right combination of skills, vision, balls and commitment. It's become just a big bureaucracy, with middle-managers just hanging on and managing their careers, more than anything else.
I know the lead engineer who developed this tech at HP: Mark T, HP Corvallis, OR. Ex-HP for some time now. /I wonder why. /s
At the rate BenBama, Abe, Li and Draghi (the BALD bloc) are falling behind the world macro collapse, printed money printers will be next in demand.
Shoot - didn't see you up there Mayhem
I say BULLSHIT. You need a steel barrel and you cannot print SPRINGS. Must easier to steal a gun or make a ZIP gun. Have been making zip guns for 70 years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjzTwEIxlzs
Once 3-D printers get cheaper, people will be limited only by their imagination. Ok, so 3-D printers can make guns, but can 3-D printers make replacement parts for my stepford wife, she's getting cranky.
The real business geniuses who deserve a standing ovation here, are the marketing executives of the 3D printer companies. You've identified the perfect pathway to your financial success: The Gun & Ammo crowd. Congrats!
Of course anyone in hi-tech knows that the Early Adopters of hi-tech toys is always the Vice industry: Porn & Sex, Alcohol, Drugs. It's been known for decades that film-cameras and digital cameras were first adopted by Porn purveryors, before mass-market users came along. Ditto for PC's and Internet use: Porn sites, baby!
Likewise, there are people who specialize in market-profiling the libertarian/Libertarian crowd. Realize it or not, like it or not... Marketing Segmentation rules, baby.
Digitally printed porn stars?
the japanese are working on the female sex robot. Once adequate (sex, get beer, do laundry, shut up) women will be seen by the tens of thousands sleeping under bridges and behind buildings because they will no longer be needed. 3D printing a japanese sex robot is the future.
how does a plastic gun not blow up when fired ????

IS THERE A SCOPE MOUNT FOR IT !!??
A single shot plastic short barrel zip gun for a tiny calibur bullet is not intimidating, just interesting.
your mind is small and your vision is poor. Its the concept that anyone can "print" a gun that is significant.
this is bullshit i can make a 12g slam bang shotgun out of a bolt , nut , washer and 2 pieces of seemless tubing and a welder for under $10 in about 15 minutes . this gizmo is just to prove a point that's already been proven 100 years + ago .
check it out http://youtu.be/n1wV3lmbSv4
Can't you do this with a milling machine and metal?
Yes but that requires skill. Printers print.
That's great and all but...
Does anyone realizes that a so called handgun made of plastic will have its internal parts melting after firing several projectiles from it ? There s a reason why rifles and handguns have always been made of metal...
what type of idiot are you really?
These $1300 printers only use the cheapest type of fake plastic powder,
The first shot from this gun would permanently destroy the barrel, so its single shot at best.
The printers that make 'hard' plastic ( think kevlar ), are over $100K, ... better yet are printers that use titanium-plastic alloys', think $1M or more,...
A better way to shoot a 22acp would be to put into a small pipe and bang the end with a rock, and point the pipe away from your face, ..
IMHO this entire debate was 'manufactured' to create the NEW debate to 'BAN AMMO'. which is what the liberals have dreamed for years, as once AMMO is gone, the gun's become worthless.
Of course making your own ammo is easy too, ... but that is another subject, ... think black-powder, ... 1800's firearms,
Of course the real issue is the citizen needs to have the same gun as the cop's, so he can protect his castle from the police-state, ...
Might stop a charging hamster at 40 paces. http://youtu.be/k0CZWBcr9RQ (skip to 11:00)
those kinds of articles make ZH look bad.
OP misses the point on this topic
Summary to date on this topic.
1.) The NSA/DOD has banned world-wide on the internet any search for 'liberator' or any other topical subject. Mind-boggling power this is, ...
2.) The debate has now shifted, to BAN AMMO, as the only way to make us 'safe' from toy plastic gun's is to ban ammo, and pray that ammo cannot be made, ...
The left has long wanted to ban ammo, CODY has created the perfect dialogue,
The CIA/NSA can now control all search activity, and not a peep, and nobody is talking about this, ...
The OP here misses the entire point, this is not about taking the 'liberator' plan down from DEFCAD server's, ... this is about world-wide control of subject matter, I don't even live in the USA, and now all sites to this subject are 'blocked',
The plastic gun is shit, ... but the debate by 'manufacturing consent' ( chomsky ), will now turn to AMMO control, ...
CODY is a FBI shill.
***
This entire issue has just become an 'excuse' to test new software, that allows he DOD/NSA to control world wide viewing on the web. Most interesting again, as that nobody even 'gets' what has happened.
Now anybody or any subject can selectively disappear world wide on the web.
A few days ago, could very well go down as the 'day the internet died', the day that any 'search' became worthless.
In just a few hours all the 'torrent' servers worldwide containing 'search' hashes "liberator" or equivalent led to NULL links. Awesome.
So know we know that everything 'bengazi', or even 'clinton' or obama, could be un-available to the searching world,
What really pisses me off about you butt-heads in the USA, is I don't even live in that fucking dictatorship, but on the other side of earth you still fucking control my life.
