US Government shuts down 3D gun manufacturer

Wonder if the newer models can handle teflon?

From what I've read, the plan is that v2 will be able to print hard plastics (as with v1) and various forms of polyurethane. It will also be able to print individual objects with more than one material (for example a hard plastic core with a soft rubbery outer shell).

Sadly I don't have enough experience of working with the materials that you're using, but I have successfully used RepRap to create molds (in pieces that have to be put together, then sanded) that I used for making carbon fiber items and fiber glass molds. I also made a chess set :D
 
Sorry for double post, seems like it won't let me edit the last post to add this but....

I just read that the next major set of plans to be made available for 3D printers is for an invisibility cloak. From what I read of how it works, it would only make something "invisible" from certain angles, and right now that "something" is only microwaves, but still, the next step is hilariously obvious; is someone going to manage to combine the two plans to create printable, invisible/semi visible guns?

"The future ain't what it used to be" ;)

Make your own invisibility cloak with a 3D printer
