I'm pretty sure a $2000 printer isn't necessary to print it. Printrbots are relatively cheap < $500, but you have to assemble it yourself. PrintrBot+ printing

- DigitalJack 13y agoDo they use the same raw material?
- guizzy 13y agoYes, and they can use better material than the ABS used by Defense Distributed. I'm not certain why he hasn't tried making them out of Nylon (of which there is filament widely available now), which has all-around better mechanical properties than ABS.
