But, in order to produce one of this quality takes a machine that costs anywhere from 180,000 to 350,000.

So how many do you want? How much are you willing to pay for one coming off this machine when it would take more than a day of printing just to make 1.

I have all sorts of parts and pieces printed in PC-ABS to test designs. The cost of a relatively small part (a curved object about 1/4” thick, 1-1/2 wide and 3” long) is $35.00 per piece. This is .01 accuracy just for test fit. Higher accuracy takes far more time, especially with the new metal printing machines.

The 3D-printer used to make the gun was bought on eBay for $8,000
