Now available at Maplins only £699.
A guy in America made his own working handgun with a 3D printer.
Just think about it Print your own spares for your Trucks cars etc.

Yeh but that gun was as powerful as a pea shooter, luckily

I think the powers that be over there in the US of A tried to get the plans for the gun off the web

They should have asked the Chinese, as they obviously failed

Well wings not possible, as the bed is only 20 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm high, I like the idea though, Star Trek have had a replicator for years.

I wonder when they will develop a metal version!
