PETG 3d printed handguns will not explode lol

My first lowers were printed in PETG. They were the last.

i only did this to prove a point to a specific person as they were adamant that it would explode etc. i dont recommend this but dont want people to think petg is as bad a filament as they say.

That is pretty on brand for you to test with your hands 😭

gotta even out the other one somehow.

Thats good because i did this for reason beyond my own comprehension. lol Still not finished tho, had some dental costs that came up.

I've tested this myself, initially they work great. Same thing for AR lowers. The problem is that after several months of absorbing moisture from the air, they tend to become brittle. The AR-15 lower I could do push-ups on after printing, snapped after I dropped it 6" onto the stock.

@NailsToed Is that a homemade retard box?

Petg isn't frowned upon because it's prone to failure, it's just about how it fails. Did a nag in full petg with no issue, still I wouldn't fire it without eye protection, at a minimum 👀

Hate to be your downstairs neighbor 😂
