Don't worry about the witty response ...I'm only witty half the time ...
Hope that doesn't make me a "Half Wit"...

I'd totally be up for it once we get our print settings down. Right now we are playing around with some of the printable AR lowers and whatnot from Fosscad but getting way too much warping to consider using them (we have only had the printer about a month now). Lemme know if you have anything in particular you are thinking of getting printed and I'll see what I can do.Welcome, wanna 3D print me some parts?
Hah, I was considering looking into the local pyro club (North West Pyrotechnics Association) and seeing if they actually do any events where you actually get to build 1.3g shells/rockets/salutes instead of just buying and shooting 1.3/1.4g stuff. Its tons of fun but when you consider you end up spending 20+ hours and depending on the shell/rocket up to maybe 60$ for something that discharges in a couple seconds its not the best hobby for someone on a tight budget. At least with guns I can save my brass and reload =)Welcome, and be sure to post some videos when you blow some sh1t up!

orygun: its funny you say that because I've been wanting to do an appleseed event ever since seeing it mentioned in one of Freds m14 stocks ad's in Shotgun News years back. I've put the idea out there with my partner, her father and mother and it sounds like we are going to make it happen. Thanks for the suggestion, I had totally forgotten about Appleseed!
Whitney: we have been printing in ABS on a Monoprice maker ultimate. Thus far we only have made one other attempt printing with ABS and it didn't fare much better so I'm thinking it may be part of the learning experience ( In fact we are pretty new to 3d printing in general, thankfully my partners father is an engineer and has been able to help out considerably).
As for the quality with the stuff from Foss Cad I can't say it all seems to be very plug and play or workable (especially that mortar shell, It seems like something that even Ragnar Benson or Kurt Saxon would nope away from in an instant). But troubleshooting stuff and figuring out what works is totally part of the fun for me.
I would be very interested in the 1911 .stl, out of curiosity are you using it to cast frames ? I only know what lost PLA casting is, not any good places to learn about it, where would be a good place to learn more about it ? Last time I did any casting was in metal shop back in middle school but I remember it being pretty awesome.
