So it's a lack of integrity of the 3D printed plastic? What's a Glock made of, nylon?
Bang bang part is metal
Yeah, I did know that. It's just the frame that's "plastic". I remember years ago when they got popular some people were freaking out that a "plastic gun" could go though a metal detector and others had to correct them.
I'm assuming you partially know the answer to that given nylon is a random thing to pull out if you didn't
But it's a specifically engineered polymer of nylon..... And steel.
The problem with building rigid objects with 3d printers is that their weakest point is usually along the layer lines. So even if pieces of real firearms are made of nylon or ABS, they would be injection molded or use a process that forms more durable shapes.
Post processing can address most of that. Pack it in casting sand and heat it up again and let it cool.
I guess it's nylon because that's one of the hardest plastics we have. Many of my tools have "plastic" parts that are nylon.
