2) Adapt the design down to cheaper 3D printers

Goal: Adapt the design so it can be printed on less expensive 3D printers-without compromising safety.

These guns will be almost completely plastic, so melting and failing in your hand will be a concern. Only after testing a few dozen designs to failure will we discover the right limitations to be comfortable rating a WikiWep as safe for one use. Basically we need to break some guns. This is the seed money for the second phase of development. We want to minimize negative media about the safety concerns of untested firearms and the inevitable suggestions that governments should protect us from ourselves.

The Impact

DefDist will build and design a 100% 3D printable gun for the purpose of porting to a RepRap printer. The result will be an easily accessible and replicable design shared with the world. At this point, any person has near-instant access to a firearm through the internet.

Every dollar contributed to this project is also a vote to export the protections of the Second Amendment to the entire world. Libertas.
