Crazy, this dude looks like a teenager. Amazing what we can achieve these days when brilliance meets access to technology and unwavering motivation.
I cannot imagine anything cooler than a random stranger being able to build military equipment with a 3D printer. Wait … after all – banana split would be cooler.
Scary times.
I remember in the early 90s my handheld GPS was deliberately off by at least 10m and was told it was for this very reason. The reason being the ability to build a accurate smart munition.
Dude I would NOT play games with International Traffic in Arms Regulations laws…’it was just a science project’ isn’t an infallible legal defense…
Dude is definitely getting a knock knock from ATF…
And then probably a job offer from Mr Lucky
*Palmer Luckey screeches down out of the sky and grabs the would be competitor in its claws*
Gosh and I thought my man pad was pretty cool until now
Lockheed Martin at this guy’s door with a job offer.
Now, the motor for this thing.
That’s not, I suggest, in the price.
3D2A community been doing this since well before covid. There are handful of launchers out there, and dozens of projectile designs.
Why would we need something like this when we can pay the DIB millions per shot?
Hammer Industries?
That’s Battlefield 6 ammunition!
I haven’t watched the video yet, but it seems like the software would be the hard part, not 3d printing the shell
Files?
After I saw a guy on YouTube build a silo-launched gimballed-engine model rocket I figured you could build missiles from off the shelf parts. The original sidewinder seeker would be trivial to replicate nowadays
Updated Anarchist’s Cookbook?
OPEN SOURCE WARFARE
The 3d second amendment space is very interesting, it’s a shame all the gun grabbing politicians treat it as scary “ghost guns” that need to be made illegal when it’s really a bunch of nerdy dudes prototyping and designing
Can’t wait until Raytheon shows up and offers him a high paying job so long as he never tells anyone else how to make these.
(edit – there’s no tracking capability, this thing just fires a missile at a specific point in space, it’s basically an RPG)
… you wouldn’t download a MANPAD
He’s forgetting the most important part. The boom boom BOOM part.
Yeah that’s fucking terrible if it gets in the wrong hands, thanks.
He will be bought out by a government contractor for millions who will raise the price up to the millions and sell it to the government. The American way.
Crazy, I wonder if this guy put his minds forward solving some of our worlds problems what would happen. I think he’s obviously brilliant. But more solutions then problems would be greatly appreciated.
STL?
Better hope he doesn`t have any dogs!
And now the military industrial complex will make them out of the same parts but charge the US 1M for each one lol
Sorry why is this legal? Or is it?
