A doohickey, to surpass the previous doohickey
Why was he still carrying it around? He could just print another one.
These 3D printed guns typically involve printing the inert, serialized part of the gun and building the rest of it out of non-serialized replacement parts which you still need to buy somewhere. But still, leave the gun, take the cannolis.
I know
So easy to get rid of and replace. Must just be ego.

Q: What sort of reliability should I expect?
A: Reliability on my builds has been great. From what I’ve seen, reliability with these sorts of builds depends on the parts you use. With OEM parts and OEM mags, these frames run amazingly. Aftermarket slides, barrels, and other parts you can sometimes run into little issues like failures to eject or extract.From the pdf FAQ
I don't know much about printed guns. The barrel, striker and extractor have to be metal, right?
Yeah. In this case, it's the same thing as milling out an 80% frame. You're making a hunk of plastic (that the government considers "a gun" and tracks/requires serialization) and inserting a bunch of easily purchased and not-tracked metal parts to make a functional firearm.
I was right!
Well kinda. It's not quite a boondoggle
