Has anyone ever tried making a kind of hybrid design using both 3d printed and cnc milled aluminium parts? I'm about to build a aluminium-capable cnc, so if anyone has any Ideas for me to try, I'd be very happy!

Mild Steel sounds really interesting, there is this one design from Prof Parabellum, a semi-auto pistol chambered in .380 made from sheet metal, might be a good starting point
