This is Orcbolg. Fully DIY .380 ACP pistol. You may seen it on reddit 3D2A few months ago. Now time to test it. As I live not in land of the second amendment, for me it not so easy. But I did possible for me at this moment and can claim Orcbolg can handle at least 20 shots. About pistol: Not fully printed, but no gun parts, only simple metalworks like drilling and cutting. Slide are composite of printed liner and metal square tube, JB-weld together. Breech face metal too. FGC-9 like barrel. If you feel yousel able to help this project - email me Sgt.Butters@proton.me If you have any question - feel free to ask here. At this moment I am trying to make minimal instructions. As it will be done, i'll start sending instructions and STEP files for everyone who care.

Have you found a tester yet?

I believe the minimum relevant group has been assembled. If you'd like to join, you're welcome.

I'm too dumb to be scared. Got some pa6cf today, and a box of 380 just waiting for a good time. Ill give it a shot.

IMHO pa6cf is too much for prototype which probably have some undiscovered issue. Personally I will stay on PLA, until release version. But different bilds mean more interesting information.

I've got pla+ too. You're right, wouldnt be wise to use pa6 on it until all the issues get sorted out. I just got excited, I like diy builds lol

I have a 3D printer and would like to become a tester. I can print guns and test them. I have sent you an email.

Looking good. What hardware have you included in the design? Just cut sheet metal and an ECM barrel? Very much appreciate a new fully DIY design.

30x30x1.5 square tube as slide cover and 20x20 square as breechblock.
