I'm going to have to print some goddamn flowers to stuff in the barrels of the guns folks will be printing.

I better get started.

Would 3D printing allow us to print/build a original replacement gear for the TG-CD?

This gives me a reason to invest in a 3d printer.

I just checked, CNCGunsmith.com. The website is an outright fake,
you search all you get is a bunch of google ads, and Win 10,000 dollars for life.

However as a result of this story, I bet 100% people will waste their money on a 3d printer.

The trick, however, is not simply to re-create the gear, but to use a plastic that is sturdy/viable for HEAVY DUTY USAGE.
