No rounds, I'm waiting on a few replacement parts to come in, specifically the semi-auto disconnector and safety. The original ones don't work too well with the 3D printed receiver.

how many rounds do you plan on firing? i'm curious as to how well the thing is going to hold up.
again i'm circling back to you being ballsy or foolish for submitting a form 1 on the thing already when you don't even know if it'll shatter into a million pieces or crack in half on your second mag.

Given that it's already been fired with shittier plastic by other people, I'm not anticipating either to happen. We're about to find out.

I used Alumide, a mixture of aluminum flecks and polyamide. It's usually printable by most common industrial-grade 3D printers. So the key is to go find a 3D printer available to you.
Looking at the receiver, the spring rests against the top of that receiver ... unlike gAyR, there is actually recoil pressure on the tip of it, so this would indeed be interesting. Just don't put your face behind the receiver because if the back plate gives out the bolt is going right in your face.
Where are you getting the "black grip" ?

also this dude made the receiver from Aluminum, it's ****ing tiny, you can probably dremel this shit.

The black "special forces" or "police" grip is available at Czechpoint. I would buy the semi-auto interruptor and extra springs while you're there too.
I got in touch with the creator of the 3D model, we're going to work on improving it.
Do you know if a davinci 1.0A can handle alumide? how is the gun holding up? I am considering building one of these but as of right now I can only print ABS unless replace the extruder and possibly add a filament cooling fan.
I've no idea about davinci 1.0A, but ABS should also hold up for a while. The thing about 3D printing is that it's cheap. Just print another one if it breaks. There should be better models coming out soon.

Could you just make a mold and cast out of aluminum ?
Yes, you can.
were the 3d models fixed. ive ben keeping my eye on this
Not quite yet, there are some reinforcements that are needed in places.
