It’s just macroplastics, how bad could it be?

General Discussion @forum.guncadindex.com How crazy is it to try resin printing the OP9?
I vastly prefer working with SLA printers, and with a very slight length adjustment and manual supports, I can fit the parts on my build plate. I’m 100% confident the print would succeed (waiting on Pop Pop to say they won’t shoot my dog).
Comparing the TDS of something like Siraya Blu Nylon Black, the stats are very close to the ideal minimums recommended by Hoffman Tactical.
I don’t really care if it melts after a bunch of rounds (it won’t), nor if it abrades easily. I just want it to not explode and to kinda sorta function.
Am I crazy for hoping?
That’s a great idea. I wasn’t sure if that was even a thing, but I’ve been toying with ways of reinforcing the outer tube while I wait and random metal tubing was high on my list. Can’t resist trying all plastic for serial 1, though.
