Hello.......Looking for a Recommendation on a Member and / or Company that can make a Custom Size 3D Printed Suppressor / Silencer ?
Custom 3D Print Suppressor
- Thread starter RWC
- Start date
do you have a model file ready or are you looking for a CAD designer as well? I can print stuff but not design...

My wife's cousin in Seattle Washington uses a 3D printing company that uses a easy to use CAD (free if I remember correctly) program that you do yourself to make the design. Allows you to modify the drawing. Looked pretty easy although I did do ACAD when I was working. You can either send the file or the drawing to a 3D printer company which might be the same company. Has used the company to make custom plastic brackets and mountings for his boat and antique sports car. I just sent him an email for the info. Hopefully I will get the info soon. He showed me one bracket he designed. Looked pretty complicated, Said the small bracket would cost about $100. However, this 3D printer does only several grades of plastic. One type is quite strong and resistant to I believe 200 F. He said he heard of other 3D printers that do metal including stainless steel.

This is the advice I got back from my Wife's cousin.
The 3D CAD service I use is OnShape.com and the 3D Printing service I use is Pro3DComposites.com. Since 3D printing involves shipping a physical object, I recommend finding one closer to home. For example in the Atlanta area, one is “Xometry” which offers the same service as mine of emailing them the object definition and getting a quote back via email. The important criteria for selecting a 3D printing service are the maximum size of the object, available materials and cost for the object you need to make.
Hope that helps.

I am a mechanical designer on high end CAD platform, I can design it for you as per your sketches, but I have only resin printers, I don't know what the filaments need tolerances offsets. My resins I am using is within 50 microns min-max and considering it much more precise vs filaments. I have also sourced my projects to shapeways, I printed SST and Bronze parts there.

read the fine print of the agreement for whatever service you pick to print it (unless its a known airgunner).... most have statements reflecting that they wont print evil gun parts......
one thing about a print company, your part has to be 100% as they'll likley be no recourse for a fix then reprint. And since no one has mentioned pricing, be prepared for sticker shock for 1 unit.....
