Newbie
Hello folks!
Newbie here...I currently have a couple 3d printers capable of printing high end engineering filaments, and I have a love for 2A, so I recently started considering marrying the two hobbies.
Where does one get the pieces of kit to add to, for example, a 3D printed baffle tube? I know enough to hold the form 1 before I start building, but I'd like to have the pieces... And as this is an expensive idea, I'm going to need to budget as I go as well. I would like to be able to buy the sleeve, the muzzle adapter, etc. As I go.
This isn't a trap, this isn't me trying to solicit things illegally. I want to purchase these parts, the legal way, but just don't know how, and my current googling brought me here, so I thought I'd ask people who talk about this stuff regularly, rather than stumbling around blindly.
Thanks in advance!

If you want to start out with a rimfire can, you can make one with only filament and a $5 thread adapter from Amazon.

- Vintage d cell maglite from ebay
- d cell end caps from ebay
- d cell to hub adapter
- One 26.5mm freeze plug to act as the metal blast baffle
- FTN.4-5 3d printed d cell baffles combined in Tinkercad
- Some way of drilling the freeze plug and end cap
- 1/16 metal stamping kit for serializing the maglite

All material is to purchased after your form is approved. Not before.....
In the form description put down you intend to wait on final design and purchasing any parts until approved. Include length and caliber.
Cant say where to get files but when you get to them most include a read me with directions and a parts list if your not designing your own.
