Up until a year ago the 3d printing didn't make usable parts. But in the last year they have come out with higher strength material. The material I'm using a type of abs plastic thread. The parts are made solid. (There is no honeycombing on the inside) I don't have access to a contender so I'm not planning on making any parts for that model. I can print them in different colors. Including black.

To print my parts was $125 just for the material. Designing and modeling them is cad is easy. The cost for production isn't very feasible. If I was to make my stock for production. I would have it made out of alum. I would also have 25 of them made. The cost would be about half.

Did you cut notches on the aluminum so the rear stock could be slid forward or back to adjust pull? Also what keeps the stock from turning on the shaft? Looks pretty cool. Now all it needs is black plastic and a set of rosewood grips. Not sure I care for the style of the grip, but it might be very comfortable when in use. It would just have to be tried. Good job and hurry up and finish it. Pictures man, Pictures.
When I had access to a 3D printer it would only make the hard stuff that did not hold up well to much use. Like you if I had the access now just look out. Back then I could get most anything I could dream up made in the machine shop and welding lab. Just draw it and it got made. Retired and don't have that access anymore. Could still get the stuff done but too far to drive to get it done.

Looks pretty good. Still not sure I like the 1911 style grip, but don't look too bad. For me at least it would take a whole lot getting used to. I love the look of the forearm there. Back before you showed us the first one I had started working on something a little similar but do not have the facilities at hand that you seem to have. Just a band saw and drill press. Keep at it. Looking good.
