Welcome to the '''GunCAD Wiki''', a knowledgebase for the design, creation, maintenance, and culture of DIY firearms and accessories.

It is a subproject of the [[GunCAD Index]], which you can visit at [https://guncadindex.com/ https://guncadindex.com].

== New Around Here? ==
Before anything, users are encouraged to read [[GunCAD Wiki:About|About]] and [[GunCAD Wiki:General disclaimer|Disclaimers]]. After that, here are some useful resources:

* [[Joining the Community]]
* [[Finding Tested Gun Designs]]
* [[Buying and Configuring a 3D Printer]]
* [[Choosing the Right Plastic]]
* [[Filing ATF Form 1 for DIY Suppressors &amp; SBRs|Filing a Form 1]] for a DIY suppressor or SBR

And these off-site links are useful for specific domain knowledge:

* [https://guide.ctrlpew.com/ The CTRL+Pew Getting Started Guide] - '''If you're just getting started''', you should read over this guide
* [https://wiki.polymaker.com The Polymaker Wiki] - Contains a ton of useful information about general printing practices and [[Polymaker]]'s plastics
* [https://wiki.3d2a.com/index.php/Main_Page 3D2A Wiki] - A Reddit-safe wiki for [https://reddit.com/r/3d2a /r/3d2a]

== Want to Contribute? ==
First of all, '''print a gun'''. You should have experience with DIY firearms firsthand before you push an edit. Once you've done that, here are some things you could do:

* Add a [[Special:WantedPages|wanted article]] or a page for a [[Special:WantedCategories|wanted category]]
* Polish up some [[:Category:Stub|stub articles]]
* Create a [[:Category:Guides|guide]]
* Document some jargon in [[:Category:Glossary|the glossary]]
* Write articles on notable designs
* If you're a manager for one, create a page for your release group and [[:Category:Release Groups|add it to this category]]
Please ensure articles are written according to [[GunCAD Wiki:Style Guide]].

== Have Questions? ==
If you wanna discuss an article, use its discussion page -- it's what they're there for. If you have a more general question, you should hit up the [https://matrix.to/#/#guncad-index-general:matrix.org GunCAD Index Matrix Chat].</text>
