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].

And ~~some~~ off-site ~~helpful~~ links for ~~general printing~~ knowledge:

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

* [https://wiki.polymaker.com The Polymaker Wiki] - Contains a ton of useful information about general printing practices and Polymaker's plastics

* [https://guide.ctrlpew.com/ The CTRL+Pew Getting Started Guide] - '''If you're just getting started''', you should read over this guide

* Add a [[Special:WantedPages|wanted article]]

* 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 notable designs

* Document some jargon in [[:Category:Glossary|the glossary]]

* If you're a manager for one, create a page for your release group and [[:Category:Release Groups|add it to ~~the right~~ category]]

* 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]].
