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

New Around Here?

Before anything, users are encouraged to read About and Disclaimers. After that, here are some useful resources:

Joining the Community
Finding Tested Gun Designs
Buying and Configuring a Printer
Printing a Gun
Filing a Form 1 for a DIY suppressor or SBR

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

The Polymaker Wiki - Contains a ton of useful information about general printing practices and Polymaker's plastics
3D2A Wiki - A Reddit-safe wiki for /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 wanted article or a page for a wanted category
Polish up some stub articles
Create a guide
Document some jargon in the glossary
Write articles on notable designs
If you're a manager for one, create a page for your release group and add it to this category

Please ensure articles are written with an encyclopedic tone.

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, hit up the GunCAD Index Matrix Chat.
