The Liberator pistol made headlines when its creator lit his 3D printer created, building guns that shoot really little more than the plastic components combined cost little more than your average Blu-ray. Now, the turning point in the history of DIY 3D printing is comfortably installed in a London museum, reports Engadget.
Liberator of Cody Wilson had his own faults from the beginning, which destroyed half of the case, but later proved he could give several shots. As John Biggs explained in an overview, which technically can be printed at home for anyone who wants one, but not all self-printed versions carried the story that make these original models Libertador.
As Biggs noted, homemade weapons are not new; It is a longstanding pastime, especially in the USA, with an illustrious history. But while once a lathe and other tools of iron metallurgy and some kind of dedication and sand is required, it is now more or less can be managed by casual fans able to spend some money on a 3D printer competition in downloading Internet files.
The project is developed by the London museum Victoria & Albert is designed to display a series of "projects of contemporary design", of which the printed-3D Libertador is a key example, and these are displayed between September 14 - 22 to the time, the Liberator has not led to a popular revolution or a wave of murders, but getting eyes-on the original could still be a story to tell the grandkids one day depending on how things go out.
