This will be a hot take but I think the community is too conservative with materials. I understand that printed bang sticks are inherently dangerous and it’s best to be on the safe side, but there was a guy on reddit who printed launchers out of ASA only and got shit for that despite having working proofs. There even was a guy who posted a beautiful Urutau made from Creality Hyper PLA-CF and claimed over 100 rounds without signs of damage. OG FGC-9 readme calls for plain PLA. That is not something that an average Joe should do, but experiments could lead us to material independent designs. And it would be a good thing, Homeland security can’t put everyone who orders any type of filament from Amazon on their watch list.
