single_function Going from a 3D printed super safety to a metal cast or milled super safety seems to be a big jump in effort and/or cost. I wonder if there is perhaps a middle ground: Could I create a 3D-printed mold of the super safety, and then use that to cast it in resin? (Something along the lines of https://www.instructables.com/Strengthening-a-3D-Printed-Part/) How much stronger would the resin-based SS be compared to a carbon fiber-based SS? Am I missing something here? I might want to try out this approach, but I don't want to go down this path if it's not likely to be a much better.
hoffmantactical single_function This issue, as @PistollPeet pointed out, is that resin is not better. Specifically, rigid resins of all types tend to lack wear resistance. Metal casting, probably vacuum investment casting, would be the best at home approach.
