In my 7.4L suburban run a 1960s engine with 1970s carburetor 1980s 3 speed non lockup transmission, 1990s wide band O2 for tuning and get the same or better mileage than suburbans built now.

These 3D printers appear to most commonly use ABS and PLA plastic that has been extruded to look like weedeater line.

I am going to submit the paper work to legally build one or 2 portable detachable muzzle suppressors before I return to the U.S. Then I can rebuild that particular serial number as many times as I want (I can only have one of each serial number at a time). Just toss the old one in a wood chipper and print a new one.
