"3D printing paintball parts has become extremely popular, especially with newer 3D printer and filament technology.  \n\n\n\n3D printed paintball gear allows any player to fully customize their paintball gun to an unlimited number of different configurations.   By using quality 3D printer filaments like ABS, PETG, and nylon, anyone can make quality accessories that are durable enough for paintball.\n\n\n\nCan You 3D Print a Paintball Gun?\n\n\n\nYou can 3D print most any accessory for a paintball gun with the exception of sections that are meant to hold air.\n\n\n\nDue to fact that 3D printed plastic can't contain high pressures without rupturing or leaking, you can't completely 3D print a paintball gun.  However, you will be able to 3D print the majority of the paintball gun (frame, barrel, body) that doesn't hold air.  Some of the internal parts like the hammer, springs, and hoses will also need to be made of the appropriate materials in order to safely function.\n\n\n\nYou can find plenty of paintball guns on the market (like the Planet Eclipse EMEK) that you can replace the GRN body with your own custom design as all of the high pressure parts are contained in an aluminum body.  This allows you to make some really unique setups.\n\n\n\nPlaces to Find Free Paintball Files\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are quite a few different places that people post the files they have made for everyone to use.
