Any 3D printed gun is carbon negative if used to take out virtually any human. People do not live sustainable lives.

What do you think the net pollution of Luigi’s alleged Glock and suppressor print is, all things considered?

This paper estimates the CO2e emissions of roughly a 1kg spool (estimates are done by length of filament, not weight, but weight would end up being about 1kg) of PLA filament at 3.10kg of CO2e.
The model used to print the alleged ghost gun is the FMDA 19.2 by "the Gatalog," which when I load it into my slicer shows an estimated 55g of filament used to print when using 15% infill, and 94g with 100% solid infill, for an estimated 0.1705-0.2914 CO2e of emissions for the printed parts. (This doesn't include any support material, depending on print positioning)
There's no easy way to determine how much of that could theoretically end up as microplastics though.
As for the metal parts, I have no clue lmao, I don't care to estimate it that much.Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
How much co2 emissions did he save if he capped a CEO tho?

I have absolutely no clue how to calculate that by myself. I think that would call for a... lifecycle analysis.

Get it?

I'll show myself out.

I’m not sure of the numbers, but it was a net positive for the public’s health even if the difference is fairly small.
