What Is This?

In a phrase: a search engine for GunCAD designs. It scrapes Odysee/LBRY and automatically tags and categorizes content from a large number of channels.

GunCAD?

Short answer: printed guns.

Long answer: GunCAD (also 3D2A, 3DPG, Fosscad, etc.) is the concept of and communities surrounding the publication of designs, schematics, build guides, and testing notes for DIY weapons and accessories.

Consult these links for primers, communities, and more details:

• Ctrl+PEW Getting Started Guide - A fantastic starting point for all skill levels. If you want to get into this and don't know where to start, start here
• The GunCAD Wiki - A wiki on all things DIY firearms, hosted by the same people that host this site

Is this Open-Source?

Absolutely! This site is free and open-source software licensed under the terms of the GNU AGPLv3 license. The data I largely don't care what you do with, but you cannot charge for its redistribution.

Additionally, we make good use of code/assets from these open-source projects:

• Heroicons, MIT
• Django-Markdownify, MIT

And big thanks to these contributors:

• Alyosha of 3D2A (fka 3dprintfreedom)
• @_GUMM13

What's This Stamp Mean?

It means the release is verified to meet our quality control requirements. They are (using RFC-2119 keywords):

• It MUST be safe. Releases that pose an unreasonable risk to their user will never be verified.
• It MUST be tested. There is no set requirement for the size of the testing pool as each release is unique and testers can be hard to come by, but a pool of 1 is unacceptable.
• It MUST be documented. Requirements for documentation:
  • It MUST be included in the archive. It MUST NOT be only available via LBRY/Odysee description.
  • It MUST be accurate. Text and graphics MUST NOT refer to features that were removed prior to release. Graphics MAY include said features so long as they do not pertain to the assembly being demonstrated and are not distracting.
  • It MUST be comprehensive. Auxiliary resources SHOULD NOT be required to complete the build by a reasonable, median builder. Remixes MAY link to their upstream release in leiu of this requirement.
  • It SHOULD contain useful graphics, especially of complicated/dense assemblies.
  • It SHOULD contain a comprehensive list of authors.
  • It SHOULD contain a valid license for the files in the bundle.
  • It SHOULD contain parametric redistributables, such as STEP files, either in the bundle or available via link.
• It MUST be available in an unencrypted archive in a format modern computers can extract. It SHOULD be a common open-source file format (zip, 7z, tar.gz, etc.). It MUST NOT be only a model file. It MUST NOT be password-protected, even if that password is available via LBRY/Odysee.
• It SHOULD NOT contain Bambu Studio or derivative slicers' project files
• It SHOULD be sanitized/scrubbed to remove PII with reasonable available tooling

Only a handful of trusted channels from communities with robust release procedures have this seal applied automatically. For all others, this stamp is assigned on a case-by-case basis.
