San Diego County is suing Polymaker. Why you ask? Marketing. Polymaker is a community standard for many of us in this community they have great materials and fantastic quality. Any printer whether printing firearms or not knows this. So a county in the state of California decided to target Polymaker. Polymaker has always marketed to us because their quality and in the majority of the US gunsmithing is completely legal as well as PMFs. Included in the lawsuit are references to a good friend of our Sean a man known as the 3DPrintGeneral. An absolute legend in 3d printing who got his start printing firearms and now focuses on content around new printers and materials. "The company created firearm-themed products, partnered with gun-printing influencers, paid affiliates to promote its filament to gun-printing audiences, provided technical guidance for firearm applications and engaged directly with online communities devoted to printing guns," the County statement said." So now communities like ours who follow the law and use materials because of quality are an enemy to California. They can and will sue regardless of any of this making sense regardless of the state, regardless of regulations or free speech. The goal isn't to win. The goal is to force the companies to burn money. The idea is that the companies will avoid doing whatever the plaintiffs are suing them over to prevent further headaches.

Today we are proud to announce the Urutau MK2 has left beta and been released through our normal upload channels. Developed by Zé Carioca a friend to many of us in the community we thought this one would be lost due to his incarceration at the hands of the Brazilian government. Developer Rsmith28 came along with backed up files and asked us for help finishing up the pack and getting this one out to the public. I'm proud to know that we were able to finish this legacy project and release it today. The MK2 comes with many upgraded features compared to the V1. It's much more compact compared to an FGC-9 or V1 Urutau, it comes with a slappable charging handle like the MP5 and improves the trigger and barrel. There is increased and improved documentation as well as a new ammunition type the 9x23mm Stark. This new ammo type is a DIY cartridge that is extremely easy to replicate. The MK2 is an SBR by definition with an overall length of 16.8 inches. We really hope you enjoy this design as much as we have. Come and join the Black Lotus Coalition and make some history with us.
