3D printer
Scrap in, stock out.
Prints sellable items from scrap and modules, which is how a gunsmith keeps margin alive without a supplier.
Printing shifts the trade from buying stock to manufacturing it: the constraint moves from credits to material and power.
Printing removes the supplier from the loop, which matters most when permits or reputation freeze the legal market. Material becomes the limit instead of price, and a full output grid becomes the new failure mode.
The machine is also a reminder that production and legality are separate systems: pulling a weapon out of a printer does not make it sellable, it only makes it ownable.
Counter protocol
- Module bay is where printing specialisation lives.
- Output grids fill up — printed stock spills into the store when they do.
- Printed weapons still need the licence that makes selling them legal.

Printer and Desequencer now spill output into the store instead of stalling when their grids are full.
“The Furnace (blast module), Printer and Desequencer now spill into the store if their output inventory is full.”
Community gunsmith guides treat a printer as the way to keep weapon stock without buying it.
