I need a custom stock that would easily cost north of 2500
What caliber did your pistol grip stock go on?I don't know about wood resins, but I've printed a combined pistol grip and stock from ABS, and it works pretty well - no cracking or warping at all.
The printing costs themselves are almost negligible, it's the printer that costs a lot.
I wish it did. It needs to be custom made (Perazzi MX-14...) with a 1.25"(If I remember correctly) stock offset.Can't have an adjustable comb and butt pad installed that would work?
Otherwise $2500 buys a lot of stock unless you are looking for top tier grained walnut.
I bought it used. I already have a professional fitter (who has does work for olympic teams).Did you contact Perazzi USA? If you bought the gun new, you had a chance to have it made to your specs for no additional cost. Otherwise, contact someone like S&S in MT.
The only way ABS would be used would be to make a mold and pour in a wood&resin mixture. Otherwise I would use a more sturdy filament.Hobby grade 3D printers using ABS doesn't yield a particularly strong product. It is nowhere near the strength you get from injection molding, and even then, ABS would be a marginal material for a shotgun stock.
You would be a lot better off hand carving it from a chunk of UHMW polyethylene.
Wally, the 3D filament is made up of 40% recycled wood and the rest a binding polymer. Unless, of course, I am misunderstanding what you are saying.

I am not cross-eye dominant, or shooting off the wrong shoulder. This cast is to get my eyes level & not at an angle.Are you talking cast or drop? If you need 1.25" of cast, it seems like you are cross dominant and shooting off the wrong shoulder.
They make filaments that require a certain bed temp and extruder temp, both of which my 3D printer will be able to handle. Although, I think I may end up doing a mold and pouring a sawdust and resin mixture because it would be easier.What are you going to use? Most of the homeowner grade printers aren't able to do Nylons and the like.
If I were to 3D print a gun stock made up of 40% recycled wood and the rest a binding polymer, would it crack if I put it on a 12Ga shotgun?
While I can't you a specific design (I have not had the time to model it), here is a basic design that I will be copying and adding 1.25" offset to the right.There's no way to answer that question. It is similar to asking if I make a chair out of 40% recycled wood and binding polymer will it work at the bar? You have to specify the materials AND the design to have any meaningful starting place.
