has anyone with 3d printer made custom wads? or are the plastics too brittle?
I've been playing with a capsule printed on a resin printer with Inland ABS-Like resin. Not brittle and all, probably more flexible than real ABS. I'm unable to break them with my fingers. It replaces the bullet and has a grove that allows it to be crimped so that it doesn't get pushed in and doesn't come out under recoil. Seems to be working.

Just started playing with it and am still tuning the load. Noticing that the pattern is tightening as I bring up the powder charge, so I'm going to keep working it up. Also, the cases that I'm using are a bit short. With longer cases and one piece of cardboard for the wad, I should easily be able to increase the payload to over 145 gr. of #9 shot. Currently holds 139gr.
