Has anyone ever tried making a kind of hybrid design using both 3d printed and cnc milled aluminium parts? I'm about to build a aluminium-capable cnc, so if anyone has any Ideas for me to try, I'd be very happy!

You could try the Prof parabellum Hybrid Square Tube SMG under “hybrid designs” on the Gatalog

You could also mill triggers and whatnot. If you got a CNC you kinda need to carve your own path here. Start with small stuff and work up.

carve your own path here

I see what you did there.

With CNC routers that can cut aluminum being the price of a decent printer, I hope to see a lot more metal in the fosscad space.
