Certainly your choice, but doesn't make you seem like any less of a d*ck.

So why didn't you say that from the beginning? This sounds like you totally changing your tune.

Totally different situations, making something, versus sharing how you made it, or even sharing a dimensioned print for that matter. I own my own CNC machine shop and build/sell firearms, so I'm VERY aware of liability issues.

I've made hundreds of custom car components for other people. I've also redesigned dozens of Toyota drivetrain components over the years and because I wasn't interested in producing them in large scale, gave others my CAD files in the interest of sharing.

One big name company (in the Toyota aftermarket) took my design and had it produced in China...lol.

If you don't want to share any information, a forum based around sharing information might not be the place to hang out...
