Has anyone tried like, 3d printing a shaped thin plastic sleeve to pour Tannerite into to make it in to a shaped charge?

Or does the shock ignition propagate in an unpredictable enough way to make that impractical?

For anyone who’s coming into this halfway: Tannerite is a consumer explosive because it’s sold and stored (and regulated) as two individually stable components and mixed before use. Even then it’s fairly impact-stable – if you drop a container of it you won’t blow yourself up, so you set it off by firing a bullet at it (it was originally marketed for treating shooting targets to make hits clearer)
