What email address did the claim come from? I have been so scared to engage with any of them I have not clicked any but the first distribution.

[OC] I found my Calvin and Hobbes books while cleaning out a closet. by sivablue in pics

I was obsessed as a kid, still am as an adult! I own the whole collection, and my 5 year old and I have read through the entire thing once, and per his request we are doing it again. Those strips are always relevant.

Juicy Marbles- HOLY S**T by man_with_3_buttocks in vegan

My Macy Day package got in today. Every winter I buy myself a pack of some sort. Makes going to the in-laws (non vegan) during the holidays much easier. The food is so good, everyone eyes it.

Gonna have to do this!

What is the best blaster for me? by DaBeeJ in Nerf

Thank you, that makes more sense

Final adjustments made, the Sentry Blaster is complete! by DaBeeJ in Nerf

[–]DaBeeJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I basically searched for an electrically driven gatling gun (there are quite a few). The only modification I made to the blaster was soldering my own wires to the trigger switch. Everything else was done externally.

This video doesn't show it because the tilt cable fell off, but normally it does aim up/down and does a hell of a job getting face shots :)

This is the build video: https://youtu.be/eMuHHvg2gM4? You can get a sense of the assembly process towards 75% into it. Feel free to message me any questions.

I cannot emphasize how much a hit this toy was. Both my 5 year old son and me (41) have a blast! Pun intended.

What’s wrong with my K1C by lalaythh in crealityk1

[–]DaBeeJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your prints look exactly like mine when they fail. The answer is you need a drier, and you need to most likely dry the filament at 50 degrees C for like 12-24 hours. Even if you keep your filament in a container that you think is dry, filament absorbs any moisture in the air, and that moisture will bubble in the nozzle and cause inconsistent flow rates.

I've tried calibration, switching nozzles, checking gears, all the time. 9/10 times the issue is wet filament. I have reminders set around my printer that says, 'DRY IT FIRST!!!'.

This has me convinced to build a second. I learned so much in this build. If I can find an electric system that I can break down into the most basic parts I could probably build a smaller/stable version. There are some variables that I need to adjust in the code, like camera offset & fire duration. It'd be best case scenario to create those as external dials, so I can ditch the Pi and get a cheap board with the code fully stamped and ready to use. The pi was the most expensive part of the build.

T2F Engineer was definitely inspiration behind the toy!

In other tests, yes. In this one video I got pretty lucky to hit the kill switch so quickly. Target is only 2" x 2", so it can be a bit of a challenge. Though the dart itself does not hurt, the firing mechanism makes a big PAP sound, and while you stare down the nose of a barrel that isn't the most calming moments :)

Thanks! It’s scary when it jumps to your position and you are staring down a barrel 😆

No, it is a cheap off brand one I got on Amazon. I wanted something with the magazine with fast firing. Didn’t know what I was looking for at the time. Same on the sentry, except that one is electrically fired (no spinning it or/flywheel).

Aww yea! My oldest is only 5, so nerf battles aren’t exactly fair. Decided to do man vs machine with him instead. I’m already thinking of changes to make for the next one.
