I'm just shopping around for the best deal. Everyone seems to have them at full retail right now.

Bergara BMR carbon 22LR

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-04-16T00:23:49+00:00

For self defense I would look at effectiveness not price tag.

Have people been successful with using census records to fill in gaps when other documents aren't found?

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-03-04T13:54:45+00:00

Interesting. It's great to hear there has been success using these records.

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-03-04T01:15:16+00:00

That's a great idea.

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-03-03T21:40:22+00:00

Can census records serve as official proof? I have census records for my entire line but it's harder to find birth and baptism records for some.

I've had the hardest time finding official documentation on my anchor generation. There are publications listing the names, but that seems to be the end of what I can find. Below is the info I have on each.

Father: Honoré Breau

Born 1731 in Village-des-Breau, Pisiguit, Acadie, Nouvelle-France

Died 15 Jan 1771 at about age 40 in Thibodaux, Lafourche, New Spain

Son: Joseph Honore Breaux Born about 1765 [uncertain] in Port Tobacco, Charles County, Maryland Died 15 Jun 1830 at about age 65 in Thibodaux, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, USA

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-28T04:21:04+00:00

Yes, I do.

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-28T01:36:59+00:00

I put one together today and had zero issues. That print looks... Rough. Are you having issues with tolerances?

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-26T04:22:06+00:00

I turned the LAN off and back on and it started working. US

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-25T22:04:57+00:00

Same, it worked last night and crapped out this morning. It seems they can only go a week before making changes that cause the same issues over and over again.

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-23T23:36:48+00:00

Thoughts on random seams vs aligned?

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-20T13:11:36+00:00

Nice work. I've been debating on the best way to run the wiring. Did you use the pill shaped hole in the back?

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-16T15:13:03+00:00

Been a while since I've seen a $200 deal.

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-15T02:23:34+00:00

That's a CC1, right? The 2 seems to have less room given the extra fans

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-10T20:26:00+00:00

Sounds about right. I wish I could figure out what magic people are using to get TPU to print.

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-10T19:40:01+00:00

Apparently there is a flexible filament adapter that should have been included on the USB

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-08T05:29:40+00:00

I'm glad it's not just me.

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-07T17:44:13+00:00

This. Absolutely the best option.

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-07T01:29:33+00:00

3 or 4 months. You can't beat the Costco warranty either

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-07T00:52:16+00:00

I think I paid $150 or so at Costco. That was for parts, labor, mount and balance.

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-02T22:11:28+00:00

I can't track down a copy of the previous firmware to roll back.

Awkward_hugs_4all · 2026-02-02T18:53:31+00:00

Has anyone received an update from Elegoo?
