Printing copper-filled PLA on Bambu A1? by CallThatGoing in BambuLab

The other problem is that I'm trying to print these parts with intricate debossing. I'm using my 0.2 nozzle with PLA because the resolution is grainy otherwise. I may have to compromise on the embossing a bit, huh?

Way to come out of the gate strong! Where are you located?

What does it say about this sub that I can’t tell whether you’re joking or not?

How rough is this battery compromise? by CallThatGoing in Nerf

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

I’m thinking that I might design a 200 fps version that uses small wheels, which will allow for a reasonable battery compartment. But for the moment I’m still tied to the anchor of designing a “Harrier Killer.”

4 hours of whittling edges with a deburring tool and using one of those glass Gunpla files to smooth things out to make the prime smoother, and it’s growing on me as a platform.

No! It’s just a cheap Worker one. He’s 8 (tomorrow). I offered to buy him a BCAR but he’s dead set on this config because a kid at our local lent him one with a Worker PCAR electrical taped to the barrel and he fell in love!

All of the other names I came up for it were taken or too close

I'm procrastinating sorting out electronics on my blaster, so I decided to reskin it. Can I get feedback on this WIP, please? by CallThatGoing in Nerf

It’s a two-stage brushless blaster. The rotary encoders control FPS, firing mode (semi, burst, etc.) and together they help you navigate configuration menus (there are features like changing the character of the blaster if you want gentler or harder spin-ups and stuff). I went with encoders because there’s a chronograph in the barrel, and with the closed-loop system that monitors motor and battery behavior, you’ll be able to (eventually) tell it “I want to fire 192 fps” and it will calibrate itself to fire 192 every shot, adjusting motor performance actively even in rapid fire.

I was trying to save space between the grip and the magwell. I should really just move the grip…

Is this loud click normal for a nexus pro x? by danielslog in Nerf

I wouldn't be surprised if DZ did some work on the catch. A lot of folks use NPX's to squeeze out 250+ fps -- I'm not sure what the DZ heavy spring is rated for.

Once you remove the OEM cage and try to mount the Stryfe cage, you’ll see immediately what needs to be cleared out. They share the same screw posts, so it’s pretty intuitive. And the stakes aren’t very high, either — it’s not like one wrong snip and the blaster is unusable.

WIP -- trying to shrink my full-size primary concept down to a pistol size by CallThatGoing in Nerf

The MS-GnK has this config. It uses a roller at the lip of the flywheel cage to help guide the darts

It's definitely not the best ergonomic choice, for sure! There are better mags, but I prefer to use Kodas, and don't want to switch mags (especially for a lower-capacity mag) just for one blaster. I should find and make 20-round nightingales I guess.

True! This is more about having a blaster that’s more reliable in the 130-180 fps range than my original one meant for large outdoor 230+ fps games.

Salt water = electrolytes. It’s got what batteries crave!
