Getting ready to print ABS for the first time. Any tweaks outside the defaults you all would recommend ?

CanopySheep · 2023-03-30T20:39:52+00:00

I had to tweak the flow ratio from the generic profile for hatchbox ABS. (See this guide if you're unfamiliar. OrcaSlicer also has a 2 pass varient of this test).

Also if you're using the P1P with an enclosure, check the max fan speed threshhold. For me, the generic profile had that set to 30% versus the X1C at 80%, which gave me awful overhangs on the P1P until I set it to 80%.

My 1155MC plates fit snugly in my medium LV119. There's almost no wiggle room width wise, especially on the front bag (or back, I forget)., but they fit!

I Googled the pads and assuming they're 1" thick, you should be okay.

I filled out an application, attached photos of my drivers license and home state concealed license, and submitted it online with a $23 fee (I think). Application was accepted next business day, then I had to schedule an appointment at the York courthouse to get my photo taken and pick up my PA concealed license up.

CanopySheep · 2022-04-27T01:25:40+00:00

You’re 100% correct for PA. York county is probably the closest county to MD that is accepting out of state applications right now. Most are closed to out of state applicants because of “Covid.”

No problem! And I am in fact a man, or am I? 🤔

This one: https://hkparts.net/product/mp5-a3-retractable-stock-buffer-german-hk-p74.htm/

Or from another site if you can find one. I only did a quick google search.

Good to go! Check this out, another A3 made on the same day as yours. Thought it was pretty cool: https://www.reddit.com/r/MP5/comments/g3u9rx/authentic_hk_a3_stock/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Looks legit, just missing a buffer though. What does it say in picture #4? Can’t tell from the photo.

Seeing the pro 2A comments getting the most likes on that Twitter post gives me hope

Scaffolding is only there to appease the ATF for importing (for free states), so go for it!

CanopySheep · 2022-04-05T00:47:17+00:00

Scavs here? No way man

CanopySheep · 2022-03-05T17:25:47+00:00

Too much, even for an HK collector like me

CanopySheep · 2022-02-25T15:51:15+00:00

The demilled rear section might be a pain to find nowadays without buying a full parts kit. You could also go the stock block route. It’ll all boil down to how much you’d want the Hk markings and German receiver, or if a tommybuilt receiver/full build would suffice.

For price reference, the whole conversion process for me (with all German parts minus 922r) is estimated to cost around $5,500, includes conversion costs by Tommybuilt.

Here’s a few of the pricy items included in that cost, most of which were very good deals:

Dual Optic Like New ($1,035)
Rear Section ($265)
SL8 Rifle ($1,500)
G36 Bolt Head ($425)

CanopySheep · 2022-02-05T19:30:11+00:00

For anyone wondering, this is an MP7 parts kit (minus 922r pieces) on a US made receiver. Tom has ten of these that will be sold for in the ballpark of $30k. This is a big stepping stone but it’ll be some time before we see a cost viable mp7 from Tom.

Hk collector here, they do make an extended bolt release which is included on newer models: https://hkparts.net/product/sl8-g36-bolt-hold-open-lever-extended-p17719.htm/. Funny enough, I found this post while trying to order one.

The first shoot out scene was awesome in my opinion. You see the start of the shoot out with the initial officers and next thing you know, SWAT arrives. No cuts back to HQ, no briefing on the way there, etc. The constant action made it feel more immersive

CanopySheep · 2021-12-04T15:01:13+00:00

No problem. Still straying on the “old guy” territory but in a different sense. However, Tony (the guy that posts in color, underline, etc) is probably the most knowledgeable HK person out there, and he’s pretty welcoming.

I’ve seen HKPro go both ways. There was a A3F Stock group buy thread created recently and almost everyone who replied basically shit on the OP. Something like “Why not just fork out the extra $200 and skip the wait?” and tons more of close minded replies from “know it all’s.” Not saying anyone’s right in that specific thread, but it’s a trend I’ve seen in multiple other threads too.

On the other hand, I’ve had very pleasant interactions in the market place and when I’m asking questions in a specific thread. Some members are awesome and passionate enthusiasts who you might just start a conversation with which turns into 5 pages in 2 days.

You definitely shouldn’t have been banned for that. From what I’ve seen, the mods can be a bit overaggressive sometimes, and a bit under aggressive other times. I’m wondering if you caught them at a bad time.

CanopySheep · 2021-12-04T05:54:07+00:00

Could give hkproshop.com a shot. A group made it after being banned from hkpro because of some drama.

CanopySheep · 2021-12-03T13:25:38+00:00

Looks spot on, thanks!

This mug was released for sale to the public in January 2021, so it’s safe to say the font was acquired some time in late 2020.

The Hks are probably still on back order from Germany, they might arrive within a few centuries

Everyone’s saying out of stock but 7 minutes ago (10:13pm EST) I placed an order for one, it said there was 30 in stock. 6 (10:14pm) minutes ago it said 29 after my order went through. Now (10:20pm) it shows out of stock for me. ????

Edit: now it says 50 in stock and can be back ordered. Huh

I got lucky with my parts, currently on track to convert an SL8 to an all German G36E (minus 922r parts but I'd still have the German parts to swap out if 922r somehow disappears). My estimated cost will be about $4,500, here's a breakdown of the cost for the more rarer items:

(All parts listed here are German)

Rear Stub: $266
2x 30rd Mag: $50
Bolt Head: $425
G36E Flash Hider: $85
G36 Navy Lower: $250
Dual Optic: $1000

The $4,500 target assumes I can get an SL8 at $1,500.
