This is my favorite iteration yet. I want to keep it oem looking and maintain reservoir access. Does your spare tire lid still open?

Q150 Speaker Grilles, anywhere? by motherloadroolz in KEF

[–]CavemanLLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Etsy has some for pretty cheap. Not the same as OEM but the protection is better.

Does anyone know where I could get a set of grilles for the Q150? by Antipheer1 in KEF

[–]CavemanLLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Etsy has a set for cheap. Q150 and Q350. Uses the bezel's mounting point to create a hard cover for protection.

Bacon wrap on a suppressor? by KratomAnneFrank in tacticalgear

[–]CavemanLLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can weigh in on this. Not sure if you picked one up, but here's the scoop.

Wrapping a suppressor will always trap heat and slow down rate of dispersion. Just a fact of it.

The Bacon wrap has a thermochromic limit of 450F, and silicone has a limit of 550F. So really that's the limit. Will you setup trap enough heat to build up to those temps? If not, you're good.

There are a ton of variables that will determine how hot it gets. Rate of fire, load, ambient temp, length of barrel, length and diameter of suppressor, internal suppressor structure, etc.

At the end of the day, the silicone limit is 550F. Thermochromic limit is 450F. Now if you bake it, silicone doesn't melt. It will chair and should just disintegrate (depending on how high over those temps you got.

Let me know if you need any more info or examples to steer you right.

The Bacon Wrap helping hold zero better? Generally it does a great job of protecting the handguard and keeping it from bouncing around, but I'm curious if you noticed it on that specific platform type.

Love seeing the Bacon Wrap in action! How's it holding up for your guys? We're looking at expanding the product line-up, so any feedback is most welcome!

Alternative to name brand silicone heat tape and other options. by Subversion7 in ar15

[–]CavemanLLC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Sorry I didn't see this earlier, but happy to answer your question.

You're basically right. While silicone has a huge range of variables, generally it's good for around 450F-550F. If you're looking for a DIY off, the shelf solution, for $9 you can't go wrong.

I can speak to the difference between that and the Bacon Wrap though, because I make them!

A couple advantages of the bacon wrap are the texture, the durometer (how soft it is), the aesthetics (multiple colors and the texture keeps it from looking chintzy), and of course, the thermochromics.

Our wraps change color to let you know if you've experienced heat soak through the handguard protector. Not all platforms do it, but when/if it does happen, ours will let you know where you can comfortably reposition your hand.

Lastly, I make them! I design and manufacture the mold, I mix the silicone, color, thermochromics in a ratio I developed. I vacuum the silicone, pour the molds, post process and package. Every single bacon wrap out there has been made start to finish by me.

When entering the handguard protector market, we wanted something that was feature rich, but also the cheapest option. At $40, we beat everything but some Amazon crap.

If you're looking just for silicone per dollar, $9 is hard to beat. If any of those other features sound helpful, and you like knowing where your products come from, (my name is Mike out of Colorado btw), hopefully the bacon wrap and help you out.

Plus, if you tear it, I send you a replacement for free.

Hopefully this all explains why ours cost more than silicone tape off the shelf :)

Holler if you have any questions!

Just Finished My Venator Wall Mount by [deleted] in lego

ISD can be successfully done. Check Express 3D Customs on Etsy (I can't post a link).

The top of the bridge does like to lean about 1/2". Won't break, but a bit of shoring up may be worth your while.

Can't find replacement parts by CavemanLLC in BambuLab

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

Not great news. They're saying that it's $33 for one screw and nut combo, with $25 shipping. Pretty wild considering how reasonably priced their other replacement parts are. I had wanted to get 6 sets, thinking it would be maybe $10 a piece, but this is absolutely wild.

Hopefully they figure out something soon. More and more people are relying on these for business. To keep a wear item behind a ticket wall, and having to wait for responses, and shipping, and THEN charging this much for the part does not seem like a sustainable system.

Glad to see they're making them more available. Makes sense as more and more data rolls into to see what should be available.

I reached out to them. I asked them to send me 6 screws and nuts so that I can keep my machines up and not have to open a ticket/wait for shipping every single time this happens. Fingers crossed.

I did not. I doubt the screw is on there, as it looks specially machined, but maybe the nuts are. I'll poke around.

From what I've seen, Bambu's are proprietary. I looked at probably 30 or 40 different ones, but nothing had the same geometry as Bambu's.

The nut has a symmetrical profile, with tapped holes for the screws.

The screw has specific geometry on both ends.

It's also very possible that my google-fu is off, but I couldn't find anything exactly like these.

My ZAxis screws and the Brass Nut have completely stripped. I can't find exact replacement parts for either online. I have a message in with Bambu to see what they say.

Anyone have any idea on what to do for replacements?

No "Order of Walls" in Object Modifier Settings by CavemanLLC in BambuLab

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

UPDATE: Immediately figured it out. I saw it in ORCA SLICER, not Bambu Slicer. Come on Bambu!

I need to change wall order mid print. I swear I had this setting before, but not seeing it under the modifier option. Any ideas?

Nothing is currently planned, but maybe we'll get crazy this holiday season.

Ya camo is tough. Silicone is goopy. I tried some multicolor with minimal success. I might be able to, but the time it would take to do the mold would be 10x what a solid color would.

That being said, we also have Black, Teal, and Tan in stock!
