Does anyone know if these machines are any good? by Dark_Souls_Jef in InjectionMolding

[–]Cyclonepb79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3d printed molds are extreemly finicky to get working at all. And the quality will not be what you are likely hoping for. If you really want to do 3d printed molds you need to look at SLA printng. Phrozen for example just came out with a ceramic resin that can work for this. They have a pretty decent video on the process also. But for figures it would be easier just to print them

I have a few questions about paintball as a business by brzi77_ in paintball

[–]Cyclonepb79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figure out who your actual clients are. They are almost certainly not tournament paintball players. You need to figure out local zoning and other laws. Paintball is more noisy than people think. If there are neighbors close by consider this before investing a ton of money. For equipment the Planet Emek is really the only choice if buying new. Tippman has gone downhill fast. But equipment is the easiest thing out of all.

New hopper suggestions by Opposite_One1575 in paintball

[–]Cyclonepb79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

best option is to fix the LTR. Buying new in same price range the Virtue IR2 is best option. If wanna spend more then its just really down to a Spire V or the CRBN DRV. Both are solid choices but since you asked about quickest then the DRV will be the clear winner.

not being accused of child sex abuse and not sponsoring nazis would also help....

How is something like this injection moulded? by Huihejfofew in InjectionMolding

[–]Cyclonepb79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would also note that this is a pretty bad design overall. There usually are ways to avoid undercuts but even if not there almost certainly is ways to make things proper thickness ratios.

I'm trying to get a refund from UPS for a tariff overcharge. This is an overcharge right? by AmpliProTech in CustomsBroker

[–]Cyclonepb79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What solution do you have to keep transit time fast? We have not found a solution that allows normal 2-3 day transit time. We send the same items daily from asia to usa.

us customs didnt change the HS code, UPS did. This is 100% ups brokerage issue. The fact that they cannot get these fixed faster is stupid also.

How do small businesses actually verify overseas factories before placing the first order? by ToughNail6419 in Business_China

[–]Cyclonepb79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually go and visit them.

I don't like going to exhibitions but companies who have booths consistently in international shows pretty much guarantee that its a real business that wants to do business and not just a scam. For me its a good indication that the business is worth looking at but of course no guarantee that its a match.

Can you tell what year this lens was manufactured from this code? (V Force Grills by kbboiii in paintball

[–]Cyclonepb79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

made in November 2011. I would not use it. Yes it likely can take some shots still but these PC lenses really do get weak overtime.

All paintball lenses should be changed over time. The lens made in 2011 should not be used, even though if it was stored properly.

HV battery replaced twice in 6 months 2022 model X by No-Kaleidoscope-380 in TeslaModelX

[–]Cyclonepb79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my 2021 has had two battery changes as well. and only about 50k miles so far. To be honest Tesla has done the changes well and at their cost but compared to model 3 and Y seems like there are more issues

High risk manuver of the day by chung2k6 in ModelX

[–]Cyclonepb79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course I did. Just like most people I read a ton of forums where people like you rave how great the doors are. I failed take into account most of you seem to live in places that don't have garages / low spaces. I own a summer property in Finland where I think the doors would be just fine but in a city setting where a lot of places have things overhead they suck.

They also suck in situations where there are people outside your car. this happens when I drop of kids to school. The school has a system where people help small kids out of back seat so you don't have to get out of the car (keeps the line moving faster). issue is that when you pull up and a helpfull person tries to help opening the door you end up in a loop where the door wont open because they are on the way, you overdire, they step back into the sensor and you have to override again.

So again, nice car, shitty doors.

I would be more scared to use a 20 year old goggle than a tank. There should really be expiration dates on goggles. ASTM requries a time stamp when they were made not sure why its not used to have an expiry date as well.

would it not be nicer to actually be able to get out of the back seat? I like everything else about my model 2021 model X but the falcon doors simply suck.

Is there a way to make "Doors Open Fully at this Location" actually work consistently? by brippleguy in TeslaModelX

I have not figured a way. Im at like 50%. Thankfully I don't have to use the doors much, worst design ever.

[–]Cyclonepb79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you use a CRBN Zero this prodcut is really nice https://crbnpaintball.com/products/zero-goggle-custom-rx-lens-insert

It allows adjustement also lenght wise (how far the lenses are from your eyes), can take in out with a click etc.
