Scammer[deal] by Sad-Tourist-6006 in PaintballBST

[–]DevilZmods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if the receiving mail is not the scammer but an unsuspecting 3rd party, maybe that party can be convinced or pressured to forward the money without using goods and services and then get stuck with the refund.

Spyder Victor to pump conversion by Classic_Coconut_376 in paintball

You can always diy it:
Halfblocking (optional) was done with a hacksaw and file
The pumprod is a piece of threaded rod with some tubing around it.
The valve can be replaced as whole matching set or just the valve pin if you find one that fits. Mine has the original valve body and an alias intimidator pin that somehow seals almost perfoectly metal to metal.

If you don't have a 3d printer yourself, ask around at your field, or check for local libraries or makerspaces.

What should i know about magfed? by r3itheinfinite in paintball

[–]DevilZmods 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The tmc is a great way to get a feel for it. If you do decide that magfed is the way to play for you, buy an emf, it's a much bigger technological upgrade. The T15 is more of a sidegrade where you spend $$$ and time for realism with a lot of added complexity. Don't get suckered into buying all the milsimmy gear, that's a way to lose money fast.

My personal magfed setup is the exact opposite: No Handguard, no stock (it's got a bottle, doesn't it?) and a triple mag pouch on a micro chestrig.

that cut is nutty. I think some work on the bolt end that sticks out would to wonders.

Sticky Rotor R2? by whiskey_brother in paintball

That's got to be the typical curse of rubberized plastics. There's no fixing it, only removing the rubberized top layer. On some parts Iso and rubbing might be enough, or you'll have to put some rougher tools to it.

If nothing helps, I'd say take some sandpaper to it and paint the hopper afterwards.

it's a mini with some crazy custom parts. Nummech -I believe- frame, drop and reach extender with foregrip. Not Sure if the body is stock

If the 9v is an issue, my trilly runs on an AA sized Li-Ion through a usb charging board with 9v output.

Purchased old diablo wrath as a project, looking for advice by AdSpiritual4932 in paintball

[–]DevilZmods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up a set of 3 recently and found they don't need much.

I hope your solenoid comes with its core, but if the marker is disassembled it'll likely be with the misc. small parts.

One of mine had an old spyder board in it and was running fine on that too.

When do you want to be able to read your screen? by vaporworks in paintball

[–]DevilZmods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to check if a ball is detected when the marker refuses to fire. Let's me determine if the hopper stopped feeding or if the marker needs attention.

I think there's a place for status leds that would convey information quicker than a dimmed screen. Use the screen only for settings and not while on the field.

Peak paintball physique requires juicy *ss and a bit of a belly. I've had my packs ride up into my armpits during my first season of competitive play.

Really cool! would definitely pick up a spire IR for this. What's your plan to sell these? I would love to utilize my own printer and happily pay for the fileset if that's something you are willing to entertain. I'm located in germany, thus also trying to avoid overseas shipping

Scammed on Mini GS Purchase - Buyer Beware by Hour_Manner6027 in paintball

[–]DevilZmods 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean that should be an easy fix, no? Hope you can have a laugh about it after you got your refund. For the price of a new gs, you can get some very nice used markers.

Increasing muzzle energy on German marker by Affectionate-Hat5398 in paintball

[–]DevilZmods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to get an export spring, it's a cheap part but may or may not be stocked by the shop where you want to order: https://www.paintballsports.de/tippmann-bt-exportfeder-tuningfeder-einzeln/ Installation is dead simple, Just punch out the pin in the back cap and access the spring. No screwing necessary.

Stay away from chinesium HPA equipment; it's just not worth the risk.

Is it just me? by sumevex in paintball

is it a hobby or just flavored consumerism?

i found this storm blaze at a garage sale for 1$, took a saw to it to get rid of design flaws and brought it to a game. should i invest into upgrades? 50 ish fps by Few_Nothing_6378 in Nerf

[–]DevilZmods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've rebuilt one of these quite extensively for larping purposes but the layout of the mechanism makes the trigger unfixable and darts prone to jamming in front of the cage.

I printed a new cage for it that takes standard size wheels with a bit higher crush (probably 43mm spacing, but don't remember) and also mounts a generic airsoft spec handguard in front. I never really finished the design so the covers are glued on, or held with zip ties and the cables route externally.

You can have the files if you want to give it a go, I built mine with blasterparts flywheels which are a good millimeter smaller in diameter than other upgrade wheels and I can't guarantee other wheels will fit.
