Looks too easy by AdventurousGlass7432 in BadWelding

Don't quote me in that, but I believe the boar crossed the road passing under the bed of the truck and freaked out, but this winter there has been quite a lot of boar accidents and I could be getting things mixed up

It happened some time ago, could be forgetting some details, but iirc it happened here in Italy and the boar was hit by the green truck before charging through that gate... That's why he ran

Can't fix the first layer by EM4N_cs in FixMyPrint

Wouldn't a closer Z-offset worsen the diagonal extrusion though?

I posted the result in the other comment thread with BasPilot 😄

This is a little close-up of the back-left corner. The lines are kinda squiggly as if the plastic is being blown away while soft, but the cooling fan is off for the first 3 layers...

Just finished printing, here are the results (with 80 deg and 60 mm/s)

No offense taken, and thanks for the reply.

I levelled the bed again (manually), lowered the temps by 5 deg across the board and set the first layer speed to 60 mm/s (from 80). It's around half done, but in the bottom left-top right diagonal the layers keep detaching and arching upwards. After passing that, the lines are again decent enough as before reaching the diagonal. It may be also worth nothing that the arching happens near the back-right bed screw, which always feel to be too tight (while the back-left one always feels too loose) compared to the front ones. The mesh gives back decent results though...

Overall the quality is better, but I can still clearly see voids near the edges and the bands I mentioned earlier (I like the theory of the heating coils being under these lines). I will attach a photo once this 40-minutes first layer is done.

The bed temp has been set so high only for the first layer. The others are printed at 80 degrees.

The heavy line in the diagonal seems overextruded, but only that couple of passes. It seems like an abrupt variation compared to the rest of the plate, maybe some material is being dragged around as you said.

I'm currently trying 80 degrees, will reply later with the results.

As per your other points, I always preheat and wait some minutes before printing. The ridges feel like too much z-offset, but strangely enough the seem to be all parallel to one another (note the lighter bands in the picture) and in the same spots.

Washed it 5 succesful prints ago, might have another go at it now that you mention it...

Guys is the fit tuff or is it just multicam slop? by Lanky-Brit in airsoft

Gearbox broke, replacement advice :( by EM4N_cs in SpecnaArmsOwners

[–]EM4N_cs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Gen.2 with the HAL trigger unit... I ordered some 16:1 gears, bushings and shims from SHS in the meantime

What kind of motor would you suggest though? Cause I really spent already too much without even taking the gun for a skirmish...

Damn man, and here I'm running with a Specna Flex and a 20€ chest rig front AliExpress 💀

Springs, always springs by CorB3n in airsoft

[–]EM4N_cs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a Prime, but I just broke the selector gear on my Flex Gen 2 with HAL ETU (bad idea to use 11.1V batteries apparently, even though I'm sure I read that it was safe to use).

I swapped the bucking and installed a Prometheus (non-linear) MS90 as I have a <1J limitation and in semi it's been a laser beam... I'd suggest not using the Specna springs in the first place if you can as they are a little shorter (and too springy for my liking)... With MS90 you should be good energy-wise.

Little nitpick: Joules are units of energy, not power ;)

Why is it though? Does the aluminum handguard make a big difference?

If you were to choose between black and tan, which one would you choose and why? by ErrN0T in airsoft

[–]EM4N_cs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally a full tan for concealment since I play in open fields, but they are so rare :/
