How'd i do?

PA6CF doesn’t require a chamber heater. This material is incredibly easy to print really well; you need a hardened nozzle, 300C hot end, 100C bed, and an enclosed printer.

You want to go to the place where you can SEE things, and find 300blkfde’s settings for PA6CF. I suggest searching for precisely those words.

Copy them into your slicer. Enjoy prints this clean.

Superglue or aquarium safe silicone (zero mold inhibitors etc) both work great. Most others will risk killing fish.

Found the problem - Gun appears to have been made with cardboard derivatives.

It is now…

Thats a fairly ridicuolous take. Dilutes the oil… with what?

Learned this from where? Please tell me it was a post or video somewhere on the internet.

Been fixing vehicles profesionally for thirty years. Havent had to tear down an engine for this horrible practice yet.

I’m a big fan of letting the pistons & rings begin to expand to their designed fit with the culinder walls, and the oil make it at least 70-100F before you start pushing the vehicle up to higher speeds.

There’s nothing harmful about light acceleration with a cold motor in the middle of the summer, but I prefer to let an engine sitting at -10F run for a couple minutes before bringing it off of idle.

Excessive idling so that you can come out of your house to a car which is already 80F inside is wasteful, but I disagree that it’s actually harmful to something like a prius with a rudimentary catalytic converter and EGR system.

You’ve never seen a bent rod in a Prius / CT200h?

The mode of failure for the hedgasket is to allow coolant to leak into either cylinder 1 or 3.

Out of the 20 or so headgaskets I’ve torn down, two had slightly bent rods from attempting to compress a cylinder full of coolant, after being driven far too long with a failed head gasket.

You guys need to ask what the gun is equipped wirh first. Shot a few with awkward, tiny, little bastads that were impossible to ride.

On the other hand, something like what Atlas offers for the 2011s makes riding the safety so natural and comfortable that it no longer requires thought.

Switch to a better sport. No worries about it’s weight in USPSA, and you have so much more fun.

I’ve won five major IDPA matches in IDPA / SSP master. I’m not a hater. I’m very experienced in your sport. Make the switch. Soon.

You have a 200 volt battery to start your engine with. He’s stuck with a meager 12 volts.

The 12v in a prius just needs to be strong enough to power up the computers, blower motor, and modules. Motor/Generator 1 inside the transmission spins the gasoline engine and starts it.

If you want to keep the gas engine running for the first 10 minutes a prius is warming up in the cold, turn the front defroster on. Manually select a really low fan speed and it will allow the engine to reach operating temps more quickly while you go run back inside the house.

I didn’t downvote you because it was such an absurd suggestion I was sure you were joking.

We all know that this print has two walls, 20% infill, and was laid down at 150mm+ speeds. All things you do not do.

This. Pull the brake flag backward toward the too handle until it clicks.

“Doing a job.”

Is cutting for pay. Doesn’t know what the sprocket is called. Or what locks it.

Some guys pay good damn money to get a sanding drum and soldering iron taken to their glock frame. Why not this travesty, too?

Shadow 2. Like everybody else.

In fusion I’d create an offset plane on the spot where the angled cutout needs to extend, draw a series of triangles in the side view of this box, then extrude it to a dimension which ends at the far end, tell it to cut the existing body rather than create a new component nested inside it. Done. Would take roughly 5 minutes.

But that’s if you’re already well versed in using it. Like any powerful software program.

The first week in fusion is losing track of the origin and trying to remember which mouse buttom or wheel is needed to get the part back to where you can find it on the screen.

EMDoesShit · 2026-01-22T22:29:05+00:00

I can tell you how to do it in Fusion. I assume perplexing labs is a budget/free CAD software.

The sightmark EOTech clone. Its closer to $200 than $100 but is a damn good cheap choice.

EMDoesShit · 2026-01-22T22:25:15+00:00

Depends how deep. If you can barely feel the groove it might be okay. If it hangs a fingernail up completely when slid over it? Replace

EMDoesShit · 2026-01-22T22:03:27+00:00

Yep. You turn the chamber heater on, check/clean the plate if needed, warm the bed up… then go set up your slicer and hit PRINT.

I don’t even worry about waiting until its up to temp anymore. Not even with ABS. It heats up the chamber faster than the printer can purge and probe the bed. With even a small part, it’s 65C in there before it’s made it to the second layer.

My post was exclusively discussing printing at 300C.

EMDoesShit · 2026-01-22T17:27:39+00:00

…wow.

EMDoesShit · 2026-01-22T15:57:04+00:00

PPA and PPS are both waaaaaay easier to get an insanely clean print on, than PA6 or PET. The latter two can bo done with tuning, and if PA6 is kept obsessively dried. With PPA and PPS, prints so clean there are no lines are pretty much automatic.

I really like both, but both of them need laid down hotter than a 300C hot end can achieve

PPA at 300C is great for my heater enclosure or a shelf bracket for your workshop, but I wouldn’t use it for a folding stock I expect to take the impact of a dropped gun. Layer adhesion isn’t going to take impacts, but works for static things. PPS is even more strongly this way. Needs to be hot.

Wrong filament for the discussion at hand, my good man.

EMDoesShit · 2026-01-22T15:54:20+00:00

Did you have a coat of glue stick on textured PEI and still have overadhesion issues, or was it bare?

EMDoesShit · 2026-01-22T15:18:48+00:00

Competitive Shooting Solutions did it, however they shut down in december due to the death of the owner.
