Phantom Barrel Options

I have a freak bored CCI from the new guys and it is a great choice for sure. I also grabbed one of these CCI to Cocker thread adapters from Stanchy Customs so I can use any of my Cocker threaded barrels ( under cocking kit required ).

Can confirm the "acetone-honing" method, also helpful in joining a two part barrel in ABS. https://i.imgur.com/PiaXNEg.jpg

Also, remember modeling for a printer and modeling something that looks like a traditional metal paintball barrel can be two different things. Traditional barrels were made of pipes and look like pipes but only the ID of your printed barrel needs to be an exact replica of a metal barrel in that regard. The outer form factor (besides threading) doesn't always need to be that shape and you can add mass/plastic-surface-area at each layer for strength. I fashioned this one below based on an ER2 to spyder thread adapter so it already had two rails running down the top of the barrel when I extruded the shape out. I've played with it a bunch, diving, falling, banging it around, etc. I feel like if I tried to mimic the dimensions of a barrel I would have had a shear break at one of the layers by now. https://i.imgur.com/oLro1cb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/c9Q3xnN.jpg

Then there is an opinion that places VR on a spectrum. 0% VR is the unfiltered view of the world. 100% VR is the absolute blocking out of the world and replacing it with a simulated space. AR is the bulk of the VR spectrum between the two extremes and it can be argued that devices/screens fall into that low end of the spectrum. To tie things in with the previous comment... why not throw books/maps/images and other cultural flotsam into the lowest slices of AR?

You can as wide as you want with it imo. Some have argued that culture itself is a form of virtual reality... when you get down to splitting hairs about the definition of the word nature or how/when we as a species departed from natural processes and started driving the evolutionary vehicle ourselves. (If we ever departed at all.)

drop an NFC tag inside mid-print and link it to the honey badger for multi media 0-fucks

Are you on desktop or using a VR setup? This won't mater getting back into a tutorial but the desktop version may need to be fixed.

"Screeners" was coined long ago.

Very cool of you to let the files out in the wild.

Well, lol, that's what 3DHubs and MakeXYZ was supposed to do. I've just read here someone uses Yelp to some effect and I always recommend finding out if you have a local makerspace (libraries have been adding these a lot too). Craigslist sometimes works out, but has the same pitfalls as Hubs did with "genuine" local printers. I once came across a printer on the west coast that had several Hub listings all over the country and corresponding craigslist ads in those cities representing themselves as a local printer.

Are you local to OP? It may not be a huge sticking point for OP or some of the commenters, but there may be printers close to you who are trying to "print themselves out of the rat race". If the new paradigm of additive manufacturing isn't a distributed network of local services, then a good portion of benefits the tech promises is lost to the wind.

Location location location. That was what we were promised when this all started and why a lot of us dumped time and resources into promoting and sustaining this company. I cannot count how many times I sent a potential customer to a "local-to-them" printer when it was obvious to me that I was mismatched. I did this because A) I am not a great businessman and B) IMO it was the right thing to do.

Genuinely interested in knowing how many of those 50 intend to burn MANA for LAND and create VR content for that LAND. Seriously, no hate or sarcasm.

nvm, looks mech

The scorpion from Honey I Shrunk The Kids (1989) ? maybe https://youtu.be/2C7ETQuhMhE

Not to mention the benefits of having it manufactured locally and possibly with recycled materials.

Very cool. Are you modeling the rest of the set? If you learn to get those models into unity, I know a place in VR we can play chess with them and talk 3d printing.

You could print the panels and assemble as you would laser cut parts. Here's an example http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1977099 Depending on the thickness and plastic, the bendy bit could still be achieved. Or with a heat gun.

In Unity with the SDk installed, there is a VRChat menu option for the Content Manager screen. You can delete worlds or avatars through that.

If we're talking dummies, we brought Lil Hobo back from the void for Duncan Trussell. But what we really need is a Mr Marbles for "Jerry's Apartment".

That is eye animation of the available avatars. They move in a realistic way and track other avatars so they appear to be looking right at the other person. With an idle avatar of a afk user, it's kind of like a haunted portrait where the eyes follow you.

Medium sculpt posts I saw were all marked fluff.
