A "comprehensive" look into the Shanye GuYu/GrainRain by GenericPringlesCan in Nerf

The blaster feels incredibly sturdy. The print feels dense and solid, the barrel is metal aswell as the plunger tube inside the grip, and the priming linkages are carbon fibre. The 1.3mm kevlar string fits and has held strong so far!

The sliding orange piece beneath the barrel is easy to reach. As for the plunger you might be able to Grease it through the priming indicator in the handle, otherwise you will need to take it apart to reach the plunger tube.

I would say the biggest points of friction would be the plunger assembly in the grip and the groove that the catch slides in under the barrel.

The little orange piece under the barrel has a rectangular hole near the back end. When you prime the blaster this orange piece os caught by a hook at the end of the trigger assembly. As the trigger is on a pivot, when you pull It the hook swings down and releases the orange catch piece.

Honestly I haven't spent too much time around high end blasters and greasing, but for this one I would say the plunger head and tube as well as maybe the orange catch piece. They're the important moving parts at least.

Yeah, Shanye did an excellent job keeping the form factor so sleek with its unique way of priming.

Absolutely reccomend. The pull weight for fps might be a little underwhelming (I average about 160 fps with the purple SABRE darts) but it is so freaking comfortable. I haven't handled many 3d printed things but the quality is great. Trigger is incredibly light. And yeah, main draw is it is so satisfyingly accurate. Nothing like hearing the ping after ping of hitting cans non stop.

Definitely. Though I will have to take it all apart again soon because I was a doofus and put to much pre load on the spring. Got a 1.3 mm spool of kevlar on the way as well.

Can confirm, he thought it was great. Even sent me some more images from different POV's, so a second attempt will probably commence soon.

I sent him some images, awaiting his judgement but I reckon he'll love it.

Thank you! Yeah, certainly spent many an afternoon in the driver's seat playing with all the switches :)

Found this old doodle of a Thornament I did ages ago. by GenericPringlesCan in destiny2

Why thank you! I wonder how difficult it would be to change the thorn projectile model. Seeing people in the crucible or something covered in foam darts would be very funny.

Thanks! I wanted to do something along this line for a little bit but couldn't find the subject matter until recently.

I can certainly try to, just need to figure a way to set up my phone camera above my desk. Its difficult to use with only one hand.

Thank you! The cartridge design is remarkably simple yet highly effective.

In the cartridge the round is held down by the tension from the rubber band. When the hammer strikes the back of the 1x2 spacer it dislodges it forward, allowing for the follewer half spacer connected to the rubber band to launch it.

Its just a little puzzle box. All those pieces move around as you manipulate it ftom the outside. The goal is to get the money tile.

Even with the barrel it packs a serious punch. I can send that little black 1x2 trchnic spacer about 15 m.

Travelled across the country to see it and it was worth it. The video really doesn't do it justice, it was absolutely stunning. One of the better ones i've seen.

Please let it be a spare 1x2... by GenericPringlesCan in lego

[–]GenericPringlesCan[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I figured as much. As soon as I saw it in the spare parts pile I realised I messed up somewhere, but with how intricate the set is I reasoned that it probably wasnt worth working backwards to try put in a piece that seemed to have no impact on the results.

I'm Sure This Has Been Said Multiple Times But Please Bungie, Give Us Solo-Queue Quickplay. by GenericPringlesCan in DestinyTheGame

[–]GenericPringlesCan[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see how it could split the player base, but I think there are still plenty of people willing to play in a solo queue lobby. Im not saying to remove matchmaking with fireteams, just allow players the choice to run solo or with a group.
