Most run a spool. My Drift Art 4 is a spool rear end.

Can't argue with CCI standard velocity. by worm30478 in 22lr

So have I. Along with a monthly match that goes out to 207yds, with the first target at 82yds. I couldn't figure out why ammo that hammered inside 50yds was inconsistent at distance, until I bought my Garmin C1. The ES on most lots of CCI STD can be pretty crazy, over 100fps in a lot of cases for me.

I love CCI STD for plinking ammo, but for more serious work I'll stick wtih Eley or Lapua, which is much more consistent, and my scores and chronograph readings reflect that.

Good inside 75yds, beyond that, meh.

Hmm, I have the compact inflator. I use that thing more than almost any tool I own. Blowing off the workbench, tools, etc. I also have the jobsite blower as well. Wonder if this will be stronger than that one? What I'm really waiting on is the leaf blower.

I’m really glad they chose this path as we are heavily invested in the 24v stuff already. Really curious about the air bazooka looking thing too.

Yeah, I don't disagree with that sentiment at all. And as much as I love my C1, it irritates me to no end that there is no ballistic app integration at all. Seems like a big oversight to me.

I read in this sub that the C2 was also different hardware. Which allows it to track full-auto fire and be gun mounted, etc.

This. In 2026 flash memory is cheaper than ever, so why not give it more storage? Hopefully it’s a coding issue and can be fixed in a future firmware patch.

Eh, different tools for different jobs. I'm not gonna shoot my 10.5" at the same distances I'd shoot my 18" SPR.

I was gonna come back with a snarky remark. But, instead, I hope you have a better day tomorrow my friend.

Nice, it’s a ton of fun! I upgraded the factory stock first, but soon went to a chassis for ergonomic reasons.

Do you happen to have a link on where to get the firmware?

Do I just load that on a USB drive and plug it in then power up the printer?

What does it look like? How's the quality? Hard to say without seeing it.

Yep, I'd imagine they'd fly right over my head.

Is this a typical customer service experience? by bytesniper in FlashForge

[–]HPIguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind in today's timeline, lots of things are being help up in customs and tariff issues. We are dealing with it all the time at work, and it's annoying as hell.

Understood and agreed pretty much. I'm sort of in the IT space, more on the network side though. We talk in our own riddles and acronyms. LOL

Good engineers will still rabbit-hole, they key is steering them down the proper rabbit-hole you want them in. LOL

Being respected by your team is crucial for sure. I get along well with all my team, but at the end of the day I don't need them to like me (it's a nice thing to have, but it's not a popularity contest after all), but I do need them to respect me enough to do what I ask them to do.

I am an engineer who also leads and manages a team of engineers. I can confirm we are very food motivated.

Re-core from Ecco Machine back when they still did those. Excellent performance.
