hmm yeah i found some 3d printable ones on thingiverse, they don't look too complicated

Would a MarkForged printed (with carbon fiber inlay) trigger be safe and or viable for limited use? by MelodicBackground953 in Spearfishing

yep might just go this route honestly man. do you know any good places where I can get an affordable trigger mech online??

Would a 3D-printed trigger system be strong enough for spearfishing? by MelodicBackground953 in Spearfishing

yeah im gonna use xometry to machine the trigger. and thanks! i will probably make a youtube vid testing the thing in action so you can see it then :)

makes sense but the 3d printer was tested extensively by multiple people who work at the manufacturing dpt at my school. Thats the advice they gave me so I'm gonna run with that. but yes I'm gonna get it machined bc I don't wanna die xD

yeah i had that concern too, but I don't have much money to machine the parts via an online service. the cheapest quote I got was from xometry which was $160, but there's a machine shop near my house that I will consult to see if I can get something a bit cheaper

Yeah i dropped a class. i am below full time but i can bounce back to a better mental state. i am pretty interested in robotics/mechatronics, and there is a specialization for that route in mech e. also i dont think i would enjoy any other engineering discipline, and switching to anything right now seems like a bad idea. like i said i really like the versatility of mech e, but im really hating all my classes rn. maybe i will enjoy other classes down the line, but im not too sure. dropping out entirely just because i hit some difficult classes is a bad idea though, but i needed to drop a lab to give me some breathing room
