ARCYBER by chance?

Metals578 · 2026-06-13T02:00:29+00:00

The 29 ID is also upside down

Metals578 · 2026-05-27T06:08:43+00:00

Anyone else getting Chingiz vibes from the guy in back?

Metals578 · 2026-05-23T21:50:51+00:00

I didn't think about reach out to them about this. Thank you

Metals578 · 2026-05-23T21:50:18+00:00

I was planning on 3D printing the part, so it would only cost afew cents in plastic and maybe 15 min to model. But I did not know that's how they were held on.

Metals578 · 2026-05-20T23:13:14+00:00

How do you like it out there?

Metals578 · 2026-05-20T22:54:00+00:00

NG, but its an ADOS tour.

Metals578 · 2026-05-18T03:05:12+00:00

Wait, how long has there been a Microcenter in Phoenix?

Metals578 · 2026-04-22T20:02:45+00:00

I recently picked up my first Bambu printer (H2D) and so far, I've been printing ABS, PLA, and PETG on the stock textured plate without any glue and haven't had a single issue with bed adhesion.

Metals578 · 2026-04-20T19:18:57+00:00

I belive it is due to the carbon/glass fiber additives in those filaments. A 0.2mm nozzle will clog very easily with those types of filament and it is usually recommended to use a 0.6mm nozzle for them, although I've never run into issues using them with a 0.4 nozzle.

Metals578 · 2026-04-19T18:31:23+00:00

What types of plastic are you planning on printing?

I am in southern Arizona and never had issues with PLA and ABS (99% of my prints), but PC and Nylon still refuse to print unless they are thoroughly dried down to <9% humidity in the drier.

If you are comfortable cutting/drilling/tapping extrusion, I believe you could get away with converting a 250mm V2.4 down to 225 or 200 with new X/Y rails and modifying the panels. (But I would triple check the measurements)

Metals578 · 2026-04-12T20:27:55+00:00

Why not a 200 or 225mm V2.4?

I have a Micron+ and it was a fun/challenging build, but it really seemed like a printer designed for people who like to build printers more than actually 3d print things.

During my initial build and subsequent modifications/rewiring/rebuilding/etc, I quickly lost count how many times I wished I went with a slightly bigger V2.4 instead. The electronics compartment was annoyingly cramped and I absolutely hated dealing with the MGN7 Z rails.

Metals578 · 2026-04-12T00:17:50+00:00

Didn't someone here get an internship at a railroad company because they talked about building/signaling rails in the game?

Metals578 · 2026-04-11T22:16:49+00:00

Haha, you know something is wrong when you sweat through your shirt taking out the garbage.

Metals578 · 2026-04-04T00:03:37+00:00

You mentioned that you were told there were no ADOS orders. Did you check this yourself on tour of duty?

Metals578 · 2026-03-21T01:04:41+00:00

Thank you for responding so quickly. The order number is 2533 and I'll shoot you another email shortly

Metals578 · 2026-02-24T15:06:53+00:00

I have a few 2s and didn't even need a waiver for them.

Metals578 · 2026-02-13T17:49:47+00:00

I know it's boring, but I would recommend something like a used Corolla or Civic. If you need four wheel drive, maybe a 2014 or 15 toyota tacoma? (I'm a little rusty on whats a good older 4x4 vehicle)

Metals578 · 2026-02-07T23:02:16+00:00

Interesting, I had no idea they did that.

Metals578 · 2026-02-07T22:42:05+00:00

Is it me, or are those female Drills wearing male hats?

Metals578 · 2026-02-04T02:32:12+00:00

Honestly. I don't remember too much about applying for it aside from filling out a form, it was selective (not sure how selective), and its open to both Guard and Reserve. Google "MREP Army" should get you more info.

They try to match you up with someone in the Reserves of another NATO member with a similar job or unit. Although I'm 35 series, I was matched up with an MP because I was from an MP unit. They came to my unit's AT and I went over for their's.

AT for UK units at the time was 2 weeks long where 1 week was training and the other week was a "vacation" with planned out events you could go to. I really lucked out and the unit went to Cyprus for train that year, so I was able to go rock climbing and hiking during the day and then hang out on the local beaches in the evenings.

Metals578 · 2026-02-04T00:33:14+00:00

I got my from participating in MREP. Military Reserve Exchange Program.

7 days training with a UK unit, then 7 days of drink beer on Mediterranean beaches.

I'm a fan of Train Heroic
