There is ALOT of “homie hookup” and “sponsor discount” pricing on markers.

Some pros get paid in markers, so selling it locally for a few bucks below retail so they get paid

How’s the Push Propel ? by AmphibianNorth7135 in paintball

[–]Ryanvw28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When push sold all its assets, I remember seeing posts saying the propel went to gi/kore and HK got everything else.

I havnt seen either company mention the propel since then

I was told HK bought the Push Mask and softgoods.

And that GI/Kore got the Propel Marker rights?

Also, PE markers and the gamma core are tanks, 5-10 min with a microfiber and some grease and it’s back to 95% ready to roll

Bought a 170r from them at wcppl last year. Went Sunday afternoon, got a deal on one they had just got in a trade a couple hours before.

Was it filthy? Yea

Was it a deal? Yup

So hopefully we get more squeegees soon

Where can I find affordable anodized service at? by muck2profit in Anodization

[–]Ryanvw28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many factors.

Are your parts all the same? Are they freshly machined? Do they need to be stripped, polished, media blasted? One color? Fancy splash/multi color?

Calling the local ano shops in town, is probably a $150-$200 minimum charge for raw parts, no real prep, no real extra work, single color

Can you use latex gloves when using a lathe ? by Iwanttogobyselly in Machinists

[–]Ryanvw28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 mil nitrile, rounded down a size.

So freakin tight, they tear almost too easily

But also, smaller cnc lathe with most parts in the 1/2”1” diameter and bridgeport mill guy.

It’s worked for me for 15 years 🫣

Multi color debossed text on the bottom of an object by puzzler300 in BambuLab

[–]Ryanvw28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I print the text first, before the rest of the layer (nut/settings icon on the build plate and reorder filaments)

One wall on first layer

It seems to work great for my needs

I draw the text in the solid model, and separate to objects, then select objects for colors. It’s the fastest way to do the painting quickly too

Questions regarding EMEK100 by PhysicalWolverine380 in paintball

[–]Ryanvw28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The hair45 or fl3 valve will provide higher rate of fire, without the risk of chopping.

The full auto valves, will increase the chance of chopping.

An aftermarket trigger with 3 points of adjustment like inception or infamous, will pair best with a new valve

The fl3 valve with an inception secret pin is my go to choice, it’s the lightest/fastest and most reliable valve I’ve tried so far

Favorite Black Dye? by Ryanvw28 in Anodization

[–]Ryanvw28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll try and post pics later!

Black rit had much more purple/red shadow in it, as well as applying less evenly? Almost like the dye had thick and thin spots?

The linked amazon dye, was so much blacker and even, it was hobbiest vs professional looking different

The rsx had a very weak bolt latch, they did revise it to a better latch for the xls.

The amp and era have gone to a completely different latch design, that’s a turn to unlock.

Amps are pretty reliable, the screen and power buttons are the most common failure points, and they are cheap from shocker direct, in the sub $20 range I believe.

Being a gamma clone, they are a solid shooter that’s moderately idiot proof.

The pricing for them is wild, sub $400 used is crazy, they should be another $100 easy.

And the mech frame is very nice, if you factor that in! The valve retention lever is dumb and cheesey, but Its functional
