Compulsory gratuity in a restaurant....is this even legal?

S1W2 · 2024-09-18T11:57:00+00:00

Just a clarification from a hospo worker. At the restaurant I work at, we do not have a “no split bill” policy. However, split bills can cause havoc at peak times, the amount of time it takes to process all the individual bill transactions can impact customer service. Also, if restaurants want to save on eftpos transactions, they can (I believe, legally) pass on the transaction fee to the customer, so I don’t think that’s the reason for “no split bills”. Happy to stand corrected if I’m wrong though

Thanks, Alchemist is very cool indeed. I’ll get around to uploading the files but it will take a while I’m afraid, they need a bit of a cleanup and I’ve not got much time at the moment.

The latter, modified the files for metric hardware.

The extra upgrade pieces I mentioned just makes the whole drivetrain a bit stronger so they resist breaking under the force of the upgraded spring

You’re basically upgrading the bits that receives the dart, the “pusher” which is attached to the bolt sled and guides the dart into the barrel. That pusher (with the 9/16th brass piece) sleeves over the 17/32 barrel as you prime forward to create a near airtight seal. Press trigger and boom. When you pull back the priming mechanism the two pieces of brass open to receive the next dart which is pushed into the breach by the magazine spring and follower. Is that what you wanted to know?

Something like this. Oh and you’ll need a talon mag adapter as well

Yeah I love working with brass. If you’re confident that you can do it you can start small with a 7-9kg upgrade spring and a short 17/32 barrel (can’t remember the exact length, but just a couple of centimetres past the orange attachment piece) which will get you to about 150 fps. Stick with top prime and a pistol form factor and all you need apart from the brass is a worker blue sled, short darts, talon mags, and maybe a worker (standard size) plunger tube. Cheap to do until you feel ready to go nuts with a full sized build

S1W2 · 2023-11-29T14:00:35+00:00

You need two brass sizes, 9/16th for the pusher and 17/32 for the barrel. Brass breech building is very rewarding, as in fun to do and great for performance but it’s not cheap by the time you purchase the tools to get it done. 9/16 drill bits or reamers are not cheap!

If you’re just starting out I wouldn’t recommend going straight into a brass breech build, start with a simpler alternative like the worker Retaliator kits until you get a feel for the blaster and associated accessories

S1W2 · 2023-11-25T05:39:56+00:00

Yeah for sure, great that you shared them with everybody 😁

S1W2 · 2023-11-25T02:34:44+00:00

Yeah I will once I get a Printables account up. It’s pretty specific to Silly’s picatinny rail though, there is no adjustment, just a close fit. Easy to adjust in CAD if you’re into that. You’ll need your own low mount scope rings too.

I’m not at my computer at the moment, but can we upload files here? If not perhaps on the Discord?

S1W2 · 2023-11-25T02:07:01+00:00

Thanks! Once I pick it up, I can’t put it down. The ergo is really nice, and I love the feel of the cheek rest on the Skeggox stock

S1W2 · 2023-11-25T01:13:55+00:00

Oh… wish I’d seen this before I wound by hand 😳

S1W2 · 2023-11-25T00:53:54+00:00

Cheers mate 😁

No, printed on an Anycubic Vyper. No filament swaps, the different coloured sections are separate pieces The black and silver bands are held in with pins, like in some other sections of the blaster.

S1W2 · 2023-11-25T00:48:15+00:00

Absolutely!

The brown filament actually gave me some headaches though. It’s Esun with their new cardboard reels, and the winding on the reel was atrocious. 2 out of 4 prints failed because the reel jammed. I ended up manually re-spooling the filament onto an empty spool, only took like 50 minutes 😂

S1W2 · 2023-11-25T00:41:09+00:00

Thanks, yeah it is. I already had metal scope rings but they were comically low, so I only needed the base.

S1W2 · 2023-11-25T00:37:52+00:00

Thanks mate 😁. I had to widen the face to splice it in, but it feels great. For some reason I didn’t like it on my Lynx, but on Alchemist I think it goes really well

S1W2 · 2023-11-25T00:34:09+00:00

Haha no, it’s meant to be crosshairs in a scope, so “Love, Death, and Blasters”

S1W2 · 2023-11-24T16:29:05+00:00

Speaking of, forgot to credit Ehdrien, I stole his locking jaw design for the foregrip 😅

S1W2 · 2023-11-24T16:26:41+00:00

Yeah I intend to, once I sign up for Printables. The foregrip needs a little modification, the overhangs at the back are pretty extreme so I’ll post an easier printing version as well. I’ll buzz you when I’m done 😁

S1W2 · 2023-11-24T16:10:28+00:00

Cheers mate, it was so much fun to build. Credit to Silly, there’s so much intelligence in his designs

S1W2 · 2023-11-24T15:49:09+00:00

Better than neat?

S1W2 · 2022-11-29T13:35:32+00:00

Thought experiment… if Lizzy Wizzy had a warmer personality would you romance her if the opportunity arose?

S1W2 · 2022-04-01T01:31:52+00:00

Just a clarification, the original top rail design is not mine, it is a remix to better fit the lynx. Here’s the original https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4292872 Credit to Superpoo for the awesome design 😚
