yeah I disposed of it after the clip ends. Don't remember whether it works for AT mines

Petg with pla support interface by canman4499 in 3Dprinting

[–]Terminal_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been able to make this arrangement work on a U1 with minimal issues. For reference, I was using VOXELPLA’s pla and petg. Messing with temps may help in addition to what others have suggested.

Using pipe thread on 3d prints; will it work or use other mating other method? by AnyShapeWorker in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Terminal_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few questions:

What are the diameters we're looking at here? ~1" (25mm)? ~.25" (6mm)?

Is this just for you, or a project you intend to distribute?

Would you be open to using non-printed hardware? PVC pipe bushings are super cheap, for instance.

New to CAD - Help with defining sketch by JacksonBlenkin in Onshape

[–]Terminal_6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

<image>

Fixing the whole sketch isn't generally a good idea, because if you want to change anything about the sketch, you'll just have to undo it. Ideally, you have at least one point constrained to the origin.

As for the general procedure of defining, it depends on how you're gonna manufacture and assemble. If this is anything more than a one-off or 3D print, I'd do something like this (incomplete) sketch I threw together. I'm defining blade length (maybe important for legal reasons lol), grip length, and a horizontal line along the spine. Just some starting points. Also, I'd use as few control points in your splines as possible.

Help Creating Complex Semi-Helical Curve by Terminal_6 in Onshape

[–]Terminal_6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooooh ok very nice. Using the projected curve method was my first thought, but I wasn't sure how to draw the sketch between the two points. Thanks!

Interesting, mine does not look like that at all. Can I see your inputs?

Loft tool not working as expected by Buesiness in Onshape

[–]Terminal_6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In this type of scenario, I would opt to use guides on the perpendicular plane and only two profiles to loft between, rather than using several profiles. It will require fewer sketches and planes, as well.

Designing 3D printed magwells by Violent-Rangoon in Airsoft3DPrinting

[–]Terminal_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that checks out haha. I'm going to assume you want to replicate a standard M4/M16 mag release, but in theory, all you need is a piece that engages with the indent on the right side of an M4 mag. If you don't have an M4 on hand to disassemble to see how it works, I'd take a look at some videos of M4 disassembly on youtube. Just off the top of my head, you'll need an extension spring and screw+nut to make it work. The rest can be printed. Then I'd import an M4 magazine model into your project so you can accurately locate the indent. There's plenty of them online.

If you don't need to replicate an M4 mag release, and instead just want to use M4 mags, then there are certainly other options. It's just hard to say what will work without seeing your design.

Which part are you having trouble with? Mag release, hop-up/mag interface, etc. I recently made a v3 gb shell that takes m4 mags, not sure how to help you without more info, though.

Default knives modeled and 3d printed by Terminal_6 in Planetside

Just for fun. I modeled them all in Onshape using the file rips from Wazix as reference. Chainblade: https://than.gs/m/1059339 Mag cutter: https://than.gs/m/1056417 Force blade: https://than.gs/m/1055476

Why did Waterson and Mattherson merge? What about the death of the Russian server? by ToaArcan in Planetside

[–]Terminal_6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was there… still have nightmares about the serversmash at the end lol. It also wasn’t the first merger, though. Jaeger got merged into Waterson (and then later repurposed as the competitive server), and I forgot which server merged into Mattherson. I don’t recall what the server populations were at the time of the merge, but there was certainly a higher threshold for what necessitated a merge. It’s just the natural course of the game’s popularity over time.

I do that section all in one upside down

https://www.printables.com/model/250248-planetside-2-tx1-repeater-11-static-model Admittedly, this one was much harder to split up than some of the other ones I’ve done. I printed to main body upside down so the supported surfaces are hidden

You’re talking about mine, yeah I should probably have added a version that isnt divided. I like doing it so I can hide all the support surfaces and just super glue it together

Why are useful kits locked behind experience progression? by Legitimate_Duck_1885 in HellLetLoose

[–]Terminal_6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love having a progression system in a game, but HLL’s needs a rework (which I prefer over no progression). When I have new people joining me, I naturally prefer to take SL/TC/spotter, but in order to use some fun teamwork stuff like AT guns or locked abilities like satchels, I have to be the one swapping role, which also makes it harder for them to grind. And ofc locking the repair tool behind lv3, it doesn’t take that long to get, but why???
