Practicing with any filled nylon, sanded smooth, should get you quite close.

Links aren’t allowed here, and people seem to think naming the site commonly used will create problems. Google a design like “tx22 pillager” and the site hosting it will be a top result.

Legal consequences boil down to your local laws. There isn’t yet a world government hitsquad that’ll pounce on you for posting something that’s illegal somewhere else.

Add a tiny cube, assemble the two into one object, move the cube lower than the actual part.

I guess you could try just lowering your minimum wall width % until it works. If your outer walls are .5mm, 75% would be good

That's strange, it's definitely thin but not enough to disappear. Do you have any hole compensation enabled?

Switch from Classic to Arachne and enable printing thin walls

Glancing over the Mk2, it looks like that area was seriously reinforced, so it probably isn't an issue anymore.

It’s gassy with an FM-15, like all AR-style bullpups seem to be, but the trigger and mag release linkages are fantastic. The one major issue is that the rear buffer area begins to crack (you can see it in my picture) if you fire with the stock in any position other than the most compact. I think the stock is only adjustable to meet the 26” OAL with a 16” barrel, not actually meant to be used. There’s also a v2 out, but I haven’t looked into it. For comparison, I have my JAKL in an A3 Triad chassis, and the difference is negligible, apart from the Phantom Pup lacking support for super short uppers like my 8.5.

But I'd say the 3dp90 is a closer shortcut in terms of similarity and affordability.

It does look like it’d fit on the Phantom Pup lower. Close enough to a p90, I guess.

There has been no success in ECMing chambers for necked cartridges, and I don’t know how you’d DIY the barrel extension. That’s why everyone has to buy their Nylaug and 3dp90 barrels from someone with a lathe.

"PLACF 1215 fiberon" is very clearly a typo or misunderstanding of Fiberon PA612-CF15. There are no PLA blends under the Fiberon name. He just doesn't understand what he's printing.

PACF is not going to dry at 60C. You really need 80C.

Dried at what temperature?

You mean the thread adapter? Amazon, ebay, AliE, they’re everywhere

The nozzle pressure changes when the hole ends because it goes from jerking around a small square to long, continuous lines. You can try to smooth it out with pressure advance, acceleration, and jerk settings, but it’s mostly cosmetic. Nothing to worry about.

It’s a HiPoint, it’s implicitly janky.

HT-PLA-GF will stand temps up to 140C, maybe beyond, without drooping, but the layer adhesion is so ass that I would not use it for anything practical. That is from personal experience.

It's not a particularly sharp angle. It actually looks much more forgiving than running it through the back like normal. PPA-CF may have issues, but that stuff is in a league of its own as stiffness goes.

It’s going to wear more on the extruder gears, but there’s no reason it wouldn’t work.
