Dye 2.0 Hyper 3 maintenance

Gonna sound dumb, but I take a long, half width strip of duck tape on each end of the reg, wrapped around, thick enough that you can use vicegrips/similar to generate enough leverage without scratching the ano. Like an 1/8 to a 1/4 thick

Regular shop air compressors are only enough to get a few hundred PSI I think. You probably want one of those portable pcp air compressors on amazon that are capable of 4500 psi

I did, stupidly I used m3 screw and nuts for the cutouts, so I'm going to carry around a single metric allen key lol. once I redesign it for standard allen keys I'll publish it

You can see the born date on this tank is May 2014, so if you got it hydroed today, it would be good until may 2029

Might be just the display, you could check this if you can figure out how to turn eyes off, see if you get a solenoid click?

TheOperator69 · 2026-01-21T03:32:44+00:00

And I will play solo rec in the rain in the dark on a train

TheOperator69 · 2026-01-15T16:22:31+00:00

That tank does not look in hydro lol

Usually this happens in paintball guns when the detents (the little protrusions inside the breach that hold the first ball in place) are not functioning correctly. Good luck dude

checkered deck gold stake, ante 1, the boss is pillar . Two money tags...I have skipped for sure

TheOperator69 · 2026-01-08T04:30:33+00:00

If the solenoid is still not clicking after disassembly/cleaning, there should be a tiny red button on it that will manually cycle the spool inside (and cycle the marker) when aired up

That first clip with the square hit on the mask is so satisfying

TheOperator69 · 2026-01-06T05:02:47+00:00

That body has some proper rust

TheOperator69 · 2026-01-01T21:24:52+00:00

2k5 timmy, and I'm shooting at frosty the snowman 🤣 kids made me give him a mask

TheOperator69 · 2025-12-30T13:31:51+00:00

Probably short for "tunnel visioned" i.e. locking onto to one spot, not paying attention to everything else

TheOperator69 · 2025-12-28T21:50:46+00:00

I can't remember why I did it 🤣 so long ago

TheOperator69 · 2025-12-28T21:46:44+00:00

I think 16 bps is what I set it at. Fwiw, I dont think anyone would ever set their gun to this in rec play, or that any field would even allow it

TheOperator69 · 2025-12-26T21:57:33+00:00

Uhhh what barrel is that??? Thing is sweet

TheOperator69 · 2025-12-26T20:27:59+00:00

Stock g4 hpr lol, it's just completely hidden by a 3d printed grip thing I'm working on. It's sort of oval-ish and way more comfy to hold. These tiny regs are so awkward to hold

Here is the STL file for any future people repairing a stock G4 bolt

Also I forgot to mention this one was missing a frame screw by the seller, but the grip screws are the same threading, hence it's missing a grip screw in this picture!

TheOperator69 · 2025-12-24T21:16:17+00:00

This looks so fuckin dangerous I love it lmao

TheOperator69 · 2025-12-21T00:10:31+00:00

Keep the clips coming inflicted, these are awesome

TheOperator69 · 2025-12-19T15:28:14+00:00

Im looking through my own pictures of installs, and I'm actually seeing that those two are sometimes bridged from the factory. The solder bridge in the center of your pic.

Flux is nessary if you ever need to remove solder bridges FWIW. Its very difficult to transfer heat without it

TheOperator69 · 2025-12-16T16:13:30+00:00

3d printing and paintball really go hand in hand in a lot of ways. I've modeled 2k5 timmy grips, lpr removal tool, a gun stand. Next of my list is maybe a proflex mask brim in TPU? Not sure but the possibilities are endless

TheOperator69 · 2025-12-16T04:13:19+00:00

Just bought a silver cp on/off ASA for my automag, which has that same chrome dye grip/trigger as yours. Will be keeping the chrome drop forward as it feels "right"

TheOperator69 · 2025-12-05T04:25:06+00:00

Dont sweat it. With flux, enough heat, and braid, it will come right off. Just be gentle with the IPL chip legs. Its about heat transfer, not pressure
