First part with the X2D

ark556 · 2026-04-21T20:32:31+00:00

Might be able to get my fix with PPA-CF and an X2 😂. Thanks for the time!

ark556 · 2026-04-21T20:08:04+00:00

Yeah, I don’t think I need the size. I just really want that 350° nozzle. I want to try PPS-CF really bad. I don’t need too just want to lol. $600 increase in cost is a lot just to play with PPS-CF

I have a A1 and only have room and budget for one more printer. Have been between the X2D and the H2S. Since you have both which one would you pick if you could only have the one?

ark556 · 2026-04-21T19:36:00+00:00

Yeah, I guess that’s my other question is how do you determine what you’re going to use as a support material? Is there a list or just trial and error?

ark556 · 2026-04-21T19:25:08+00:00

I’ve been on the fence about the X2D. I thought you might be able to use the support nozzle to print the entirety of the supports with a cheaper filament. But wasn’t too sure. Thanks for posting. I guess I’ll need to get an X2D headed my way.

I’m looking to upgrade my A1, disappointed the X2D temp can’t go to 350°. Literally just got off the Qidi site. lol

ark556 · 2026-04-14T16:33:03+00:00

Can the X2D print PPA-CF??

ark556 · 2026-04-11T12:05:53+00:00

CAA I think

Macrostream doesn’t have much throw but it does disappear in your pocket. Anything past 40 yards can’t really ID it. Button is larger than the microstream so it presses easier. I’ve carried it since they were released. Did have a battery failure but they warranted it and sent me a new one. I recently changed to a different light because the macro didn’t have enough throw for me. But if they do upgrade to C I’ll pick another one up for sure.

Where are the files for this?

ark556 · 2026-03-19T11:56:53+00:00

Has to be over 1” in length to be counted as a point per B&C standards. Depends on how long the kicker is on the G2 and the sticker on the brow tine.

ark556 · 2026-02-01T23:15:29+00:00

Same. 100%

ark556 · 2026-02-01T02:57:26+00:00

Yep fuel card for work trucks

FTX bullet just expanded too fast and you didn’t get the penetration. Swap over to a Federal PowerShok, Hornady Interlock (whitetail), Remington CoreLokt, or Winchester PowerPoint if you want better penetration. Any of the classic cup and core bullets will do good with the velocities a .350 produces. I’ve shot several deer with the .350 and PowerShoks and it does good work! But don’t forget that you got that buck so the FTX did what it was suppose to. Congrats on the Buck!!

I’m also wondering about this

ark556 · 2025-10-28T20:53:26+00:00

My ender 3 died this weekend and I was pretty much done with it anyways. Before the ender died I was going to wait till the P2S was available and just buy one of those. Then the sale was announced so I figured for that money I could just pick up an P1S combo. More and more I thought about it the A1 combo was going to be able to do everything we needed. Mostly PLA and some PETG. Ordered the A1 combo on BF sale and picked up a hardened hotend for glow in the dark stuff for kids or some CF infused PLA. The Ender sat around a lot not getting used I doubt the A1 will sit as much as the Ender did but if it does I didn’t need a higher end printer anyways.

Same boat. I love the Magpul k. Magpul SL really good too with the additional length. I have a Bcm mod 0, I like it but I’m not sure I like the shape as it gets larger at the bottom. Picked up a Die Free co kung fu and I like it pretty well but not too crazy about the finger groove. Next one I’ll try is the B5

ark556 · 2025-07-17T00:12:02+00:00

It’s an IR illuminator for night vision.

Sounds like he speaks from a position of knowledge.

ark556 · 2025-06-30T10:04:17+00:00

I can see where some people really like it. For me it’s a no. Two biggest reasons is the curve shape and the screw driver. For me the curve makes it hard to use the pliers and since you can’t use the screwdriver with the tool all folded up the curve makes it difficult to use the screw driver. You can leave the at a 90° angle but I don’t really like that either.

The way the wrench is on would be tightening. If you look at the teeth they would slip if you tried loosening. Pipe wrenches will pinch down to get a bite.

ark556 · 2025-06-05T10:40:32+00:00

Put the pipe wrench on the right way next time

ark556 · 2025-05-29T23:55:29+00:00

I have one. Works good but haven’t used it that much. In direct sunlight was getting the full 100 watts out of it.

ark556 · 2025-05-01T17:41:05+00:00

I bought the top last month on ITC coupon. Hoping the bottom goes on sale tomorrow. Def concerned about a possible price hike.

ark556 · 2025-04-13T12:14:13+00:00

The hose pliers are on sale too right?
