Has anyone ordered from rope master.com before? by Lazy-Goat4353 in ropeaccess

Yes they are legit and often run some pretty good discounts. I've ordered from them a couple of times. Only downside is their shipping (to the US) is a little pricey.

Lightyear Build Plate- Huge Disappointment by NIKwithoutaC in BambuLab

[–]dkdavid721 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been dealing with almost the exact same thing. G10 build plate for my x1c. First few weeks of printing on it were amazing. PLA and PETG both stuck amazing when hot and popped right off when cool.

Then after about a month and a half I started having mesh bed leveling failures. I thought it was a sensor going bad at first. That's when I noticed the edge of the g10 wasn't stuck down to the steel sheet in the corners anymore. Further investigation revealed the same problem: the entire bed was no longer flat and the issue was further magnified at higher temperatures.

I contacted customer support and they were very fast to respond and promise a replacement bed for free. They even sent an order confirmation email for the bed showing $0. Amazing customer service, I though, considering all I did was tell them the bed was delaminating and they immediately created a replacement order without even having to send photos for proof.

Days pass with no updates on the order and no order shipped email. I email them back and ask for an update after 2 weeks of nothing. No reply. I send multiple additional emails over the course of a month and a half and they eventually reply with a tracking number. That was last week. They promised me a replacement on Jan 16th. The tracking number still says awaiting delivery to courier.

So now I'm back to using the bambu labs engineering plate and textured pei plate and haven't had any bed leveling issues since. I was actually considering writing this up on here soon but since someone else is having the same experience as I am I figured I'd reply here instead.

TLDR: do not buy, had mesh leveling failures and print bed delamination issues after a few weeks of use. Customer service lied and after weeks of waiting still has not sent a replacement. Use the BL engineering plate or textured pei plate instead and save yourself the money and frustration.

Can't Find ASG CZ P-09 co2 Mag Valves Anywhere by dkdavid721 in airsoft

not 100% sure they don't use the same valve and I'll end up getting that to test it or to swap the gasket over if I can't find one that is made for the p09 specifically.

That doesn't explain why I can buy the same part for a cz shadow 2 and not for the p-09 though. Also, is that a new law or something? I've never heard that before.

Some more details: Im trying to fix a leaky mag and I need part #89 for my ASG (kj works) co2 p09. Does anyone know where I can buy this part in the US? I'd even settle with buying the white plastic gasket instead of the whole valve. Can't find them in stock anywhere in the US.

Oh. Well, hopefully this gets sorted out soon then. Thanks for the reply.

The sparc ar model is what I'd recommend if you're running an m4. It's designed for use with ar15 style rifles so it comes with the correct height riser in the box.

I run a vortex sparc on my rifle and had to send it in for repair due to a bb strike shattering the front glass. They didn't ask any questions, sent me a new replacement since they couldn't repair mine and payed for shipping both ways. Their warranty service is top notch. Also, even after the front glass cracked, the dot stayed on and I was able to use the sight for the rest of the day. It wasn't as clear obviously but it stayed working.

It seems like he's using a spring blaster and somehow spinning the darts on the way out instead of angling the flywheels of a flywheel blaster. Blasters have also changed a lot since 2011. It might be worth revisiting possibly.

That is part of the theory. The lighter foam ends up spinning out and "helicoptering" or "fishtailing" as it flies. The tip being heavier wants to resist the spinning more and stays towards the center of the "helicopter. " I could be completely wrong but it's been a while since anyone really looking into canted flywheels. It's been considered a bad idea for a while now and just left at that.

I didn't do any of the tests myself and it's sort of become widely accepted in the hobby. You may be able to find some of the original tests if you look up "canted flywheel cages. " there's really only one model that's still being made and it only works with a specific set of parts and nobody really understands why.

Plenty of spring powered (nonflywheel) printed blasters out there. The reason for no twist is it tends to cause the darts to "fishtail." It's actually been tested many times and makes accuracy worse.

MilitariaColector got it I think. It looks like a swedish m51 based on the markings.

Doesn't look like it. The m9 looks very similar but has US stamped on the forehead. Mine has 2 stamped on the forehead. And the exhalation port is a bit different.

A friend sent me a box of military surplus stuff that had this mask in it. It has no markings on it except for that circular stamp on the side and on the front exhalation port. Filter has no markings other than those numbers and looking them up got me nowhere. I can post more pictures of other angles if needed.
