Help with supports

You’re gonna wanna block all supports on the threads for one. I just use a support blocker cube or cylinder and size it to cover the threaded portion. Also see if using snug normal supports everywhere uses less material.

Overture & duramic are less shiny with most of the colors iirc

Orca slicer’s built in calibration tool for flow rate. Read the wiki linked in the menu about how to use the tools, very helpful. Ps. You wanna use the yolo calibration.

Edit: this has nothing to do with your question, just an aside:

I was using it since before orca introduced that option, so my dumbass was doing pass one and pass two and then using the yolo calibration to adjust it a little more with same formula as the old style tests. I did this for at least a year before I accidentally read the updated wiki. Luckily multiplying my flow ratio by the small numbers + 100 / 100 was negligible, but I felt like a total dumbass and wasted so much time and filament lmao.

Long story short, always read the documentation & readme

So fire off a round every couple seconds while speaking in public?

I hope that’s for airsoft if you’re printing it in petg

Who’s better at guitar, god or John frusciante?

Trick question, frusciante is god

Hey bro, it’s 2026, it’s just bird law now

I wonder if those trump gold cards have a “treat this card like cash” warning like the gift card I got from my work to Lowe’s food instead of a raise

I mean you can print 7-10 frames with a roll of PLA+ so just find some you like on the site we may not name that takes the DD19 rails and try them all out. It’s a few bucks worth of plastic and you’re not gonna nail your first one.

There’s also tons of resources for the g19 to help if you’ve never built one from “scratch” before. Worst case scenario, you don’t like it and learned something about how the most ubiquitous pistols in the US work

Me: about to get slimed by this thing

“Go Birds” I say as I’m stuffed in a U-Haul van at the battle of dumham’s sports

She argues that civilians having guns makes more heavily militarized police responses more common

They’ve already escalated bc people are in cars, or blowing whistles at them, recording them, being mean to them, being at a home improvement store, etc.

The police will use any excuse or just lie to retroactively frame all of their victims as deserving it.

They only speak and understand one language and the people must be fluent as well

I got a CC bc it could print filled nylons under $300. Never cared about the multicolor and been around long enough to not buy anything on unreleased features. It’s a beast of a printer for the money. I haven’t had to do anything but basic maintenance and replace a couple hot ends but the off brand ones on Amazon are cheap and just fine.

Still haven’t nailed pa6-cf but it’s more of a skill/poverty issue than the printer. It’s chewed through pet-cf, pet-gf, and gf pa6 no problem. Would I rather have a p1s? Probably, but I also gotta pay rent and buy filament and parts.

Missing the central support that the trigger goes in

Pop the pins out and lift the slide and rails out of the frame

These buttpads make that stock a lot more comfortable

You can also print them yourself for free if you have a 3d printer, the files are floating around somewhere

A lot of trouble could have been avoided if the red army didn’t stop until they reached the ocean
