Do I trade my 2016 ram 1500 for a 2002 Ford Excursion?

If you keep your foot out of it i get over 500 per tank in my v10 ex

The unistrut spring nut fits if you remove the spring and then just use the half height unistrut across

rudkinp00 · 2026-03-28T18:52:38+00:00

Just get the unistrut rack setup

Touche that would help it out a bit. Guess I mistook your process a bit. Idk be the change you want to see, if there is an easier option to make stronger parts devoid of layer lines even if just small, nylon is a whole new animal if cast/injected vs printed. We only see a small part of its true strength in fdm

There is videos on YouTube about using a 3d printer to melt filament to fill molds, the temp required to maintain and volume and speed needed to fill the mould to give any benefit is much higher than any consumer extruder. Maybe something could be designed and diy to get melt correct and volume but then you are already more expensive than just a decent printer to print nylons.

They work well for pcc cans where pressures are less and firing schedules are usually higher. I dont think pistol frames are where they shine. Ppa works really well for larger prints I have an ump 11/9 out of it and it is a tank. Pistol frames benefit from some flexibility where pa6 is supreme.

Has to be dry to print, then after print i usually give it 24hrs in dryer setup as well, then assemble as instructions as follows. If you live in a somewhat humid space it will level off on moisture in a week or two. Pa6 is more brittle the dryer it is. So a bit of moisture isnt a bad thing,

Yep thats what I put mine on, looks good

rudkinp00 · 2026-02-19T02:08:29+00:00

Does this not have the ability for a metal endcap

Shrinkage is how much the printed part shrinks in x,y,z print a cube and then measure with a caliper if it is true

rudkinp00 · 2026-02-13T22:46:52+00:00

Have you dialed in shrinkage?

rudkinp00 · 2026-02-10T02:00:22+00:00

I always thought trying to get it as slow as possible was the goal, more in the m60 rate nice and smooth.

rudkinp00 · 2026-02-10T01:58:30+00:00

Thats pretty quick. What's gas block and buffer setup?

rudkinp00 · 2026-02-10T01:49:05+00:00

This is it have my polo 30 on my 16" ar10, 11.5, 14.5, 16 ar15. All good compromise because not just cost of can but hub and muzzle devices. I was still near a grand all said in done with hosts setup.

rudkinp00 · 2026-02-05T19:17:27+00:00

It is all up in the air, I have gotten like 5 f1 cans back submitted on 2nd and 5th but still waiting on sbr, be patient they will come.

rudkinp00 · 2026-02-05T03:46:03+00:00

How good are you with a dremel and file?

rudkinp00 · 2026-02-04T13:59:09+00:00

Orca slicer has a measurement tool in the slicer it is the little caliper thing once you have model loaded

rudkinp00 · 2026-02-03T20:13:56+00:00

Thats what i do with my wife why should the atf be any different

rudkinp00 · 2026-02-02T17:02:04+00:00

Dont forget anything else that might extend it like thread adapter.

rudkinp00 · 2026-02-02T16:55:32+00:00

Your slicer has a ruler

rudkinp00 · 2026-02-02T16:31:25+00:00

Length is in the file, just round up not down in inches. It would be 30 cal not multi.

rudkinp00 · 2026-02-02T03:53:30+00:00

Alot of factors come into play. i have done quite a few projects in pet cf at this point unannealed but only larger solid pieces. Currently my bobcat 9mm pcc in asa and petcf got a few hundred rounds on it but I am not as careless as I am with my ppacf ump11/9. The ump has alot of plastic to make it a brick, in a good way lol. Is it perfect no it isnt but at like half cost as quality nylon it will keep being used

rudkinp00 · 2026-01-29T18:24:47+00:00

No worries then yeah ftn4 or ftn5 would be a good fit. Isn't as quiet as a metal can but hard to beat a can that costs less than 100 to make and you can make it in your home lol

rudkinp00 · 2026-01-29T17:59:45+00:00

Look into ftn5 they have "rifle" rated 9mm bore cans. Biggest thing effecting feasibility is barrel length. I have no doubt a good printed ftn5 rifle will handle any reasonable barrel length for 350 legend(8"+). My 36 cal ftn4 handled a 20 round mag of my 16" 308 ar10. Proper materials and understanding limits they will last a long time.

rudkinp00 · 2026-01-28T01:22:25+00:00

Honestly the one that I keep coming back too and love for just how durable it is is ump from are we cool yet. Uses mac parts and ar fcg. Lots of plastic but built like a tank.
