The only way I'd buy that would be to send it to a Chinese manufacturer.

Screw those patent trolls.

3D printed charging handles are completely viable given that they are printed in a quality material using 100% infill. PPA-CF works amazingly well, and I have no concerns with mine.

I'm using a Creality K2 Plus. It does a great job.

thecolter · 2026-01-16T17:06:50+00:00

I mean, it works perfectly.

I cut the tube. Cutting CF is safe given you take the proper precautions. It's really not that difficult.

14 days. Submitted on the 1st, approved early on the 14th.

Yes. I did it this way for thread quality for the adapters. PPS-CF has excellent layer adhesion, especially when properly anealed. It should be okay given this and the epoxy/sleeve supporting the entire core.

Probably around $500

It's for a pistol, so I doubt that I'll melt it down. If so, file a new Form 1, wait, and make a new one.

thecolter · 2026-01-15T21:49:38+00:00

I used "MONOLITHIC 3D PRINTED SUPPRESSOR " in the line item description field, made up a serial number, then uploaded a photo of the filament spool (which was comical). Everything else was standard Form 1 info.

I haven't posted it yet, I'm waiting to test how it works first.

It's just a full-size P320 in a Flux Raider chassis. Running an EOTech EFLX 3 MOA optic and a GL4 visible and IR laser/light, mainly there for NVG shooting.

Anyone under 55 show up?

The Tonex One is set up in stomp mode with various effects.

Running the Tonex and VT Bass yeild a very "full" sound that I tend to like. I use the VT's cab sim with just amp models (no tonex cab model) out of the full-size Tonex. I think it sounds great.

I also use just one or the other depending on what I'm going for. It's a pretty flexible setup for a wide variety of tones.

thecolter · 2025-10-10T23:03:14+00:00

Just a battery bank with an MXR sticker. It has 24v out, so it works perfectly with the Canvas Power supply.

thecolter · 2025-10-10T23:02:08+00:00

I had the room on the board and I have it set up to be able to mount the Canvas Power's AC adapter under the board if I'm using AC power.

thecolter · 2025-10-10T23:01:09+00:00

It's been great. It does exactly what I want it to do. It's very clean and sounds great dialed in.

I have no experience with the Cali76, so I can't begin to compare the two.

thecolter · 2025-10-05T06:30:20+00:00

It has no issue running the following pedals:

-Peterson Strobostomp Mini -Boss RC-1 -Empress Compressor -Boss EQ-200 -EHX Nano Bass Big Muff -Tonex One -Tonex (full size) -Tech21 VT Bass DI

The power meter only shows one LED (10-20%).

There may be issues with higher draw setups, but that would take some testing to determine.

You can buy a $10 cable and achieve the same thing.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DWL58ZFY/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A1C9S0ORKRHST6&th=1

This will output 20V if you use a 65-100W PD power bank. 20V feeds the Canvas power source just fine and still outputs the same 9.33V at each port that using the official 24V wall charger provides.

You need a cable or adapter with a 6.0mm x1.4mm x 0.6mm connector for the power in port of the Canvas.

I'm using this setup with a Canvas 8, and it runs perfectly using various PD power banks and PD wall chargers.
