  • Nice job! Looks like it should work well

  • Not pa6 but PPA is pretty similar to pps in wear. Both were annealed and printed at 330°c

  • D cell baffles start to show pretty heavy erosion with pps-cf within 300 or 400 rounds. I just keep rearranging them so the most eroded is at the muzzle end

    In fairness I'm not exactly polite to them. 9mm, and I usually dump 6 mags with my sphynx so around 90 rounds in 90 seconds

  • Sunlu PA6-CF Calibration and General Questions

    Jump

  • While I don't use 300blk settings exactly, I have a well dialed in fiberon pa6cf profile I use, and have used with sunlu

    Generally speaking, it prints well, with a bit rougher surface finish than fiberon. On paper it's not quite as strong

    It does seem to arrive a bit wetter than other nylons I've used. Dry it properly before starting

  • pt22 beta

    Jump

  • Good beta testers are actively involved.

    Lots of testers join, download the files and dip

    They aren't invited back to the best betas

    Doesn't mean you have to post daily. But keep up with channel so you don't make the devs repeat themselves and keep the goals in mind

  • Sy22 lead casting

    Jump

  • Just use kinetic sand

    Print the weight as a mold and press it into firmly packed sand. Carefully remove the printed mold and pour. I've cast about 150 mp22 bolt weights this way and it's super noob friendly

  • pt22 beta

    Jump

  • Black lotus coalition is hosting that beta. You need to find their discord, and join the exam room. Prove your worth as a tester and show you're willing to follow the rules and they will add you to the beta. The beta is hosted on element, not discord, but discord is easier to get to and they can add you to the element server from there

  • 22lr - Mostly Printed

  • Check out the builds section on my site www.print-a-22.com

    I don't know of any that are exactly what you're looking for, but I do know you'll find something you want to build

  • now you have a machine gun ho ho ho

  • I used the tri lug with my d cell can, but to kaewons point, my can is not a 22 can, and has plenty of wiggle room in its bore

  • I'd say the mp22k is "beefier" all around. It's a stout build in all aspects, and overbuilt in some aspects that don't really add to the functionality

    To make this build fit within the shape and stay true to mp5 size, there are some thin parts. I have a few hundred rounds through my YKA's at this point and it's plenty sturdy enough as a plinker, but I probably wouldn't throw one across the yard unless it's all nylon, where as the mp22k can likely be thrown around and abused without any issue

    Some of the complexity of the mp22 is having to cast a lead bolt weight. YKA uses lead shot instead. Both have metal bolt and breach faces, but the mp22 is just JB weld on which does fail over time, where as YKA is bolted on

    Mp22 also has some parts that are harder to print... The upper barely fits on an A1/p1, where as the yka fits easily.

    In full disclosure mp22k was one of my first complex builds and I built a lot between then and the YKA, but if you've ever done another Kaewon build, you already know what to expect. An easy print and assemble with minimal fine tuning needed to get it running. I can't say the same about the mp22k

  • now you have a machine gun ho ho ho

    Jump

  • Having built both, this one is easier to print and assemble, easier to get working well, more accurate to the mp5 design and uses significantly less plastic

  • Printed Revolver Cylinder.

    Jump

  • The Ryno over in gatalog beta disagrees.

    In fairness it has a trick up its sleeve with oversized rifling designed to vent excess gas rather than build too much pressure

    I did blow up one cylinder with standard velocity ammo, but when I reprinted it hot and slower, I've put over 50rds of standard velocity 22 through it without failure, without liners.

  • tiny-11 builds?

    Jump

  • You're likely the first outside the beta to do it with kimber parts. If things aren't fitting like expected there is a discord help room for it in blc server and miami4quad is active there.

    It's an awesome little build. All 3 of mine were sign parts but each has over 500rds

  • print settings is the right fix. but a heavier spring can work as a bandaid

    Its all about balance though. In testing these printed mags, 4/13 i must have left the spring a coil or two too long, and they would bind the slide up for the first few shots until the mag was about half full. I suspect clipping a coil off those mags springs should fix it right up.

    At this point im still experimenting with them.

    Peak Magazine

    I was disturbed at the price of 10rd P22 magazines, so a quick search on the sea and an overnight print later ive solved that issue. Mr snark blessed us with a printable p22 mag that works and can be printed and assembled for only about a dollar or less

    Clear mag body to see if it's loaded, orange follower to see when you're out, and black base plates so they look normal in use

    Docs called for cmmg/black dog spring (same as Pa22 mag spring), and I do think this is the right spring but your mag body needs to be very smooth or you get some binding. I swapped them to 626 springs and had great reliability for a 1 round per mag sacrifice (9rds now instead of 10, seeing if I can fix that with a base plate tweak)

    The main difference you'll notice using it (other than your wallet not being lighter) is that it doesn't drop freely. You have to pull it out of mag well. This is on purpose so there are no sections that are only 1 wall thick

  • Originally it was just blowback extraction. Extractor was added a bit over a year ago

  • Nag or null

    Jump

  • They are essentially the same. Null is bigger improved nag. Changes from null have been incorporated into nag

  • Nag or null

    Jump

  • Its an incredibly clever design, and when built properly, can be a lot of fun. However there is also a lot that can go wrong, especially if you aren't an experienced builder, and when it does go wrong, it typically results in a catastrophic failure.

    With that said, its not a particularly easy print, and its really for more experienced builders. It requires a lot of fine tuning to get running well, and in general isn't very beginner friendly.

    If you're looking for a 99% printable pistol that is a bit more beginner friendly, the YH22 or SY22 are great candidates (kits available for both on my site)

    information on the SY22

    Jump

  • You cant. I've taken over production of this kit from Mr. Snark, and am the only retailer licensed to sell this kit. We do not offer any shipping outside of the US, as it would be a violation of both US arms export laws, and your local laws.

    This is not a super friendly build to DIY. The fire pins are machined on a lathe, then hardened. The extractor, and ejector are both laser cut, and the ejector is bent on a handmade jig. The slide weight is made in a custom mold, and would require quite a bit of work to re-create. Most of the pins and springs are readily available. If you don't have access to a lathe, as well as a laser cutter, you should look for a more diy friendly build.

    Inox and PA6-GF

    I guess I kind of have a thing for Inox and PA6-GF. These two can finally match.

    Checking out the Sphynx (Printable 92fs) with a thermal camera.

    94 suppressed shots in about 90 seconds. I love this build! This is the second sphynx I've built and one of my favorite parts is that with a clean print, almost no filing is necessary. Thank you Beretta for good tolerances! And thank you Gerald Katz for this awesome design

    TL;DR: you'd have to shoot a huge amount for heat to become an issue on the printed rails at least for filled nylons.

    Baby Barrett 22LR by Kaewon

    The Baby Barrett is a build that deserves a spot in everyone's safe.

    3/5 scale from the real deal, chambered in 22LR, and includes options for both M82(pictured) and M107. This is a "99% printable" build, meaning everythings printed short of the nuts, bolts, springs, fire control group, and barrel/liner. You can use a barrel liner in 3 different lengths, or an RS22 barrel, 10-22 barrel, or Mossberg 702 barrel.

    Like the other builds by Kaewon, you can expect an easy to print, easy to assemble, and true to form 22LR clone of one of the famous firearms that got us all into guns.

    Make some room in your safe, and start printing one today. More info here and kits can be found here.

    Best MATTE finish TPU

    I've been using Polymaker 95A TPU for all my butt pads, and I'm increasingly growing tired of the gloss black finish. I've also got a roll of sirayatech TPU but the actual filament itself looks glossy (polymaker TPU looks matte before printed) so I don't have a ton of faith in it. I'm hoping someone has found a nice matte finish TPU, or possibly even something like that Filaflex that foams more dependent on temperature. Are we destined to use glossy buttpads for ever?
