Hello everyone, I once read a kind of “recipe,” but haven’t tried it myself yet. This recipe is more about reducing the burn rate of nitrocellulose by adding two components so that it can be used as smokeless powder for pistol ammunition. But as I mentioned, I haven’t tried it myself. Use at your own risk! Here the “recipe”:
"crude yet somewhat effective. its my first attempt, it works OK but is a little too dirty still since I added to much graphite. I will try again soon.
10 gram nitrocellulose powder ; 5ml ad blue/urea ; 0.5 gram graphite powder
The powder was first dissolved in acetone then the urea and graphite where added and mixed in, it was left to dry then powdered. if attempting then add waaayyy less graphite, maybe around 0.2 / 0.1 gram instead."
Well, some people (like me) learned modeling with programs other than SolidWorks or Fusion. I learned with Cinem4D, for example, and would only upload my own projects in .c4d or .obj. Furthermore, most people here are more into 3D printing, and that’s why you find a lot of models in .stl, .3mf, or similar formats. Many people also use online or open-source programs that don’t work with or save in .stp/.step formats. I’m not a fan of the .stl format either, but you can’t change it. I’m starting to find it really annoying when some people are so persistent about certain formats. At the end of the day, you should always be happy when you get something for free…after all, the model creators have invested a lot of their time and effort into these models. I’m also very grateful when they come in .step format, but it is what it is…you should take it as it comes.
