  • I'd suggest sanding with coarse to medium sand paper, then filler primer. The sanding will help with primer adhesion and reduce the number of extra coats.

  • This is 'murica. we use Webster's here.

    (sorry. couldn't resist. you are correct. this isn't a solution.)

  • not really. Well let me put it this way. The firearms that are entirely 3d printed are basically one-shot weapons.

    the firearms that are single-printed components (or maybe more,) aren't printing components that are part of the firing mechanism. for example, the DefCad team, they're printing lower receiver for an AR. All the lower receiver does is holds the magazine in place for feeding into the chamber. For some technically obscure reason, it's the part that is defined as "the" firearm for the purposes of registration.

    the reason most ghost guns aren't actually being printed is because there's easier ways to get better firearms. Like driving to a state that allows the gunshow loophole and buying them cheap and flipping them in NY or whatever. printed ghost guns are... relatively uncommon, overall.

  • an Ender 3's print quality is too low to reliably handle any of the critical components, even for one or two uses. something like the defcad AR lower receiver (which is for some odd reason designated as "the firearm" under ATF regulations...) can absolutely be printed, but not reliably by an ender 3- at least not a stock ender 3. (the defcad team was using resin printers for the dimensional accuracy.)

    in any case, you can go to any big box hardware store, drop around 30 bucks in plumbing parts and some quality time with a dremel will produce a fully automatic firearm. should we now regulate plumbing hardware?

  • “Three-dimensionally printed firearms, a type of untraceable ghost gun, can be built by anyone using a $150 three-dimensional printer,” Rajkumar wrote in a memorandum explaining the bill. “This bill will require a background check so that three-dimensional printed firearms do not get in the wrong hands.”

    .... No way an ender 3 is going to produce something that doesn't blow up in your hand.

    so. i suggest people get that 150 dollar lol-printer. Should take care of itself.

  • it probably has to do with the quality of "remote training" materials. my company (contract security), I train new hires in a variety of things including CPR/AED/First Aid.... you can definitely tell the difference between people who were given the stupid web-cartoon training vs actual in person training.

    hell, the remote training shit had terrible localization issues. (as in, would get our people arrested and charged with felonies... ooops....)

  • eh. i think best practice is smallish teams get everyone together once a week for the stand up. but a supe or somebody makes the rounds daily. five minute check up 'do you need anything? get you some coffee?', kind of conversation before going to the next.

    it doesn't impact the team if that one person wants to chat, but also gives people an opportunity to bring up concerns they wouldn't normally bring up in a group.

    largish teams need to be broken into smallish teams.

  • and incidentally, this fear of accusation causes an inherent bias in the opposite direction. Slap him in jail already. Communication only through his lawyers. or maybe only through court appointed lawyers. Because, you know, his lawyers are also likely to be criminals.

  • Soap tray test print

    Printed a simple soap tray- it was just a plate printed vertically- 3mm thick with rounded edges.

    Prusaslicer settings were 1.5mm fuzzy skin with 2mm connection points, spiral mode with zero bottom infil, and a 3mm brim for adhesion. (The brim is easy to remove, and the edge looks nicer with with no infill.) 100%extrusion width.
