  • On to the next one! DeAR22 Rerelease

    Jump

  • Only thing I would change is your Top Z distance on your support settings to 0.265. Perfect setting for supports. Gives it a good interface layer and easy removal after printing.

  • What parts are needed for this build? I'm looking at a rock Island Armory kit right now but I'm not sure what's different between the 1911 and 2011.

  • Reddit on some bullshit again. Glad you made it here bro. No more eggshells to walk on.

  • Alright guys, let’s get this place popping! Now that Fosscadtoo is gonna we’re going to keep seeing this time after time.

  • Most people are probably used to the cozy design and ease of use that the current mobile reddit app provides.

  • A small amount of friction when switching to Lemmy is not a bad tradeoff for a free and uncensored platform to share and discuss our hobby. The OG fosscad being backed up here too? Sheeeeiiiiiit. Thats a pretty good deal. But I get it, the web version is dated, and takes some getting used to. I started using Summit on mobile for the past few days and its sleek compared to the web version.

    To reduce that friction we should get a tutorial pinned here too so newcomers know how to set up mobile versions as well.

  • Thank you, I'm quite proud of these two.

    To your question, I spent some time trying to crack the case myself, and in my own findings, the upper does not have enough room for the required amount of weight needed for reliable cycling at the higher rate of fire. If you could fit enough weight in the upper, theres still no easy way to keep the weight attached to bolt. Theres no hook or clipping point like the CMMG design has. Epoxy was an idea, but there's no way it would hold for any length of time. The trip I designed worked, and I could get some 2-4 round bursts from that alone, but inconsistently. Adding weight was the big issue.

    It has been done before, but not without heavy modification/fabrication to the bolt, and my goal was to create a drop-in design with minimal mods needed to the firearm itself. Unfortunately, that's not possible, so I shelved the project. In my opinion, it is not worth it to go to such lengths, when you can build a CMMG kit for less money and and much less effort.

  • Which UI Should Be the Default?

    Jump

  • Photon for sure. But on mobile im using Summit, which has its own sleek look. So not a huge deal if the lemmy ui stays.

  • It's a deAR22 build. Search deAR22 Re-Release on the index. I'm using the Soaked Noodle grip, and the handguard, HK Brace, and flash can, can be found on my page on the sea (FoapsFiles). Hk sights are still in development.

  • Designed & printed my own Foregrip, my first 2A3D project

  • Great job man 👌🏻

  • For sure. I'd consider that design out of date at this point. I've learned a lot more CAD since then. That was basically a mish mash of models thrown together. I'll revisit it after the drum is finished. The 15-22 mag I'm almost finished with is a pre-requisite to a redesign of both of those towers I made.

  • RIP FOSSCADTOO

    Jump

  • I am. I started having some feeding issues so I've backtracked a bit to diagnose it. I'll probably have to redo the connection point between the tower and drum because something is slightly off enough to cause binding issues. Everything else is done, just need to fugure out that last bit. Magazines are tricky to get right. Drum mags even more so.

  • Thanks man. For longer barrel lengths you'll definitely need some tungsten. My 16" build has the weight up to 1.7 oz. and it still doesn't run 100%. Also, lubricate generously.

  • The rear sight on the one you linked is not adjustable for windage and elevation. Only the front. So, as I said, opposite of what I'm going for. The front sight for mine is fixed and the rear will have the adjustability to mimic HKs design.
