    Gotta show me what it looks like lol and it’s also possible that the creator and defcad has a agreement

    I mean, many open source licnses permit resale, that's not the problem, though a good 90% of releases don't state a license at all, which is a problem for them and in general.

    Even still, what they're doing is essentially if AARP made it their goal to constantly have open contempt for old people.  

    Certainly more productive ways of raising community issues than contempt, belittling, and infighting...

    I'm wondering if there would be a way for a single person to bring a lawsuit on behalf of others without having to identify themselves. I know that is a major issue for many designers.

    Here's the thing, I want people to have what I've made, and I don't want to hassle with discouraging additional avenues of acquisition.

    If you want to download it for free, you can. If you want to pay to download it because it makes you feel safe at night, you can. If you want to remix it and sell it, you can. If you want to claim it's yours and build a business around it, go ahead. I'm already onto the next thing.

    Free, open source.

    They claim to be moving towards open source but clearly the goal is profit, actions speak louder than words and all that. If I release an open source computer program and any change that's made to my program by the community is required to be paid for in order to be downloaded, that's not open source that's just letting others do work for me for free so I can then profit off of it

    Look at it like this a person is new at printing they want to get in the hobby the only place they would think to get files is from defcad because there platforms is popular but when they look it up Reddit post like this will pop up warning them before hand don’t put your personal information and pay a dollar to download some files

    Well damn, that's definitely a problem here.

    I've seen this happen to a lot of other creators that have done that, in various other hobbies/fandoms.

    It's always best to retain IP rights, and then have an explicit disclaimer that anyone can freely use and modify it so long as it isn't monetized. That way you can still stop this stuff from happening, without impeding other people from making use of it.

    Filament recommended for a nylaug?

    Hello everyone I was wondering if y'all had any recommendations for printing out a nylaug i know it has to be a carbon fiber nylon but I've heard that it has issues with water absorption and expanding even after its been annealed and there are so many options out there that it's kinda overwhelming to pick out what filament i should use for it

    Had a mossberg stock in the closet and a printed mlok handguard that started all this but it’s getting there now

    Printing a bushing for the barrel to center in the handguard and a plug for the rear of the BCG then it’ll be time to try and fit this double trigger ordeal.

    Bailed on using one of my spare Tubee uppers so I could use a charge handle I also had in my parts drawer.

    I’ve got some long Glock mag springs that i may use to make some shorter straight mags, just don’t like the longer curved mag look on this one so open to suggestions there

    There is truly no point to this build. But I guess that’s the point to this build.

    Super Safety Q

    Have a good ol PSA-15 with a deez nutz tactical super safety kit installed. Gun runs in semi auto great, however when put into full auto only shoots 2-3 shots and next round is not chambering after that. I just get a dry fire click.

    Im running a geissele H3 buffer with 2 quarters behind it. I am not running a suppressor, so I wouldn’t think this would be a gas issue. Maybe take the quarters out?

    What better way to start the weekend than with some Decker9 testing? The beta is coming along nicely, btw. I think you all are going to be really happy with all the options and features this has. Can't wait to be able to share them with you guys!

    So printed this stock last night and had a massive layer shift. Funny enough it didn't fail completely and I got a usable part. I'm looking for some help dialing in my settings on my Ender 3. Most of my printing experience is with a Anet a8. So my main issue is over extrusion on the bottom few layers. I ran 100% infill, and I think the over extrusion compounded and the nozzle caught on the print causing the layer shift. The belts are tight, they almost hum when plucked. Simultaneously I'm getting under extrusion around horizontal holes, I'm guessing thats to do with retraction settings. So printed a benchy just before starting the bigger print. It didn't look the best but good enough for me, so I included those pictures too.

    Settings: Filament 1.75 ABS, layer height 0.2mm, print speed 50mm/s, nozzle temp 250, bed temp 100, alm

    I’m building a Decimator from left over 10/22 and AR parts. The only extra part I don’t have laying around is the magazine plunger. Does anyone know if a stl exists? I know a new one is cheap. Just looking to print it if it’s a possibility. TIA.

    I went searching and realized… there’s not a lot of traditional ar handguards. Designs only focus on Mac, orca, dear22, sg22, mp5 and bidens bane. Any one knows any specific designs that support 556 upper?

    Left this print on overnight and came back to a nice little beautiful layer shift so I was just honestly wondering if it would still be salvageable with this tiny layer shift because this piece was coming out pretty good if not it’s ok back the reprinting lol

    Lock Pick upgrades.

    A couple more items for the lock pick.

    1. Conversion 1913 rail (used when placing a lock pick in a standard 1022 stock)
    2. Stronger stand alone, nothing wrong with the old one but this one is stronger, more compact, and requires no hardware.

    Next Will be a new chassis that's notched in the rear and sets farther back on the stand alone to remove any possibility of flex.

    really just a slicer problem....my supports are going through the support interface and touching the model. I have already tried adjusting the z gap of the interface but nothing. I am using orca. Cura never gave me this problem but i like orca cause it made calibrating the filament a breeze and there's more options. these supports are giving me a big problem however. support settings in photos

Below is what I paid.
