The Ark @fosscad.io Another VSG welcomed into the world
Originally posted by u/V8Wallace at 2025-06-14T16:44:44Z
My VSG took many months to build. Most of the moving parts are printed in PA6-CF. The stock is real, it was given to me specifically for this project. Condition was maybe a 6 out of 10, mfg date of 1948. It did require a lot of modifications to fit the barrel and upper parts. I also refinished the stock before final assembly. Front 'wood' piece is custom designed with the bayonet lug and an 80mm steel rod in the center for additional strength. Also conforms to the collar/sleeve that blocks the gas hole and hides it nicely. Printed, painted, then stained with alcohol ink to look similar to the wood stock. I have not fired it yet but will this weekend. Printed on Ender 3's with polymaker pla pro and pa6cf20 Thank you Stubbs for another phenomenal project!
The Ark @fosscad.io shelf life of plastic firearms

I think the expiration date of the filament used in firearms will depend on factors such as wear rate and temperature changes. In your opinion, if it is never used and just sits in a corner at home, for example next to where you sleep, how long would it take for its reliability to start decreasing, for example losing strength by around 20%? I think rebuilding every 2 years may be necessary.
The Ark @fosscad.io Made a defiance lower remix. I love this model. So many great upgrades to help mitigate prints weaknesses.

Is there any modification to make the Urutau Full Auto (SMG) ? Or any project similar to the reset present in the Decker 380?

The Ark @fosscad.io These Black and Gold Pidgins are turning out quite nice

Still lots of work to do, slide tends to stick, so putting the work into that, and will sand, use some clear resin and give it a blowtorch pass for a return of the luster. One of them is getting laser etched tiger stripes.
The Ark @fosscad.io SSSVar .22 Conversion Trip
Originally posted by u/zilexs at 2025-06-14T14:40:04Z
Hey guys! This is more a notification / hoping to find l testers. I remixed Remnants skip trip from the SSSVar to run with the Czech Point .22 Conversion uppers. I’ve got about 200 rounds through it but need more people to test it out. I had a lot of problems in the beginning with the bolt getting stuck to the rear or slowing down enough form drag to cause failure to feed and OBD. To get mine running I had to round the top face of the hammer and bend the hammer springs to reduce the spring power. Another problem I ran into was I rounded my hammer too much and now semi is 2 round burst. No clue if it’s a hidden feature or a problem now lmao.
Anyways if anyone has a .22 Conversion upper and wants to test it out just search my name on the sea! ANY info from other peoples testing would be appreciated!

Built a Stiletto 19x, but put a G23 slide on it, would their be any strength issues or issues in general on the frame?

The Ark @fosscad.io Pa6 print got knocked off with brim
Originally posted by u/DishonorableAsian at 2025-06-14T10:48:34Z
From my post yesterday I was having adhesion issues until everyone's input. Woke up this morning to check on it, and at 86% the taller piece got knocked free from the brim. Before it got knocked off, both pieces actually look great. What do you guys think caused this? And what's another way to try again?
Bambu a1 in a tent, filament dried at 100c, fed from a filament dryer at 70c, 300 nozzle temp and 100c bed temp (its what fixed the adhesion issues from yesterday. Used a .6 nozzle but had a few recommend going down to .4, would this help?
The Ark @fosscad.io Suppressors sailing
Originally posted by u/sanfte8 at 2025-06-14T10:23:59Z
I designed two very simple suppressors a while ago. A short one for .22lr and a bigger one for an airgun. I only made my own design so I could add serial numbers and other mandatory stuff when printing them. I didn't think people would be interested in them but I keep getting questions about the files, so now I finally uploaded them on the sea. You can find them if you search for "two simple suppressors"
The Ark @fosscad.io Super Safety Binding Issue
Originally posted by u/TopResolution6366 at 2025-06-14T05:29:32Z
Plenty of issues with another SS (will make more posts about the other one), but I had this one working for 500+ rounds. All of a sudden the bolt hits a dead stop with an audible and deep metal on metal thud sound when reaching the middle of the bolt cycle OR it binds up. Any advice as to how to fix this?
I already sanded the curve slightly in the trigger, dremeled the upper shelf as well as lower even though I have a low shelf lower, dremeled the flat top of the lever, installed and uninstalled everything 10+ times, and swapped 3 different cams and levers out to troubleshoot. I have also tried it with 3 different lowers, 5 uppers, 5 bolts, and 3 pre-cut triggers. Used paint pen to mark parts in an attempt to diagnose where binding occurs. I’m at my wits end - please help me.
