The goal weight is between 325 and 350 grams. The bolts I pour are usually on the high side of that, around 340 or so.

Printing with Privacy on Bambu (forum.guncadindex.com)

Flashforge's recent threats to the 3D2A community have revived the discussion around privacy in printing. How do we ensure that our printers aren't spying on us, blocking us from printing and tattling on us to the feds?

I made a video reviewing three techniques you can use to protect your privacy and keep yourself safe when using Bambu printers. These techniques can extend conceptually to other printers too.

Very good to know!

Out of curiosity, how has this build performed for you? The SCS version I mean - I know the SS design itself works. I don't feel like I ever saw many reports on its actual performance, but I hope it's good!

SMP40 Release - Printable MP40 (forum.guncadindex.com)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Alyosha@forum.guncadindex.com to c/general@forum.guncadindex.com

The SMP40 from Black Lotus Coalition is live! The SMP40 is a printable MP40 clone that uses an aluminum tube receiver and AR9 parts.

Optional features include super safety support, a folding stock and a two-position charging handle, making it the most accurate MP40 clone available. This build is as close to the original as we can get without stamping it and machining every part by hand.

I would suspect the right way to work our way towards a fully DIY intermediate caliber design is to handle one part at a time. So start with a design that only DIYs the barrel, or the bolt, etc., then progressively step towards turning more parts from commercial to DIY.

I'd be curious to hear more about your ECM taper idea. What can you share about that?
