Search the Ark https://fosscad.io/c/ark if you haven't yet. With PET-CF, you will get a lot of different opinions. PET-CF prints great under a wider arrange of settings, and you won't really know if the layers adhered until they snap.

When you find the settings you want to try, print something small and see how hard it is to snap along the layer lines. Then adjust. When in doubt, hot and slow with minimal cooling.

I tried a roll of Creality PPA-CF and had issues with it breaking during the last 200g or so. Three times it snapped coming off the spool in the dryer. It did print super good, though for the first 800g. I chalked it up to maybe needing to dry it more, but at its price I just stick with Siraya's core black.

I use Elegoo for PAHT-CF and Siraya Tech's Core Black for PPA-CF. My K1C print the Core version better than the standard version when it comes to their PPA-CF. I know a lot of people view Elegoo's stuff as lower quality, but if performs amazingly for me and my Kobra S1 can print it. The Kobra gives me all kinds of grief with PPA-CF though.

Really enjoy how PAHT-CF prints (forum.guncadindex.com)

I know everyone has their "go-to" filament(s) for various parts. For me with 2A, it is usually PLA+, PAHT-CF, and PPA-CF. What I have really enjoyed about this filament is how easy the supports were to dial in. They pop right off and leave a pretty good looking contact point.

My Urutau's bolt and upper receiver, both in PLA+, developed a crack recently and figured I might as well reprint the handgaurd while I was at it.

Super excited for this one. Safe to assume you will be selling hardware kits (if applicable) when it drops?

That's what I was curious about.....what downsides I wasn't seeing. Thanks for the insight!

Mirroring Reddit to Lemmy (forum.guncadindex.com)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Stuck7hrottle@forum.guncadindex.com to c/general@forum.guncadindex.com

So, how many of you bounce between the 3 Reddit subs and here? Well I guess now 2 Reddit subs and here. When r/fosscad got nuked, I started working on a way to mirror Reddit post to a Lemmy database. I couldn't find a working simple project other than Fediverser, and had trouble setting that up....so just made my own.

Anyway, is there any benefit to mirroring Reddit to here provided shitinator okays it? Currently I have it running as a two way bridge so people can comment on Lemmy or Reddit and it be mirrored both ways. Trying to humanize it more so it doesnt get banned, but the one way mirror version (Reddit to Lemmy Bridge) works great.

Basically this is just a poll to see if people here visit all the places and find it annoying enough to want to at least mirror Reddit to Lemmy so they only need to visit here. As a one way mirror, you would still have to go back to Reddit to comment, though. At least until I can keep the two way from getting banned.

My 5.56 is on a Hoffman SL-15 and my 300 Blackout is on a Kaewon Defiance remix. Both have held up extremely well, and I have yet to notice a performance decrease at all in either of them.
