re written with ai to protect typing fingerprint
I’m working on a custom form 1 suppressor using Obsidian 9 airsoft host. I’ve settled on a baffle stack for the end piece. Since the Obsidian design allows for modular disassembly into smaller suppressors, I’m considering a dual-system approach. I’m thinking of using a long, gyroid-style baffle after the blast chamber—this type seems popular in metal 3D printing. Has anyone experimented with this configuration? I’m curious about its performance and durability in this application and if it worth pursuing
I would think the material would be much too thin. Maybe you could try the fill multiline infill option? That should give it more thickness but even then maybe only for .22
I think gyroid baffles in metal cans work well becaus they create a ton of surface area for the metal to cool the gasses. That means the can absorbs more heat tho. With plastic cans I think the baffles would just melt faster lol. Maybe worth a shot with 22
Yes, I agree - it seems plausible. I believe they have a genuine opportunity for .22, so I’ll definitely research it further.
Gyroid baffles in 17-4 or inconel sure, but even in PA6-CF that’s going to be a no go. The material will simply be too thin and will either deform rapidly or break due to the forces especially if close to the blast chamber where pressures are the highest. What caliber are you making this for, barrel length, and what material/thickness is the airsoft suppressor? There’s a reason every 3D printed suppressors design that works for any reasonable number of rounds has thick walls and infill, you need that density to hold up to the pressure and forces at hand.
That’s really helpful, I’m grateful for the information. I’ll search for quality conventional baffles.
C’mon anything other than 100% infill on a suppressor? Those thin pieces aren’t gonna survive the blast in a polymer config.
