Like needing to use a vpn to access?

Props for using freecad!

FGC-9 in my mind will always be relevant for being fully DIY with a 3D printer, cheap welder and hand tools. It’s still in use in Myanmar as far as I’m aware.

Any major improvements in the diy PCC category in my opinion will probably come in the form of reliability/longevity through the use of better tools and materials, namely cheap CNC machines and engineering filaments.

Is that an integral suppressor? I ft that’s the key feature of the design that could have had something to do with it. Hard to find testers when you had to pay the gov $200 and wait months for permission just to try it.

It doesn’t change anything about the bullets, but it does make it super safe

All features are machinable on cheap desktop CNCs in steel if you take light cuts, use standard 1/8” bits and 1/16” ball nose. Just need to change the geometry a bit. I really just need to make a post at this point.

The deep pocket in the cam or the lever is difficult but if you get it SLM printed from China with just that feature you can mill the rest.

I like your style, Mr. 2011 man.

I bought a pack of various sizes on Amazon. Springs are tough to size online.

The man, the myth, the legend himself.

Going through a couple cad classes, most of the time I think people just need that “click” moment and then you’re off to the races. Once sketch -> solid clicks, you’re golden and can figure everything out from there with the right search terms. Just pick a simple project with a good beginner tutorial video to familiarize yourself, like a bracket. Then you’ll find surface modeling and all the other niches when you get some funky projects going.

Time to learn cad :) it’ll take you 30 minutes to YouTube, chop, and export to print if it’s not crazy geometry.

Yes please post results :) have seen quite a few requests over the years for ecm of smaller calibers.

That’s clean for 1.6mm layers 🤪

Agree

Oh no! I have to use my desktop to sign up! Impossible! - average response to Lemmy.

It’s literally what Reddit should have been to avoid enshittification in the first place. It’s better in so many ways.

Welcome to the resistance. We should start posting the bonk meme on all the Reddit posts that don’t get posted here

Clean af

+1 for mlem

Nice! Super useful thank you

carve your own path here

I see what you did there.

With CNC routers that can cut aluminum being the price of a decent printer, I hope to see a lot more metal in the fosscad space.
