@aberdrew13 that would be cool! I was talking to a friend last night and he has an old Ithaca, and it ejects out of the bottom, that would be pretty sick to Modify, especially since it fires With the trigger kept pulled and going into battery!!!

@TheRogueBanshee I have a cheap home built kit one right now, I was going to grab an enclosed premade one like a davinci but I Have mixed feelings about them so for my initial buy to try them out, went with something that wasn’t expensive. I’m super happy with it, only thing I don’t have is the autoleveling bed. I’ve mainly just been making my own prototype grips and M-LOK Attachments. I’ll post some pics later, I’m happy with the quality of the prints. Do you have one? I also have a friend who works with ar500 steel for the mines and Cnc cuts it, so life is pretty good lol.

@Robert not yet, just finished moving in. I have an intro video on YouTube right now. I’m still trying to figure out how to be a producer on here. I’ll try later when I’m on the MacBook. Here’s the YouTube btw.

I am running an ender 3. Getting ready for my first round of upgrades. Upgrading my bed springs and putting in a MicroSwiss hot end. I like working with ABS and running that hot that long, I need to upgrade to an all metal hot end to keep the feed tube from off gassing. I would like to do an auto bed level but have other things in mind first. I usually live stream my printer on my YT channel when it is printing. It’s cool to have another 3Der here!

Welcome from near Raleigh NC, I’ve wondered if a 3d printer on a budget is worth it for hobbies or cheaper than a gun lol

@0null00 @TheRogueBanshee I’ll post a pic when I get home of my printer an Some pieces I printed out of it, it’s on my fridge at the moment lol. Still getting the war room put together :wink: honestly, my printer is a build kit from amazon and I think it was like $160-180. I like building things so I can better understand them. The quality isn’t the best but it isn’t horrible either. Plus, the quality of a build is based on my quality which I trust more than mass production. And with a little sanding and touch up work, anything can look good!

Awesome. Pictures would be cool. I have to clean up my setup so that I can do pictures. It’s a mess.

I just upgraded my Ender 3 with new bed springs and a Swiss Micro hotend. Been doing prints today and they are coming out pretty darn good.
