The post whore thread.

[TheBelly]

Oh, I get it from the employer and Mil standpoint, I was just trying to show some sympathy. For those of us who've been there trying to hang up the cammies, it sucks knowing you gotta get unemployed before you can even start getting employed. I think we can agree that at least Flyboy is doing it the smart way, and thanks to some of the membership here. (pat yourselves on the back now.)


I will never be flat out unemployed. I'll walk in with my ETS papers and DD214.

I've got three different plans for life after the Army. I'm glad that I'm young enough to still put in a good amount of work into a 2nd career, but also I'm broken enough that can't do anything too adventurous. I'm thankful that my adventurous days are in my past.

in case anyone cares, I have 18 different referred conditions that the VA is looking at.

memory loss and new memory retention issues due to TBI. that's kinda sweet.

I need to form1 another SBR. This will not be another 5.56. I need to get on the 300BLK bandwagon.

Go for broke and get the 9" AAC or ???

What say the hive?

I'm waiting on a F1 for a 30cal can. Been pondering a 300 upper. Why not slap a 300 upper on one of your existing SBR's ? If you like it then F1 another lower.
Regarding what can, what have you road tested to make sure,that's the one for you. I have a 45 YHM Cobra, it sees most of it's time on my rossi 357. It may be a 45 can, to say I'm not impressed using it on a 45, is an understatement.

It'd be great if I knew enough about this kind of stuff to contribute.....but the aforementioned condition that I mentioned a few posts back, kinda covers it.

At the same time though, I did laugh out loud at MC and Bobs comments about that. You guys are alright.

I already have an 762-SDN-6, which is also why I'm leaning towards the 9" AAC upper.

Have a 556-SD for the 5.56 uppers going into jail (well, as soon as the damn form4 gets mailed).

I submitted one earlier 5.56 7.5", just kicking the can on the other right now. I'm just itching to get two more lowers SBR so I have something new to diddle with. As if I have time to go the the range anyway...

The weather put a serious dent in range time. But I'm getting around to resolving that issue, hopefully. Hope the spouse isn't too disappointed when we look at some potential acerage.

Day went sideways, had nine cats in the air at once.

Then the on-site work I had intended to get done 6-8PM (fabric zoning cleanup someone's mess) got sidetracked with a request for help on an unrelated issue. Hmmm, mega errors on the ports. Hmmm, VERY low receive power on both ends. Check the cabling. Turns out they ran and connected single mode fiber to short wave SFP's. Derp.

Well, my face is no longer bearded. That disappeared a long time ago actually.

I moved cross county with a 2 week old baby. She did better than we thought thought. Have gotten to play with and be sent to training to learn how to use some super fun toys at work. The department has had a 3D printer for 2yrs and I'm the first one to actually use it beyond pulling it out of the box. What did I print? I spent about 1mo printing (and failing lots) parts to build myself a 3D printer (RepRap). It is finally complete and printing some excellent parts. Yes, I plan to eventually print an AR15 lower receiver with it.

Also, life sucks when you can't go to the shooting range. I miss it dearly and am itching to go shoot stuff! This is partly why I haven't been logging in here, because you guys make me want to go shooting. Started grad school on Monday in addition to work. Have a supermega cold and I was the last in my house to get it, so baby is feeling better, wife is feeling better but I feel like crap. Uh, I think that's about it for now.

You still have to buy all of the electronics, motors and then assemble it all together. But I dare say it was more fun to assemble than building an AR15 from scratch (including upper). With that said, as an engineer I have already found numerous flaws in the design I made and am designing my own printer from scratch now that I know the in's and out's of them. The design I'm making will also be easy to quickly disassemble and move around (such as take on a plane down to Chile with me...).

sweet baby jesus. So I could buy a 3d printer for roughly the price of an AR. I like it, and need one

[thvigil11]

http://reprap.org/

The problem comes when your printer decides you are the problem and sucks you out into space or puts you in a tube and uses you as a battery. (I might have got that from a movie though)

I actually built a CNC wood mill once. (Down in Las Cruces actually) My friend handled all the electronics and computer stuff. I built the table, frame and rail system for it. It's been going strong for many years at his wood shop.

Were the flaws you found in the mechanical side or electronic/comp side?

[Great-Kazoo]

Whores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

You back from never never land ?

[BuffCyclist]

Entirely mechanical.

For instance, they put the extruder/extruder-motor/extruder-nozzle on the end of essentially a diving board. So it flexes like crazy and precision is affected. They used bronze bushings on steel shafting, which is good when things are cut with a CNC and the holes are truly concentric. But when the bushing holders came out of the printer, it took me 2 days to get them aligned so the mounts (with 2 bushings per side mounted on) to move freely along the shaft (ie fall down a vertical shaft when held at top and let go). The linear guide rails and carriages they used were plastic, so I can't clamp the extruder carriage down enough to ensure it won't move when the x-axis motor belt tugs on it in either direction. The z-axis motor mounts are not gusseted, so they flex under the weight of the motors/shafting. The flexible shaft coupling for the z-axis introduce a spring like effect since the bottom of the leadscrews are not supported. So the distance between the threaded nut and the motor could change depending on how fast the motor changes direction. The glass build plate is overconstrained (by a clamp) that doesn't allow it to expand/contract as it heats/cools. This introduces a rise/fall in the center of the plate when the heater turns on/off to maintain a set temperature (70degC). Uh... I'm sure there are a dozen more but can't think of them at the moment.

I see.... Sounds like the majority of the issues deal with too much flex in the system. Looks like a cool project you've got though. I'd be interested to see how you fix these issues while at the same time providing a quick disassemble feature.

Heya buffalobo [Wave]

I might be able to check in here every once in a while during work. I really don't have any free time at home anymore, which is when I used to hang out here the most.

[BuffCyclist]

I see.... Sounds like the majority of the issues deal with too much flex in the system. Looks like a cool project you've got though. I'd be interested to see how you fix these issues while at the same time providing a quick disassemble feature.

Yea, quite a bit of flex on a few key areas. The quick disconnect is basically disconnecting the z-axis uprights from the x and y-axis base. The issue is constraining the z-axis shafts so that they don't change in relation to one another or the bed once reinstalled.

[BuffCyclist]

Oh yea, did I mention that I printed my first gun part the other day? I made a couple picatinny rail clips (aka index clips). Best of all, I can customize them with initials across the top. Still working on the design for a knurling that comes out well during printing.

[HoneyBadger]

I bet you guys didn't even notice I was gone!

[gohome]

HEY FIRE CROTCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D


We definitely missed ya! Every few weeks, somebody asked about you. Glad to see you back. [Beer]

[BuffCyclist]

Heya HB [Wave]

Thanks for reelin' me back in, I kept feeling guilty that I replied to your PM then never logged back in. Besides, I missed the randomness!

[brutal]

Hey BC, good to see you pop in.

I wish I had the stuff, time, and motivation to do some of that cool engineering stuff.

[HoneyBadger]

Anyho's, did anyone get banned while I was gone?

Hahahaha Yep!

[HoneyBadger]

JM, reincarnated got whacked again.

Not sure about any others.


ColoCCW got the hammer... but he is back with a different username... not sure how that worked out. The Gods Mods must be feeling generous!

[Irving]

But only a temp ban. He's back and he got his new name.

[Irving]

Congrats, Man! That's really good news.



Anyone here a Dave Ramsey fan?

I developed a successful plan to get out of debt. It worked so well for me that I started trying to teach it to friends. Then when I finally looked into Dave Ramsey I saw that my plan was exactly the same as his get out of debt advice.

Kind of like that time I was learning to play guitar in high school and came up with this chord progression that I thought sounded pretty good, only to find out it was the same as Hotel California by The Eagles.

Yeah. It makes perfect sense, but it takes self control and requires a level of maturity that most "adults" these days simply don't have.

I've only listened to a few episodes on the radio, but I downloaded his podcast so I'll have something useful to listen to on my 1.5hr round trip commute every day. Definitely a good guy with good values and it's encouraging to hear that other people's financial situations are much worse than mine, but there is still so much hope! Before I ever heard of him, I developed my own method for paying my bills. I developed a very detailed budget spreadsheet in excel that tracks every penny spent and projects several months into the future, as well as keeping track all the way back to 2010. I also do something similar to his "snowball" to pay off debt: Pay the highest interest loan first, then when that's done, pay more into the next one. Due to changing family circumstances, we are no longer living below our means, and with our move to CA in May, I will barely make enough to pay a mortgage or rent on a place out there... Not very encouraging, but in 5 months, I'll get approximately a $350/mo raise and in 9 months, We'll have some significant loans paid off ($1,200/mo). After that, the only money I will owe is the mortgage (or mortgages, depending on if we rent or buy in CA), so that's good, right? Then hopefully we can build a real savings account and contribute to our retirements.

Not at all. He's a low life cunt instead of manning up, chose to fuck another board member / gun owner over. He''s disappeared from arfcom too. Unfortunately there are a few members / business owners who give everyone else a bad name.
I'm probably more pissed about it than SSB. Considering i've seen his post[s] on the web touting how much of a stand up guy he is. I despise slimy douche bags who fuck people over under the guise of being a Bro.

Totally agree. I think you misunderstood my snark.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Heya GG.

Happy Friday fellers.

[mcantar18c]

Well, found a job to hold me over till I get going with the stuff I really want to do. Apparently they decided to hire me after a brief phone conversation, the day before I actually interviewed (yay me)... cool.
Now that I have a little cash flow I can focus on actually starting my career.

[Great-Kazoo]

Totally agree. I think you misunderstood my snark.

Oh I understood your reply.
I had a person decide he was going to make a right turn from the left lane, in front of us today. He thought it was funny, I on the other hand found no humor in it. Then proceeded to make him aware of my feelings . The spouse however kept a cool head and logic prevailed, versus a potential ............

Thus my semi coherent rant .

Definitely not FIGMO... By the end of today, I'll have worked almost 60hrs in 5 days... and that doesn't account for the 2 snow delays we had, or the 1.5hr round-trip daily commute.

It just wears a man down when you leave home at 5am and get home at 7pm or later.

Lobo, I know you're probably familiar with The Burro King off Smith? They do have some interesting things over there, and if you order anything *hot*, plan on taking a break halfway through the experience.

You probably also know that The Silver Fox shut it down. That totally sucks, it was a great place to grab a beer and they had really good mexican food there. Had the #5 from there a whole bunch of times....I'll miss the place for sure.

Good job with the Roth. I only put in a little bit each month, but it certainly still helps.

Hi OBC.

I'm pretty sure I just heard three distinct gunshots (rifle) outside, about 10 seconds apart. I suppose it could be left over New Years fire works, but I don't think so. I went outside and expected my neighbors to be out there, but neither of them were.

Everyone around me that does uses air rifles that while loud, I wouldn't hear from inside. We're about to watch Band of Brothers, so even if stuff is going on outside, we're not likely to know about it.

Band of Brothers is a good series, Irving.

The Green Mile just started on AMC...great show. Yet another Hanks film that impresses me.
