It is possible, at work I deal with acrylic more than I like to. A good cooling system is required. Ours is air cooled, most engineering millers will be liquid cooled. Special acrylic milling bits can be bought which leave a better finish than a standard bit would leave, or a diamond bit can be used to leave a pretty much clear finish. We use flam polishing on any acrylic we cut but this is not ideal for something like a gear box, due to small holes and tolerances. The heat would warp it all. A chemical dip would be better.

I have not been in a while, when it first opened it was a mental cqb site. Now, I just don't like it. Games get stale quick and not much game area. It won't be long before its closed.

My latest bit of diy. I wanted a lipo adapter for an aep, but could not justify paying the silly prices to buy one or sacrifice a battery. So I made one on my 3d printer, the contacts are just a bit of beer can for now. I plan on doing a new one, with copper contacts and tighter tolerances. Cost about 3p.

"Don't shoot me, I'm changing my battery", "Propane is more dangerous than green gas" and my favourite "Can I use metal bb's?".

Ahh monkey metal. I had to loctite the grub screw on my g&g a2. Kept falling out and of would pop the handle. I can see why these are readily available.

If the handle is metal, it may have rusted on. Give it a blast of wd-40, then allow it to soak. I would resist cutting it off as it may damage or snap the post it is attached to, which is a £25 replacement.

You can get plates that attach to your rails (if you have them) that will hold the pressure switch. If you have a magpul style handguard, there is also a clip available.

I'm working on something similar. What I have chosen for the power supply is one of those portable usb battery packs. They output at 5V 1a. I have then wired the fans to a usb cable. If the pack is small enough, you can then stuff it into a counterweight case and stick it to the back off your helmet.

Something like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxZmtQofC0s

If you don't mind, could you post some pictures of the electronics inside the peq box? I was thinking of getting one for a project.

Thanks for the reply shizbazki. You was right. I cut of a coil and got 345 then one more and got 335. Working brilliant now. I put in a m100 and it dropped to 300. All sorted just in time for next game day!

Okay. I'll just have to wait for the new springs to turn up. Rather annoying. Running it for about 9 months, as stock. Clean it all up for my first skirmish of the year and I get this. Oh well.

Just checked with hop fully off and averages about 348 over 10 shots. Hop fully on and 355 over 10 shots. If I short stroke the piston by a couple of teeth will this lower the fps enough?

I'll give it a good run through and see if it drops any. If not then I will drop in a new spring. Hopefully that will sort it. Cheers guys.
