There'll be a rain cover. This case is just for testing airflow, internal ducting and nozzle positioning. I'm already working on a redesigned version with a bunch of changes.
-
First third prototype casing assembled. Not had chance to wire it up yet to test the fan's performance. If airflow is sufficient (it might not be - it's a 5V 4020 fan that was sent to me in error, I could end up with a 12v 50mm fan yet), I'll integrate a battery and add loops to the main body for bungee retention to the Arc rail.

That looks really good on there. Do you know what material it's printed in? Looks like PLA? Moving on to my next project - Helmet-mounted fan. Basically my knockoff version of the ExFog. I'll be printing this prototype tomorrow for fan fitment/airflow testing - If it works I'll add an integrated battery box and some cosmetic updates to 'pretty' the thing up for the final design.

lol. He posted it yesterday too...?

It's in his post: I'm guessing he means these guys: https://airsoftdirect.uk.com/

Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
Speedbird_666 replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
Interesting title to his Advert. Again, I wonder if some of these sellers take a punt on the fact that kiddies without a defence are willing to pay a premium to bypass the whole 'three games' thing. -

Personally, I'd rather buy a new one from a reputable vendor for the same price than trust my dosh to some dude that registered on the forums 12 hours ago. On the other hand, I have a valid defence, which i would assume is something this seller isn't too worried about. That reminds me. I really want a TM Gen 4 Glock. I must get round to ordering one. -
This video from the timestamp 4:25 covers it: I only ever really use Hobbyking Turnigy LiPos, but they don't have any 2s LiPo stocked in the UK Warehouse. I've tried Vapextech, but they just don't hold the voltage under load compared to Turnigy. Giant Power is pretty good from what I've heard - I know a few RC guys that use Giant Power packs on model aircraft. They've been around for a while now, I would be reasonably confident that they can get the job done for Airsoft guns. I reckon this one will fit the gun, but I would get a ruler out and double check the stock internal measurements before ordering. The S65 is still a really good charger for the money. Whilst there are some fancier looking units (and complete overkill for Airsoft), it's still a solid choice.

It's Classic Army, the gun come with Deans as standard with a Deans to Mini Tamiya adapter. I would be using a 2S 1200-1300 mAh battery - room is limited in the stock due to the metal slider bar assembly. 3S is fine apparently for the gearbox, but I have heard of Classic Army Mosfets blowing quite quickly, so I would keep the overall wattage down.

I love sewing machines. I have two down my shed. I use them to sew things - like ripped school uniform for the kids. I've been learning to make kites (another hobby) with ripstop nylon. Planning to make a 6ft Rokkaku kite and stick a camera on it... Oh....you mean AEGs...my bad....

Looking to visually upgrade my gun need some advice
Speedbird_666 replied to Raytd's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Yes, you can use that stock, but the G&G stock you linked to has a smaller battery storage area (read:zero) compared to your King Arms. I would recommend the PTS EPS stock if battery storage and easy access are top requirements. They are more expensive, but the quality is outstanding and they hold their resale value if you choose to sell it on at a later date. -
Yeah, I know it's diminishing returns from a pure strength perspective, but being solid plastic adds some weight/heft and allows arbitrary drilling without crushing/smashing the Infil. And PLA+ is cheap.
-
I don't just need a bigger window. I need a set of steps up and down. ?
-
Like fuck it will. Wall thickness of the Specna 'Quality' body is really thin, even for Airsoft Standards - I have a stripped Edge receiver sat in front of me right now that I'm just putting back together. Again.

Specna 1 series (not edge) handguards
Speedbird_666 replied to RonLancs's topic in General Discussion
It will probably fit. I doubt it'll be a great fit, but it should mount nonetheless. The RS KAC RAS has a 'claw' that clamps over the gas tube onto the delta ring, along with a sprung clip on the front of the rail that tucks under the front hand guard cap . Many cheapo rails do not have either of these. Decent airsoft replicas do have these features. I had a Lonex gun which had a KAC RAS style rail that exactly mirrored the real steel and it was rock solid. -

Do you mean the mock bolt? -
Specna 1 series (not edge) handguards
Speedbird_666 replied to RonLancs's topic in General Discussion
I'm sure a RAS with drop in if it's using a standard Delta Ring. I would consider the RAS 2 - where there is a stabilising section of RIS that bridges the receiver and RAS Rail. Stops wobble which is quite common with this type of handguard. https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/ares-ris-front-end-ras-2-kit---save-pound6650 -

TBH, if I hadn't just bought a bunch of upgrades for my 3D printer, I would of had it off you. Best of luck with the sale, I'm sure it'll go soon. -
The OP specified the GC16, which is metal-bodied. Likely to be stronger than the Specna as it's billet-styled with extra girth around the rear of the lower The CM variant is plastic bodied, which to be honest is just as good (if not better) as Specna's metal bodies in terms of strength (I have both right in front of me to compare). I would buy the G&G (Plastic) along with a Perun ETU++ personally. You get most of the features of the Aster (no dongle required!!), and G&G's QA/QC is generally better.

@Shamal Took a while, but I think I've got it working good now (just tested it for 100+ cycles). Needed a few iterations and testing of the print orientation to maximise strength, the first prototype snapped instantly on a layer line with a vertical print, horizontal print was too flexible so ended up at 45deg. I beefed up the part thickness and added a strengthening rib running down the length it. I also had to extend the tab that hits the dust cover by 1MM for reliable opening. I'll print some more of the final design in the next few days so you'll have spares.
-
Yeah - I guessed as much ? Me and my boys have been playing SWAT4 on LAN over the last week or so. My older two (who also play Airsoft) like to play it 'proper' tactical; stacking on doors, breaching and banging rooms, arresting suspects and screaming 'room clear!' over Discord. My youngest on the other hand equips the grenade launcher and shotgun, runs around killing everyone (including us and the hostages) declaring it's 'slow and boring' compared to Fortnite. Bloody kids.
-
lol, one copy not enough? Reviews seem solid though - it looks like a lot of fun. Not that I can get anywhere near the two Xboxes in my house to actually play games these days...bloody kids.
-
@Shamal I've knocked up the design in CAD. I'll print a test one this afternoon and see how it fits. If I can get the design to work properly in the gun I'll send you a couple for the price of postage?

I like the cut of your jib good sir. Just watching a video on the Primary Arms HPA/M4 mag conversion. I like.
