What have you made?

So even taller than the overbore systems night height.

Gotta say I’m interested, the GBRS “USS Enterprise” mount is fucking ugly as sin but I understand the concept.

Can you still get a decent cheek/chin weld without a mask on? I’m used to the unity height and having that 3rd point of contact.

Thank you! I've been trying to remember the name of a mount I saw a few months back and that's the one.

I've quickly knocked up a version with Overbore-style cuts - not perfect (the bottom triangle is slightly too small but I wanted to keep the large fillet for strength) but it gives the general impression.

As to your cheek weld question - I would say maybe not. That's something that gets lost with mounts this high, but as this dude says, cheek welds are thing of the past (yeah, it's a pretty bold statement that many would disagree with.)













 
Made a batch of SA80 QR sticker. One for the Sa80 and one for SUSAT. Both with the ARES serial numbers. 

I also used some clear stickers to place over the top like they do for real too to finish the look. 

OK the numbers wouldn't be right, and looking at making more. But they do work on othe platforms too as I have done with my gpmg. Top one mine, bottom is a real gpmg with code. View attachment 89921View attachment 89922

Here they are on my L22/susat and gpmg.

 
Just doing some quality-of-life tinkering before next week's game. Found an old ammo tin my dad used for fishing stuff, bit of a clean and spray here and there and it's now my new mag carrier, with space for oodles of mags and bbs.

Also made a couple of BB bags out of some soft goggle cases, cable ties and water bottles, they work great for carrying and dispensing BBs in the field.View attachment 90368View attachment 90369

 
Downloaded a KWA Ronin battery extension model from Thingiverse, but it was a bit shit and Fusion 360 is pretty rubbish editing STL files.

Ended up using the measurements and designed a new one that can take a chunkier RC LiPo of which I have many knocking about.

(Left = Thingiverse left, Right = mine)

Fatboi aint fat enough - it's a 3mm too shallow for my 2200mAh batteries....D'OH! Also experimenting with 'Fuzzy Skin' finishes in the slicer hence the texture:

Dusted off my old Solarforce lights (remember them?) to mount to my gun for CQB. I'm too tight to buy any of the gucci new lights you can get these days just for the odd bit of CQB, the Cree T6 drop-in Surefire clone units I've got may be chunky, but they are super bright. Anyway - I knocked up a tape-switch rail mounted holder:

My print quality is proper shit at the moment - been chasing down inconsistent extrusion issues for a few weeks now...?

Picking up a 2nd hand 3D printer tonight (£35!) so will be able to stand-down my Ender 3 for a week or two whilst I hunt down these gremlins.

 
Haha thats what i did with my old Smith goggles, worked very well, but not so easy on the X800s
