    Tips/Techniques Looking for easy removable thread locker

    Either orange plumbing Teflon tape or Wibra-Lock tapes....this all the friction I would need by finger ... not more than finger tight +1/4. But as much consistent as possible... so far I have not tried WL tapes.

    Tips/Techniques Looking for easy removable thread locker

    Many good advise but not really for my parts. Early in the morning I will visit one Bolts Store in next city 20 minutes away, if they have some smaller package samples of whatever can advise to try ...

    Tips/Techniques Looking for easy removable thread locker

    My airgun projects often need disassembling, and especially one 1/2"x2" fully threaded SS tube that connects two - steel and aluminum pipe parts - on each end, makes me problems. Usually when I unscrew one side pipe (aluminum) that SS threaded tube ends inside the wrong part (inside aluminum...

    3D Scanning large Boats

    Back in time between 98 to 04 I had a part time job (beside my a full time work schedules) for wife's uncle company. He had a big contract for one of Magna, to design and build automation lines and robotic stations. 2 years and multi million dollar project, to finance the project he had to...

    Reverse Engineering from a 3D Scan with Fusion360

    Even for $20K don't expect much from a 3d scanner. It is not meant for revers engineering no matter what they say, you still need to do the CAD manually. 3d scanners are mainly for duplicating with 3d printers, for figurino's :) I've been exposed first time to scanners back 20+ years ago, many...

    Supplies Picatinny cutting tools?

    I have one of the biggest gunclubs in North America 15 minutes from my house. A season - over summer months I am visiting 2-3 times a week, each time at least 200 shots, or a bit more :). This why I am shooting ariguns, the amo is much less cost per a thousand or per say 10K shots a year. From...

    Supplies Picatinny cutting tools?

    I have learned that a 24/7 training and practising , with an endless home work in tuning and at least a 10-15 K shots per year can put your name in a first 20 on the list. You learn how to read the wind and that increase your chances to get you in a first 10. But to get your name in a first 5...

    Tips/Techniques Which printer to buy advice needed

    You did not say it what 3d printer platform, assuming based on your note that is a FDM. I have a SLA, from same Creality... The machine is well built and solid good design mechanically, but the Tech Support is a real clusterfock. Creality Halot Sky is much better built mechanically then my...

    If you need any higher level CAD work....

    You can contact me. I've been in engineering consulting jobs since '04 as a self employed, all time worked for biggest OEM in North America and mostly these were private companies. Semi retired now and feel bored but most importantly I need to brainstorm, no TV and wife is at work during day...

    Supplies Picatinny cutting tools?

    The accuracy....need a pile of luck as well don't trust Utubers. At 100 meters a 1" group of 5 shots will not place you in competition, projecting it to further distance, at 200 meters need to hit consistently a 4" plate and 6" at 300 meters. So, people who compete need a micron tolerance on the...

    Supplies Picatinny cutting tools?

    Yes, .22 Leshiy2 @50 meters and .25 Impact @100 meters, this one I planning to make a stronger backbone for higher power to reach 200 and 300.

    Supplies Picatinny cutting tools?

    Many of you made a valid point. Buying a finished rail is a most cheapest option, but getting complicated attaching multiple parts. I still need to outsource the mounting. Yes, this is for an airgun, but :) it is a high precision for shooting and scoring target rings at longer ranges @ 100 and...
