Anyone wanna see a video of @BME 's PP? ![]()
So…
what you’re saying is…
“Grease is the word, is the word, is the word…
In the grooves, its not leaving…
Grease all the time, in every place,
Grease is the word…!”
Awesome vid, and great fix on the latch.
You should show that to Xforce…
When latches break, they can be sent your way, for a super epoxy repair…
At an approriate charge. Your repair design.
People will Need it. It wont work, without it…
You gotta seriously wonder, How they allowed such a tiny thin Plastic latch, to hold it all together. ??
Anyway, goes like a rip snorter now. 280- 290 fps is perfectly fine.
I agree, M90 equivalent it is, for a flimsy gearbox…
Any interest for you now, grabbing one second hand …??
Great result…!
Some Rub’n’buff reqd, for the Sten …
Soon T.M.
I was watching BME’s PP earlier, then I had a visitor… ![]()
Interesting blaster, no words can describe better than a video or pics. ![]()
I burn a lot of wood Beemer, maybe I can help with the stock ![]()
Definitely a nice replica and now a better performer without axle grease and other tweaks ![]()
I know a few were asking about the GE Blitz launcher… and since I love a launcher, and had questions I got one for a review. Keeping it too!
There is a shorter retailer friendly version on iHobby’s channel… but here is the full “unsanitised” version ![]()
It doesnt fit CYMA and DB shells… though I am working on a 3d print that does!
Currently works, but the spring eject action breaks it, working on improving the model though I suspect my print settings are as much the issue here as the model lol
@Jug might know this one!
Thanks for letting me looks at your blaster mate.
Not the most detail rich job so I talked about springs and stories of old times. Enjoy!
What angle does the action work vs where it breaks on the model? if the print lines run in the same direction it will fail every time vs off set 45 or 90, also depending on the width of the internals you will want to up the walls and infill to help give more mass to the model so the layers can bond better.
Great video mate, very interesting and entertaining ![]()
It’ll get a serious run on Sunday after the upgrade repair and new RokHop
It is thin, but the opening action is very springy and snaps forward with a lot of force even with a grenade in it.
It has been breaking at the front of the screw area where there is a big rectangular cutout. I’ve rectified it somewhat in the model but haven’t had time to reprint it and test
Thanks mate, hope she runs well and serves you well. Thanks for the opportunity to tinker with it too
Try printing at full infill and orentatiing it so the lines are offset from the direction of force and see if that helps, otherwise time to start looking at stronger filaments.
Yeah, that latest vid is very entertaining, Rok… ![]()
Highlights the “screws in, screws out, screws in, screws out… ad nauseum” aspect of blaster repair beautifully, matey. ![]()
Relatable stuff right? Padded out with some information and silly stories- maybe a bit much!
Basic upgrade a Vector next week.
Beyond that, I have so much work to get through at the moment, so it will be whatever is quickest and easiest to edit!
Absolutely not, mate! ![]()
That’s what makes it so entertaining… like hangin’ out in the shed with mates, talking random shite.
Keep it comin’!
Oooh, a Vector… great timing much? I happen to have my Vector sitting on the dining table as we speak, dragged it out of it’s case yesterday arvee… thinking it’s time for a freshen up. ![]()
Looking forward to seeing that one to see what voodoo you apply to a KV. Great platform, love 'em. ![]()
Mine is broken
they are very much a weak point.
Not surprising…
it seems a matter of when, not if…
Thankfully, DocRok now has the solution sorted.
Get in touch with him, and i’m sure he can sort you out…
Worth the effort, for a upgrade as well…!!
Message me, the 3d printed piece seen in the video costs bugger all… basically pay for postage and I will send them. Or if ordering stuff from the AKgelblasterAU page, let me know and I will throw a couple in.
Long as you have the pieces, it should work. If not, email X-force and they do have some spare latches to start new.
Message sent
thanks
Oh hell yeah. Thank @RokSolid for the bearing install tool.
I might have to put the hammers away ![]()
