  • True, though they are more common than you think, there’s still thousands of flights daily across the U.S. and where I live its the only mode of transportation in/out of a lot of communities. On thing that’s common though is a mod to allow the planes to run on car gas, 85 or better octane. That helps us and them (much cheaper) and a lot of modern small aircraft are moving to diesel piston engines like the Thielert engines.













  • Most 3d printed guns are constructed very similarly to “real” commercially available (in burgerland) guns that use a polymer construction. The plastic is taking very little of the force, they use metal inserts and rails that the mechanical parts connect to. This distributes the load a lot. I haven’t printed any yet, mostly because you basically need to buy a whole gun to build one, but they aren’t magic or anything and you could do the same thing with woodworking tools by hand if you had a lot of patience.






  • If you want to print with high temp materials the enclosure is a must, so it’s a huge change there, if all you do is PLA, PETG then it’s not as critical. But I still think the Bambu P1S bundle is the better deal, similar sized printer, similar motion system and ease of use, and you get the 4 spool AMS which is a game changer even if you don’t print multicolor. I want to love the prusa stuff but it’s just too expensive
