It could help..Kaewon also noted in guide to make sure to get a lot of jb weld under the threads and I didn't do that. Will follow directions better on attempt 2

Possibly depending on how it's done. The issue he experienced was bad attachment to the liner. Rough of the liner surface and make sure there is enough epoxy should work for most devices. I haven't had issues with my kvp modular comp ez can. If you can maximize surface area of the liner attached to the muzzle device, it would require more force to remove. With threads, that means more threads which isn't really possible for most muzzle devices. Or use a muzzle device that attaches onto more liner length.

Another alternative that is used on other designs is a thicker barrel sleeve so the printed part alone has the strength to hold 22, which doesn't require much, rather than relying on the epoxy. Others have done this along with a metal adapter to have metal threads.

Anyone who has printed small threads know they are kinda terrible. It's best to screw whatever on and just leave it. It's one of the reasons I made QD for ez cans so you can just attach a brake and leave the threads alone.
