Decimator/DecimatAR with OEM barrel in c/help

[–] hogleg 2 points 4 weeks ago

I wanted to make sure I updated this for anyone following down the road. I didn't realize what the problem was until I printed the actual R2 Galileo barrel nut and compared; the hole for the barrel on the R2 was much wider than the Decimator v3. I dropped a 23.2mm negative cylinder into the center of the Dv3 barrel nut and it resolved the problem. I've not got any experience with printed barrels to compare, but I imagine their OD is narrower than the widest portion of the factory barrels I was working with.

Hey, thanks again for the assistance! I didn't get back to this for awhile; life things. I left an update up at the top for anyone in the future.

Any interest in building out archives of fosscad as a browsable resource? in c/general

You're too kind! I didn't think I would ever actually need any of them, to be honest. Was preparing for a "grid is down" scenario, not a memory-hole situation.

It's unfortunate that we're entering a period where knowledge is actively suppressed.

So much the better than you've got this forum for us. I don't know when they new subreddits are going to catch the banhammer, but I sure would like to see people migrate off a corporate platform. No freedom in a company town.

I appreciate it! I'll throw him a few bucks for his work and guide. Wouldn't want to see that become standard in fosscad or a lot more people would end up losing fingers, I think :p

Beautiful! Not only do we have the knowledge saved, but with any luck, we'll catch some of those people who would otherwise wander off into the void.

Yeah, I ran into the same thing with the orientation; got farther after orienting it vertically, but like you said, he had a reason for the original orientation.

And I have not done that; I've never even heard of the calilantern. I will for sure give that a go. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm dialed in on flow ratio, pressure advance, e-step, as far as I can tell and I've got several other successful prints. None of them using printed threads like this, though. I'll see if I can bend his ear about it.

I have been incapable of finishing a decimator build with an OEM barrel; 2 different OEM barrels as a matter of fact.

I've reprinted the upper twice (once because I wasn't sure if I just really messed up the print, once for stripping barrel nut threads) and I've reprinted the barrel nut 3-4 times at this point.

I started this build just before fosscad was nuked, and since the Ark is back up (https://forum.guncadindex.com/c/ark@fosscad.io), I was able to see that there are threads where others have had this issue.

Has anyone overcome this issue personally? The build looks great and I love the AR fcg but I'm hitting a wall here. Should I just drill and pin the barrel nut with a couple of set screws?

Submissions are in git, but comments still have awhile to cook. Wanted to stay up for them tonight but I don't think they'll be done til morning. I'll check in when they're uploaded.

Oh, that's awesome, thanks! Grey Summit Gear has actually got a lot of this built out; I'm working on getting the last couple years of data ready and then he can finish rebuilding the fosscad sub at https://forum.guncadindex.com/c/ark@fosscad.io

Just a heads up; I was able to finish pulling down the archives, but it's going to take awhile to parse; wasn't expecting to need this much storage touching my compute lol. I'm hoping I can have those ready for upload tonight or early tomorrow AM.

I just restocked but I'll definitely use this link next time.

Hey, if you hadn't built this platform for us, it wouldn't be happening. Seeing a bit of the old internet come together really warms my cold, dead heart.

Apologies if crossposting is against the rules; I'm not entirely sure where the lines are drawn here yet.

I posted this in lemmy.fosscad (fosscad@lemmy?), but realize that may not be the most active venue.

I grabbed archives of fosscad and took a look at the contents of the zst's. I think I could probably rebuild the contents of the subreddit in some manner or another; the question is scale and hosting. How would we make the posts easily searchable, where would they live, what endpoint can we upload hundreds of thousands of comments into in a reasonable time frame... all that fun stuff.

The archives don't contain pictures, but contain links to the pictures and the ones I've checked are currently still live (meaning the pics are still hosted on reddit). Dunno how long that will remain the case.

I have no idea what the size of the archives would be with pics downloaded; gigs, a TB, no clue. I'm posting this to gauge public interest and I haven't done much preliminary work (oh, these are json. Yep, dictionaries work. Wingo.)

Is there any interest in making this more publicly available? I've run into an issue with a particular build and I'll be diving through the archives to fix it for my self. It seems like a shame that all this information would be inaccessible to everyone who isn't able or interested in trawling through their own local archives.

I'm not a programmer by trade, but work in an adjacent space. I can plink along on this if other people are interested (and if anyone is interested enough to help pitch in, even better).
