The OT thread V1

[PBSteve]

I'm not seeing it on the Gtek or the CS1, you sure you're not just talking about the torpedo on the LV1? That's what feeds the solenoid from the LPR.

Diamond paper the actual body of the gun?

I'm just hoping there's a new gun at all.

I noticed all the PE guns still have that internal hose that ends in a fitting at the front of the body. Does anybody know what that's for? IIRC it connected the solenoid to atmosphere, but I don't see why it couldn't be done by just venting to the inside of the gripframe.

it's because of how they drill the air passage from the Front Reg Mount to the solenoid. it's noticeable on all their guns except the newer ones because of the front grip.

it's in orange here

Oh, I thought he was talking abput the 1/16" cocker tubing.

[tyronejk]

Actually, I did think there was a tube in all the newer guns (including LV1, Geo 3.5, and Gtek 160R). But either way, you guys answered my question, thanks.

[PBSteve]

Anyone here familiar with any open source CAM software? It doesn't have to be good, just passable. Asking for a friend who's just doing some basic but too complicated for manual 3 axis operations.

[y0da900]

It isn't open source, but Fusion 360 is legitimately free and very powerful for what it is.

[Florypb505]

Ditto on the fusion 360. Actually if he is a student he can grab hsm works for free or inventor pro with hsm built it.

[PBSteve]

Cool, thanks guys, this is exactly what he needed.

so I just got into my apartment

bought a really nice modem/router combo (netgear nighthawk C7000) to save me from the $10/month modem rental fee

got everything hooked up and installed

I am paying for the top tier service that comcast is offering, 150 mbps

first thing I do after getting internet is go to speed test

1.5 mbps down, 12 up

that is literally 1% of the service that I am paying for lol

They oversubscribe 70:1 in most cases making unlikely you'll even burst to your purchased rate.
