That's really cool. I do not need one of those! I could build a Glock 7!! Do ya think it could print a shotgun stock and be solid enough to hold up??
He wanted that toolbox for himself. The employees resale that kind of stuff. Also, the locals jump fences all the time. Best way in Milton for getting your own scrap metal for free is to sit outside the dump or on the way to the dump (like on Galt City Road or down by Sonic on 90) with a truck or trailer on the public right of way. People will give it away to you one piece at a time all day long, just to avoid paying by the pound to dump it. I made a hundred bucks a day on average doing this when I was laid off from construction after the housing bubble burst. I never did go on unemployment then, and I don't believe in it. I will say I panicked once when I got laid off from land surveying, but by the time I registered and got my first check, I already had a job making twice as much as land surveying. Collecting scrap metal has gotten me through more than one bind
It is definitely a dirty job,and not safe as far as heavy metals poisoning and fluids and tetanus goes. And a good way to ruin a good truck, fast. It is worth buying an old $2,000 junk truck for, though. You'll pay off the truck with scrap metal in your spare time in less than a year. I used a gas powered 460 F250 I bought on Palafox for $2,500. And I kept my nice vehicle nice.
Yes! If you get it dialed in and use the right filament. I’m not going to post all of my builds though lol My hot end went out the other day and I haven’t replaced it yet. After that I’ll be seeing about an adjustable stock print. The cool thing is there are a few different plastics you can use for different applications. And free print files all over the place if you don’t want to create it yourself. Thingiverse for print files and Tinkercad to make things from scratch. If you get dialed in on your machine settings you can print some pretty decent things. The grips in my pics are store bought quality. The hand guard takes a long time to print so I haven’t messed too much with it but it printed 90% perfect. The area where the two pieces touch warped during the print. Nothing you can do about it on a 30+ hour print though. Honestly the ammo boxes cost about as much as store bought ones so they aren’t cost effective bust still cool.
Brilliant! The ability to make things, including a living, is what we need! Reduce,re-use and recycle are very important. Let's add work, build and invent. Oh, if I find a scrap source I'll let you know. I know plenty of folks who have a stash but I might as well ask to date their daughter and Is she on birth control.
