Going through a couple cad classes, most of the time I think people just need that “click” moment and then you’re off to the races. Once sketch -> solid clicks, you’re golden and can figure everything out from there with the right search terms. Just pick a simple project with a good beginner tutorial video to familiarize yourself, like a bracket. Then you’ll find surface modeling and all the other niches when you get some funky projects going.

Time to learn cad :) it’ll take you 30 minutes to YouTube, chop, and export to print if it’s not crazy geometry.
Yes please post results :) have seen quite a few requests over the years for ecm of smaller calibers.
Oh no! I have to use my desktop to sign up! Impossible! - average response to Lemmy.
It’s literally what Reddit should have been to avoid enshittification in the first place. It’s better in so many ways.

To my knowledge this is usually caused by hammer-follow, or a stuck firing pin.
As the bolt closes home, if the firing pin is stuck it can detonate the primer prematurely.
Or if the trigger reset sear is not catching the hammer and holding it until you release the trigger, the hammer can follow the bolt home rather than being held down until you release the trigger, thus hitting the firing pin before the bolt is fully in battery
That’s wild, you okay? Never seen it before, what trigger group are you using? Check your sear and trigger reset function.
I had hammer ignition success in small rifle standard primer cups and anvils using the head of strike anywhere matches plus grinding off the strike surface and mixing in a roughly 50:50 ratio.
Nice! Super useful thank you

I see what you did there.
With CNC routers that can cut aluminum being the price of a decent printer, I hope to see a lot more metal in the fosscad space.
Ah gotcha. What exactly was wrong with it and how did you notice?
What’s the toothed profile you used? Off the shelf?
210 for grey, although I think the black tends to want a lower temp for the same settings
