Personally I would need some verifiable hard evidence before straying from manufacturer’s recommendations. I would put much merit on a random internet comment, what are the chances of him actually testing his claims effectively?

Printing too hot can absolutely cause degradation, even to layer adhesion. I would personally advise you stick to the manufacturer’s upper limit with very little or no part cooling fan if maximum layer adhesion is your main goal. Stringing and other issues might cause you to lower your printing temperature.

I remember watching a Hoffman Tactical video where he tested and found that optimum layer adhesion for PLA+ was around 210, lower than the 220 max temp. I can’t find the video.

I haven’t built anything from scratch, but if I was going to it would be the Uratau.

I highly recommend a Dillon progressive press with a minimum of the automatic powder dispenser. You really want to be able to crank out the volume for all of those calibers. If you had said you just wanted it for hunting or precision shooting, I would say cheap out for the single stage presses like a Lee. Dillon has really good customer service, I would give them a call.

In summary, save up for the Dillon.

Agreed. I really hope Lemmy takes off in the space.

Check the documentation, but I’m 95% sure it’s just for looks. Aluminum that thin wouldn’t do much. It’s only a .22 as well, virtually no .22 cans need reinforcement. I know for a fact the FTN series .22 version does not need reinforcement for example.

Will you make a post when you cut the v1.0 release? I’ve got a spare 2TB HDD ready for this.

I’ll respond since no one else has - this is not my area of expertise.

I know new iPhones have lidar in them. I’ve got a 12 and it is definitely not good enough to capture small objects with that much detail. If you have a much later iPhone, I would at least try that since it’s free.

Even still, that will probably just net you a better starting point for CAD’ing the file. It sounds like this might be what you’re looking for.

Hope this helps.
