So the sound board turns out makes a great duck call., only had to increase scale and change tube. After spending more time trying to get another shape going. Returned to the Sika board and used the plastic business card instead of mylar and bingo.
 
Does assembly count?
 
Its trickier than it looks.
 
Oh I meant cause I assembled my M-16 from random parts, not sure if that counts.

- Colt M-16 lower reciever
- LMT upper
- Elisco tool barrel, machined to 11.5
- Elisco and random internals
 
The sound board is an iteration fit. The ones made from wood where an old guy who knows game intimately will have gradually sanded the shape down till it sounded perfect, I mean real perfect as in it sounds exactly like the game, but prior will have thrown away many dozens of sound boards and even when he finally renders one for sale it will still be sanded that less that .05 there and there along the hyperbolic plane, and we haven't begun to discus airflow via the channel including diameter and angle so the reed is energized for the correct rate of vibration. The reed's resilience another selective process.
A 3d printer does not provide any of the gradual sanding process to adjust for perfection. Its either failure or success, no subjective hypothesis exists either and filament temp, type, layer height, orientation of seam and nozzle size will also alter it.
So it took over two weeks to produce the Sika call on a printer and I'm not finished.
They have been literally arriving at my door to get one, it is the best in the world.
The great thing about this tech is it doesn't need 10,000 made in Taiwan, anybody with an idea can do it.

Blade is inspired by the Linder Super sharp Germany , no longer made so I bring it back.

Prototyping my handle for another project. Had a broken knife handle and so it on it. PETG and it is impact resistant. I smacked it on with a hammer. Used randon seam in Prusa Slicer and its not a nice finish.

Cut arrows at 90 degrees and adjustable alignment for cutting disc erosion diameter reduction so the end cut remains perpendicular, check arrow shaft tolerance, sand end and use the motor for other tasks.

A cure for pack buckles slipping and popping of under big loads;
slideble locking bar,
larger faces engage the female part,
connecting flexible arms tensions by tensile spring,
both parts are detachable from the belt.

Tested, will take a full load. Cinches up great.

Fixing a lifetime of being annoyed,
 
Proof of concepts. For a first off sheath required 2mm dremelling of the interengageing portion with handle, it clicks in and holds nicely.
Handle insert needs .4mm extended for pin to fit.
They say filaments have +-.02 accuracy but extruding it out of nozzles at different layer heights distort the product.

My mate just bought the new Creality K2 and tells me it can print down to 0.02mm layer height. No visible printing lines.
 
I'm sure Ai and 3d printing will make things more easier. Recipes for tuning the print and removing errors in files. The handle with the thumb grip leaves a ridge extending from where it terminates at a point. I'd like to extend the pattern to the adjacent face but don't know how. Or if even possible as fusion 360 videos, non of them can perform that function.
See the last image the layers at the hollow pin reduces to .1mm from .2 as the overhang was causing an buildup of material and then catch on the nozzle and over the handle would go after 2 hours of wasted printing 100% infil. Probably need to tune the retraction.
The surface on it is the fuzzy, its .1 depth/height.

Fixed it, much to the agnst of the program. Seriously if you get along developing project. Try this and that particularly for beginner like me it starts duplicating bodies and dissordering them and changing the time line. Then have to select and switch off and deleted sketches and extrusions.
It's half the fun, to defeat it, feel like a brandy right now.
This better print.
