Yeah, pretty cool. Especially your latest rev.
Not to be crass, but you do know the piston is the endcap tool, right?

Cool, now make one that's an open-end wrench style so I can tighten my octane with left handed threads (fixed thread end cap for MPX) so I don't have to use a big f*cking crescent wrench.

Re: 3D Printed SilencerCo Octane Endcap tools, DEMO VID
Thanks. I made two flat and two square ones for me and my buddy on the 3D printer at school.
Re: 3D Printed SilencerCo Octane Endcap tools, DEMO VID
No offense but have you actually used these?
We use similar but higher quality rapid prototype machines at work, and it's hard to imagine one of these tools surviving more than a couple uses, unless the caps are never tightened very much. The material is pretty weak.

"Good and tight" is all I have ever used on cans. These tighten sufficiently to make tiit so you cannot loosen by hand.yondering wrote:No offense but have you actually used these?

Some materials are brittle but regular Nylon like above should be fine for this use.

Re: 3D Printed SilencerCo Octane Endcap tools, DEMO VID
Good to know they work. My concern was more about loosening the caps after shooting a lot, where they end up tighter than you installed them from fouling.
Re: 3D Printed SilencerCo Octane Endcap tools, DEMO VID
So far they are holding up fine. Just don't make them stupid tight.
Re: 3D Printed SilencerCo Octane Endcap tools, DEMO VID
The files could also be sent to a company like ShapeWays and made in metal via lossless PLA, just like jewelry stores do. As long as it is just a tool and not a restricted part all should be on the up and up.

print a new one when it breaks...
I have used printed gears in my lathe with surprising success. I needed metric change gears in my Logan and the worked like a champ. I couldn't find the factory gears so I made my own in solidworks and printed them in PLA.
