Easier to do a bad job, more difficult to do a good job.

Still in active development, but I've been busy. I had to move in 2022 and it's put a huge damper on my time. I have some fresh ideas that need testing, but it's still in progress.

is it officially shelved? im currently building this thing and that would be bit discouriging!

@@steinmetz3336 How are you building something that never worked? The pressure destroyed the thing every single time, maybe it would work with birdshot?

@@HorrorTactico on the website it wasnt advertised as a fail. and i still think it doesnt take much to make it work. you can prevent the revolver drum from falling out by adding a spring to the holding rod. as well as a spring assisted rod that catches on the receiver end. you can add some rubber buffers here and there to absorb some of the recoil. you can make the handle frame out of metal or cast aluminum and have it to absorb some of the energy by connecting it to the receiver plate. but since shooting this thing is not very legal where i live, i have no good way of testing it. but if i where to shoot it, i would have to use homemade black powder, wich isnt nearly as powerfull as modern smokeless powder. i think that alone would do the trick.

Shouldn't affect performance.

It's worst with pipe, for sure. But you can file down the seam and flat head bit extractor still works. I use a modern variant of this in my current release guns.

lol - I haven't designed the backplate, but it probably could if someone were to do so.

@@Liberator12k That would be wild, maybe if I can figure out how to use one of these cad programs then some day I could possibly make that happen. I wouldn't be surprised if doing so would legally make the drum into an NFA or otherwise restricted item though.

@@Impactjunky it would definitely be an NFA item at that point. At the very least it would be a short-barreled shotgun, probably a DD

No gun should be illegal

@@magicianman1345 bruh shut up you have no idea what you are talking about

@@djnick1270 I probably know more than you about guns and gun laws from 7 plus years of experience. Explain to he how I am wrong, and why there should be guns that should be illegal

@@magicianman1345 7 years huh? I have been around guns learning them since practically I have been able to remember I know for a fact I know more and own more than you and if you don’t know anything about a little thing called “crime “ then I encourage you get educated Bcs it obviously ain’t mandatory where you from

@@magicianman1345 mf talking about some 7 years 💀 I live and breath guns

Mostly PLA+ these days. Everyone can run it, so I design for it

Did you download the source code? Take a look in the manual at the developer section

I'll check the manual, thanks!

I found your project very interesting, I am a lathe operator, and I have 3d printing as a hobby, and I want to see if I can reproduce your project.

I'm from Brazil

@@luisfelipeoliveiracavalcan8339 Awesome. Swing by the chat, and show off your work if you get a chance. There's a metric version available, that's probably the best route.

Collect them all!

Hoping to get back to it some more this year. The gap gas problem will probably always be a thing, but I can mitigate it. Next steps are to find a solution that works "good enough"

@@Liberator12k awesome man keep up the good work can't wait 💙

Hmmm, not that I'm aware of. I'll have to take a look next time I'm out there. Kinda on the backburner since moving. I haven't got power back in there yet.

Hey.... Okay.... I understand about the moving... I was on the same boat couple weeks ago..... No rush... if you ever get a chance Thank you

I haven't found tubing for 16ga.. I have some for 20ga, but it's very heavy - same 1" OD as 12ga. So possibly.

Mixed bag. With enough investment, anything is possible.. but it also limits how many people can participate and replicate at home. I'm interested in production at different scales, but focusing on the home user for now. As I like to say, something you can do in an apartment with a girlfriend. You can do a dozen or more a day with this method. That's enough for a basic home defense load out

My later videos show attempts at gas sealing.. honestly not enough success to pursue too much further. Moving barrel adds a lot of complexity

Cos I can’t buy an 870

The OpenSCAD source is in the repo.

I don't use MCAD because I'm trying to keep this all public domain, and not catch the herpes of GPL. So there's a lot of "Not invented here" work done in the project, including vitamins. Not sure if anyone's done it my way, but I use lookup tables to make it easy to change specs. My Chamfer.scad is bloated and needs to be broken up into chamfered solids, holes, edging cutters, and fillets... but it's all there in Shapes/Chamfer.scad I don't stream because my internet is shitty 10/1 DSL, but I've recorded a few session for that purpose. I've been trying to do more of it, if just to get more mindshare on the 12k :) OpenSCAD spooks people. I've been doing software dev for like, 20 years - so this is second nature. Just not a lot of 'best practices' in OpenSCAD, so I've kinda bolted on my own. Combined with Make, I've got a pretty nice little dev environment now. Swing by the Matrix chat if you wanna chat 12k+openscad - lots of cool shit in there IMO.

Yep, and it autosyncs from KZbin so it's always up to date. odysee.com/@Liberator12k:f More links on the "Connect" page: www.liberator12k.com/connect.html
