3D Printed Broaching Press

[@timparkhurst8661]

Thanks for researching filaments. The improvements are anticipated greatly.

[@MGoogle3146]

I have no idea what this is about, but that just makes me appreciate what you're doing more. Grug like smart man protecting liberty.

[@AckzaTV]

U really have no guess what that press could be for? It's obviously for a heat insert press

[@MGoogle3146]

@@AckzaTV Very different industry to what I'm in, totally clueless. I can search for terminology of course, but the information doesn't make a lot of sense to me either.

[@NorseYggrasil]

@@AckzaTV a broaching press is different than a heat insert press.

I think the way you set up your production lines is superb. Good luck on your project.

[@Erik_MN]

Slick design. You probably already know this but sites like Mcmaster sell flanged brass bushings in many standard sizes. Combined with shoulder bolts this is an easy way to accomplish the smooth pivots as in your design minus the lathe time. Another slick design trick is making small cylindrical bosses where the bolts clamp up. Throw a fillet or some draft on these and they spread the clamp force wider into the part yet. Common on ductile iron castings for heavy trucks.

I need a reason to use my lathe ;)

hell ya I love square and hexagonal holes without needing the wire edm at work, I'm all about this

Intriguing! 3d printing as a prerequisite step for more manufacturing.

[@ZURAD]

3D printing tools and tooling is legitimately one of the best uses of the technology possible. These can be rough and don't need to be "distribution ready" so long as they help out on the shop floor.

[@HarvickOne]

you could also modify the geometry of the hex cutout to be more of a 6 point star shape to compensate for the printer's tendency to round off edges

[@HoffmanTactical]

A great technique! That's what I do with buffer threads, extend the corner away from the interfacing part to prevent interference. Unfortunately there is just not much room on the little levers.

[@BigBoyJudge]

Always great to see what ya create Hoff.

[@MiddletonMade3D]

i appreaciate your apBroach to this problem.

[@stevektx]

Always on another level, bro!

Good vid as always. Keep up the good work. Love your designs.

Great video 👍 Your technical explanations are entertaining and educational. Thanks for sharing.🇺🇸

i just wanna say god bless you man! i wish you the best. The SS concept changed the world and lives ! THOU SHALL NOT INFRINGE

Cool stuff thanks for the great service and effort you put into this keep the info flowing 💪

Always great videos man keep up the great work.

Add a xy cross slide and a square broach and you can do mag wells.

Bro are you some kind of secret scientist?

[@jonahlowe7649]

Any plans for a 308 Orca? Also PLEASE TEST PPS

[@HoffmanTactical]

Yes.

[@netpackrat]

You can add features into your CAD to force a sharp internal corner on a print. Just be sure to turn off Arachne in your slicer or it will ruin your hard work.

[@luciuschappell4648]

Could you recommend a video or something to get that level of bed adhesion? If I tried to do that print it would curl up like a leaf spring.

[@darktrojan00]

Now make a contraption to make barrel rifling

[@noahmcabee2534]

My first thought. You could probably use this if you had a series of progressively larger rifling buttons

[@darktrojan00]

@@noahmcabee2534 well it could be as easy as a spiral shaft and a single cutter essentially cutting every groove

[@noahmcabee2534]

@@darktrojan00 nahh it would take so much work and redesign to use that press it would be much simpler to just use buttons. It would be easier and a higher quality product in every way. With a single cutter you'd have to get your spiral from the up and down function and repeatability would be an issue and so would wear, tool sideload and tolerance. You might take 10 thousands off the sidewall but it would be accompanied by 30thou on the machine. Definitely possible if upscaled by about 350% but then printing would be the problem. This is one of those jobs perfect for using a 3dprint to make a metal casting.

Hoff challenge produces the M41A-Pulse rifle with a flamethrower., and rocket launcher if you can?

[@jamesowens2781]

A great project

[@dodgersfnshepard8673]

I'm so confused, this a new 9 called the broach?? Brother I'd love to see you test that new electrolysis metal print stuff or try that rifling print

[@riflemanm16a2]

What is this for? I can’t tell what the little piece being drilled into is.

[@thememedelorian3]

Nice job!

[@plazma4443]

Are there any plans to convert this press into a reloading press?

[@twinturbostang]

re: your last comment about testing materials... have you done any extensive testing with SLA resins yet? Some of them look promising.

[@armorers_wrench]

What lathe do you have?

[@austinwyrick9089]

love you Hoffman!!!

[@ZaxMan3D]

Have the models for this been released?

No.

[@reuben911]

nice!

[@TuttleScott]

undersize the holes and then heat stake the hex shaft into them. cant get any tighter than that.

[@HoffmanTactical]

True, but then we go back to the issues with complex / difficult assembly.

[@davidhernandez9985]

Y ooo, Hoff, long-time no-show, welcome back to grid bragh. Like always, it's disappointing, but it's an impeccable educational video!

[@joshmccartney6474]

3dp easy jig for optics cut

[@calholli]

You would be better off going to square.. It's less likely to have slippage.

[@HoffmanTactical]

Hex is easier to find around the house (Allen key), which is why I went with it. For the custom shafting I think you are correct, but it would add some complication having several types.

Please make a 3d BULLPUP LOWER FOR ar-15 UPPERS that use 3.5 inch buffer tubes. The 3.5 inch tube to keep standard size, reliable, and upgradeable bolt carrier groups and compatibility with certain kinds of triggers 👀. The 3d BPAR-15 with its 3.5in buffer incorperation and the (unreleased) 3d FM15 bullpup lower has figured out a forward mag release. Those are close to an "end product" but this concept needs a professional like you to be able to trust the design for serious use consideration. Your ar15 designs are proven, I think people would want an ar15 bullpup evolution they can trust. Charging handle cheek rest solutions are the right side charging Beer Creek Arsenal uppers, Gibbz Arms non-reciprocating left side charging upper receivers, and the Devil Dog Concepts’ Side Charging Handle System.
