Happy Suppressor Sunday!
Since the release of the FTN.5 I have now received reports from people. Specifically what now has been tested includes:
-FTN.5 Rifle has been successfully tested in FRT 308 and FRT 556 (aluminum shell) -FTN.5 Rifle Flow has been successfully tested in FRT 308 and FRT 556 (aluminum shell) -FTN.5 PCC and PCC Flow has been successfully tested in PLA
I have also received a lot of feedback which has resulted the original release file to be updated to FTN.5.1. Here are the changelog notes:
v5.1 Change Log:
-new threaded insert options: AIM7 as a Breek alternative, and several experimental ones (13/16x16 direct thread, SLR Plan B by Unqualified Dividend). To make terminology less confusing the "looser fit" models are now called "EZ thread". The AIM7 one is cross compatible with Breek (a castle shield will work on the AIM7 muzzle device, and vice versa)
-new 30mm diameter rimfire suppressors (these will allow you to use iron sights on pistols). People wanted a thinner option. Reportedly this sounds the same as the regular size FTN.5 Rimfire
-new upgraded printed shells for FTN.5 Rifle Flow and for 19.2 oz White Monster (these are printed at an angle to be stronger, read the PDF to know how to index them properly when installing). Also I heard reports that the shell was fitting too loose in the Monster cans, this has been corrected
-optional Baffle Coating instructions and printable thread cover (for rifle calibers)
-STLs of the rifle cans without built in support (so you can tilt at a higher angle if you are experiencing warping)
-new 19.2 oz White Monster PCC version (still under Flowthrough Rifle folder -> White monster folder)
-new wrench options by Dustin D included
-38mm form 1 cutting jig added for FTN.5 Rimfire
-updated filament recommendations (FTN.5 PCC now rated for PLA+, PPA-CF is now a recommended choice for rifle suppressors)
-wrong file for top ring of FTN.5 Pistol sideways reinforced off axis, now corrected
-FTN 4.5 PCC had ridges that caused overhangs, this has now been corrected
Well I came out of retirement just because of the zero dollar stamp, and to see this release through. Now that it is done, and files are updated, this will be the last suppressor sunday.
I am also monitoring the court case in California. It is possible that many developers, including myself, will have to take our releases off of odysee. Plan accordingly.
Its been great talking to all of you again, but I will be stepping away again (this time for good). Thank you for all the support throughout the years.
