Been missing your posts. That is beautiful @kray!

Did you get a dual extruder printer, or is that just filament swaps?

Thanks :fist_right: :fist_left:. Needed a bit off from social networks. The colors are simply by swapping filament.

This is a Flex PLA from Creality which is very sturdy.
I build a lot 4A throws and was testing what was the most stable material (ABS, PETG) and found the Flex PLA from Creality and BASF works very well because of its slightly “bouncy” nature.

I haven’t finished any yet. But it’s so slick I’m wondering what response will be like. I don’t know if I have to drill response holes yet.

These are made from HDPE and respond well, so decent response is achievable.

Those look amazing! Do some of them have steel inner rings? How do you do that on a 3d printer?

Yep those are oversized split rings. They’re springy so you can just squish them a little bit to fit inside a hole.

Looks cool Wayne! You live in Toronto, right? I’m just outside of Guelph. Would love to try some out at some point. :smiling_face:
