Celebrating the Armalite AR-180
I’ve had lots of folks contact me about buying these when they are available. I don’t think I could sell them fully finished for enough to pay for my time but I think I would have no problem selling them in the raw, printed state.
Anyone willing to sand and polish their own?
Heading for Salt Lake for work so let me see what I have into these for design and materials and I’ll see if I can put a price on them.
A bunch of wet sanding and I am at this point.
Next up polishing compound.
That was a little premature. Gotta go back to some finer sandpaper first. I like where this is heading.
Firearms News (Formerly Shotgun News) is releasing their second Retro Edition on July 3rd.
I thought y’all might like to see the cover.
I didn’t contribute but they did mention my web site. Make sure you pick it up when it hits the store shelves.
Lots of modeling in Fusion 360 and I got myself a 3D printer and started building my own stuff!
Here is the one I picked up Amazon Click Here
It is the Monoprice Maker Select Plus. I’m loving it.
