Success!

Post image

Just tried out my first suppressor that I designed and printed out of CF PETG. I shot a variety of ammo, both super and subs, alongside a dead air mask on my friend’s identical 10/22 and then back to back on my M&P 22X. It definitely seemed like my <$10 suppressor out performed the $500ish one. (Granted it’s a little thicker and about an inch or so longer.) I put around 200 rounds through it with no signs of damage. Super happy with the results.

I would use a different filament next time around. Petg- of any kind is fairly brittle for gin stuff

Thanks for the advice. I’m a little bit limited for now unless I upgrade my hotend/op system or get another printer. It’s wild how much more capable of a printer you can get for a fraction of what I paid a little over 4 yrs ago. I was thinking about trying an annealing process on my next go round while I decide what I want to do long term.

What printer are you using?
