    Thanks! That was my assessment when finished as well - lol

    As to the filament, the B1 is printed in all gray and black Creality ABS. With the higher nozzle temps and possible ABS fumes it was a bit a of chore.

    I didn't keep too close of tabs on how much I used, but honestly I only had a couple of minor flub prints on his thighs, so including the blaster, all of its parts, the backpack + the long range binoculars, I'd say probably in the 10 to 15 rolls of filament range.

    Also forgot......one of the coolest things about the B1 is I've got a set of electronics and a small speaker that mount in his back, along with a small infrared sensor in his chest that will activate one of a 105 or so B1 voice sounds!
    There are about 5 different "Roger Roger"s in the lineup.
    It's hilarious when you pass in front of him and forget to turn him off.........
    The first time I walked by and forgot I had his voice module active, I walked by and immediately was treated with a "Uh uh, no you don't" in his high piched synthesized voice. Caught me off guard!

    Anyone ever gotten shock oil on TPU? it looks like it shouldn't be an issue, but i can't find anywhere that will tell me for sure. shock oil is essentially just 5 weight aviation hydraulic fluid for what it's worth.

    So I printed some sunglasses clips for the truck out of PET-CF. While they haven't "deformed" in the heat, they have lost their clamping ability and wont spring back to normal and keep falling off the visors. Is ABS a better option for these?

    I am thinking of printing a different design that attaches to my overhead molle that will have a tab that locks them closed, so maintaining that clamping ability won't be an issue, but if ABS is a better option I'll go that route.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    ASA is probably the best choice for that, ABS be decent too. PETG and PET-CF are good with temperatures but can relax a bit.

    A former coworker reached out to me, to see if I could make something she saw for her dad. Once she explained what it was, I did a quick search to see if I could find the STL files out in the wild, It took about 5 minutes to find what she had described.

    An insert for a slim packout case that holds 450 rounds of 9mm. I printed it up in ABS on my Q1 pro, I like how it turned out so much that I will be printing a couple for myself.
