considering the plastic material he's using I don't think you'd want to use a petroleum based lubricant because it might eat the plastic and graphite might act as an abrasive. Silicone could work though.
Use baby powder as a dry lube. For parts with close tolerances, especially cylinders I have had easier installation with dry lubes than silicone sprays. And it lasts longer
That's awesome. Use a laser pointer as a simple sighting system, and I assume glow in the dark ping-pong balls exist, use a flash strobe to make them glow as tracers. Just two simple ideas.
My favorite thing about the way you do these videos, is that you show the process in such a way that we can understand *why* all these parts are the way they are! It's super helpful for understanding everything that goes on!

My good man You have been on your artificer arc hard, and I say with the utmost pride that if you EVER got the equipment to make this out of turned steel and shit you would be the most dangerous man in existence Your villain arc shall be legendary, and I shall watch it with great interest
The magazine system you've set up reminds me of the loading system for a Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun. Except with the Bofors, the rounds would be loaded into a clip and then loaded into the magazine. This made loading multiple rounds rather easy.
Is it just me or do any of you feel like a wave of goosebumps when 3D prints slide against each other, like you know those pictures that if you tilt it one way it's one image but at a different angle it's another, so you take the feeling you get when scratching that picture but have it coarse through your entire skin in waves. That's what I feel when I hear the prints scrape against each other and I want to know if anyone else gets that odd sensation too or if it's just me.
Everyone keeps saying it's like a 40k bolter but in reality it looks more like an autocannon if it had a normal mag instead of a drum mag. Great work btw! Subbed
Realistically you should extend the back out and make it shoulder mounted and fired. That way not only can you actually aim from the side, you actually can manage the recoil better because now you can use your entire back to support it instead of just your arms taking the brunt of it without any other support. Also the barrel could be longer otherwise you will be left with a lot of unburnt powder The helldiver 2 autocannon actually represents this really well
there'd be quite a bit of recoil if this were real explosives I think... to the point I wonder would it need a mount? Like would you have to be a body builder to handle it?
@@nibistewgamer1742 Not really. Even if machined from steal and actual 40mm cannon rounds were used with FSDS projectiles, it would be too heavy to lug around and if fired it would dislocate shooters shoulder or if supported, kick you like mule several meters backwards, or most likely just detonate since chamber pressures on those things are rather ridiculous. Thats why all AT rifles pretty much require two man team to operate and lug around since you need it to be heavy to help mitigate the recoil, or be mounted on turret. Against modern even lightly armored vehicle, its effects would be scratched paint with short barrel like that. Make it recoiless rifle and it might have some chances to actually work.
Excellent work! The electric ignition is particularly cool. One small bit of pedantry, that feeding system is a magazine not a clip. Still a very cool design though
Its not a magazine as its not spring loaded. You can call it a hopper but clip also works (kind of). But the actual term would be hopper as its gravity feed
Ngl, if the grip was a tradition under-the-gun pistol grip you basically wouldve created a miniature version of the 180mm Cannon used by the Gundam Ground type, fun!
These are getting more and more badass and I wish I had a 3D printer to try to make similar things (I'm fairly decent at 3D modeling). Literally just a heavy bolter.
Absolutely a masterpiece. What would be really cool is if you could motorize it to make it semi or full auto. The cannon itself reminds me of the 40mm bofors cannon that the USA used as anti aircraft guns.
