Looks great. What were your print settings for it? I’m going to make Oddworks’ DMR when my armor is done and it’ll take two weeks with all the different parts.

I print at 250mms due to having a k1 max which is a higher speed printer, make sure the filament can take the punishment your printer dishes out, instructions on the settings to use for your filament is usually posted on the side of the roll.

OMG 250!!! Yeah I can’t imagine. I have a Prusa mk3s and go at 18mms for external perimeters Trying to let the machine do most of the work. BR looks awesome. Lucky about the breaks!

It can go up to 600mms and I haven't pushed it past 500mms, it does really well printing that high too, like the prints come out really well!

A little off topic, but how is the K1 Max? I’ve been shopping around for larger printers and I keep seeing mixed things about it.

DO NOT BUY THE K1 MAX, I've had nothing but major issues with it, just get a Bambu labs and make yourself very happy.

Looks like I'll do that lol, I might wait for this alleged bigger printer by them to release first.DO NOT BUY THE K1 MAX, I've had nothing but major issues with it, just get a Bambu labs and make yourself very happy.

I’ve been preparing to print my DMR after I get all my armor done and I’ve been wondering if it would be easier to prime and sand before connecting all the pieces together. Larger surfaces to sand together all at once versus ease of rotating and handling individual parts. I’d love to hear about your experience! Stoked to see the finished product.

Just do it all in one piece, who knows what mistakes could happen if you did it separately.

Looks like it’s made of wood or even clay with that orange tone lol

Ah the bondo has found its way onto the BR. As it should.
I actually quite enjoy my K1 Max but my desk isn't too stable, so I print around 75mm/s.
Also in PETG which I partially regret due to my raw print not looking nearly as good as yours does! Much less post processing though then again the camera could be hiding some of the work. I like the black filament because of how well it shows any imperfections and layer lines.

I hit my props with 80 grit first, then 120, then I put on the bondo, I enjoy the k1 max when it works, but only when it works. I made a wooden table for it to sit on, still wobbles a bit sadly. Your print not looking good raw may be a result of which brand you're using, I'm using elegoo rapid petg. Even I don't get all the imperfections out myself, don't be afraid to do some sanding!!!

I am finally done with my BR, now enjoy some lore dump about the Rifle.
The BR55 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle (BR55HB SR), also known as the "Mammoth Stomper," is a select-fire rifle utilized by the United Nations Space Command and manufactured by Misriah Armory. It is a heavy-barreled version of the BR55 Service Rifle.
The BR55HB SR entered service in 2548, serving alongside the standard BR55 Service Rifle. For decades, the BR55 had steadily gained favor over the long-serving M392 Designated Marksman Rifle. The introduction of the BR55HB SR led to an immediate increase in the BR55's popularity, prompting all branches of the United Nations Space Command armed forces, except the Army, to replace the M392 with the newer weapon.
