When that o-ring enters and seals inside the turnaround it prevents any more air from entering and escaping through the turnaround. That trapped air gets turned into a cushion for the plunger, slowing it down. The system is called an airbrake and I did not invent it!

A couple ideas: - Catch installed backwards - Catch needs a touch of lube or pencil lead rubbed on it - Trigger/sear are flexing too much or don't have enough travel, try these files: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UKZLl3hswK6y9Cg4NjR99ewBcxBP47Im

@@orionblasters6342 The issue was the trigger. I printed and installed a modified version and it is working perfectly now. Thanks for the suggestions.

Try the pump found here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4753732 This issue will be addressed in the upcoming 2.03 fileset.

The ram seals into the turnaround, not the dart guide which is the piece I believe you are describing. If the ram cannot clear the hole in the dart guide it's possible the ram screw is tightened too much, causing the o-ring to squish out too far.

@@orionblasters6342 thx, I already did some minor changes to let the ram slide through the dart guide. Maybe my print was a little tight. It constantly troubled the mechanism.

@@orionblasters6342 I could still not bring it into a fire ready state. After 30 hours of refinement and some changes(including making a metal plunger and catch) to stop it from malfunctioning i gave up. Normaly I am doing my projects from scratch but i wanted to give it a try. Anyway. What's buzzling me the most is that I can not understand why the backplate has to be fixed by two different screws. It drives me really crazy. OMG

@@brennnessel6789 Did you make the most recent Lynx version? I only recall a very old beta lynx using two different screws to hold the backplate to the rest of the blaster. I'm sorry there were issues getting the Lynx to work, feel free to send me an email (orion blasters AT gmail DOT com) or hop on the discord server: discord.gg/w4uMJVW8

@@orionblasters6342 The printer parts are from a metric version from thingiverse. I am from europe and therefore my equipment is also metric. The problems are mainly arround the right Barrel(eather Worker Darts are to big or Dart Zone Darts are to small, so i made 2 barrels) the Air seal in front of the ramp and getting the catch doing its job regardless of the used spring. I started with a 5Kilo spring to focus on the air seal issues. But after switching to 15 Kilo the catch was no longer strong enough. Beeing able to shoot some Darts in the office and also on the field would be cool but this wont work. The Metal plunger and catch helped but still loses it sometimes under the pressure. Due to 200+ lbs is still dangerous in short range when shot accidentaly i focused on the 5 Kilo spring. With little joy as you could Imagine. The pew pew is not the same :) Anyway thanks for reaching out but i am allready using my experience to build up a similar blaster with lower maintenance. And also could there be some issues in the metric version(maybe outdated). But let me know If you someday will come up with a metric version.

Other users have had success fixing their trigger catch issues using the trigger and sear in this fileset: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4753732/files I also recommend you try this catch_1 part: drive.google.com/file/d/1RM_vB244XBGyOZRY3YN2n2mEmG72fBlW/view?usp=sharing All of these improvement will be incorporated in the 2.03 fileset. Cheers!

@@ValTek_Armory Jesus loves you :)

It should be very similar although there are now quite a few versions of the metric Lynx v2 hardware kits, all with subtle differences. Shoot me an email at orion blasters @ g mail . com and we'll try to get your Lynx up and running.

Both are size 8-32. Look for "8-32 Flanged Locknut" and "8-32 Threaded Rod" on the BOM linked below. The BOM includes links to where you can buy those components on McMaster-Carr, which conveniently also has dimensioned drawings of these components. BOM here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IfModqW6PDGJgxqOqJNLCjFYSdzfHzt7kmzxbQr3ImU/edit#gid=0

I don’t know of a ready to go LED indicator for the Lynx, but you might try these modified talon followers - when empty, they should prevent the ram from returning forward, giving you a good tactile indicator of being empty. I have not tried these - please let me know how it works out if you do! www.thingiverse.com/thing:3682348

I typically use 3-5 walls, 15-20% infill.

@@orionblasters6342 Thank You!

10.75", yes it's missing from the drawings as those drawings were originally drafted up to get bids from machine shops, and the rail bar is so quick/easy to manufacture I wasn't thinking about outsourcing it. Have a good one!

@@orionblasters6342 Thanks for the feedback. Next question, length on the dart guide? Looks like that is just additional barrel material?

@@ajackson6157 The spring guide is 3.5 inches long

Unfortunately not

@@orionblasters6342 Thats okay is this the only guide?

@@bradleyquinto1053 This is a complete guide, except if you happen to order a kit early 2021 there is a supplemental video you can find on my channel that covers a small hardware change that occurred for a few months.

@@orionblasters6342 oh okay does this count if like I order it now and I get it like next month.

@@bradleyquinto1053 Yes if you order now this video goes over everything you will need to do to put your Lynx together.

9.1875"

@@orionblasters6342 thank you

Hmmm maybe with a very small round file

Yes

I like the pump grip that EnderSavesTheDay came up with, he bundled it with the other Lynx parts he developed. There's a full and stubby version. You also need to print the Slug AFG core piece to lock the foregrip to the rail. Files here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4629645/files

Yes, assuming the next shipment of aluminum barstock doesn't get delayed.

@@orionblasters6342 ok, thank you

Qidi x-one 2, 148.5mm^3 build volume. Anything bigger will work as well.

@@orionblasters6342 thank you I thought my print bed was too small

I haven't tried that, let me know if you do! Hardware kits will be back in stock on the 28th.

I found the source of the locknuts shortage gcaptain.com/one-apus-update-new-details-on-dangerous-goods-cargo/

@@orionblasters6342 Ouch, that looks expensive

The turnaround is a T (bottom curves to the plunger tube) The dart gets loaded into the breach, in front of the magazine, with an o-ring seal behind it Leaving a Ɔ shape for the gas turnaround

The turnaround

*magic*

Hi Kurtis! A couple hours ago some other Lynx owners and I figured out that the plunger tube material I've been shipping out recently has been too big. It turns out that while it is technically within the manufacturers spec, it is much larger than what we normally get and thus doesn't seal well with the included hardware. I apologize for not catching it - until this point I've never received a bad batch of plunger tube material, so I didn't know to be checking the dimensions. I'll be sending an email out in the coming days to all that purchased hardware kits in the last few weeks to work on resolving the issue. In the meantime some of the lynx owners with oversized plunger tubes have used teflon tape under the oring to fix the seal. While I wouldn't consider this a permanent solution, it's at least enough to get you through a few games while we figure out a better fix. Look for that email in the coming days, thanks!

@@orionblasters6342 thanks for the info. I will be looking fir that email. Will it be a silverfoxindustries email? Also i got the 3ed batch you guys did back on October 23ed

Should have said it is a silver fox build kit.

The plot thickens! I only know about my plunger tubes - a few weeks back the ones I received were a little foggy, but I didn’t think much of it. I’ll ask silverfox if they encountered a similar batch - they source some hardware from me, and do the rest (including the plunger tube) themselves. I may have jumped the gun a little diagnosing your issue. A sure sign that your plunger tube is oversized is the plunger has NO resistance (and barely even touches) the plunger tube - is that the case?

@@orionblasters6342 no it touches but it slides on though it way to easy like it needs to be just a bit smaller.
