Suppressors were added to the NFA in order to prevent people from poaching during the great depression. Because people starving to death was less important than following the rules I guess.

I would guess that the gas would be accelerated faster than the bullet when it comes around the radius part of the valve assumingely hindering the path of the bullet.
Tessa valve is more or less 2d. If you take it and make it a cylinder, you have what it's basically a k baffle. While it doesn't directly channel air backwards, it does this by creating a vortex which collapses on the air flow behind it slowing it down. Imagine the air coming out and being redirected in a backwards wave by the baffle which crashes down on the main path of flow. That's what most suppressors are already doing. Also unlike the Tesla valve, you have a projectile which plugs each baffle as the bullet passes through it. This directs even more gas into the baffles. You are left with pockets of air flowing in a vortex within the each baffle stack. The vortexes ultimately slowing down the gases cooling it and further reducing pressure. TLDR you have a Tesla valve effect happening in most modern suppressors. Also take a look at mono core designs and think how air would follow through them.

I have yet to find a good video where I can learn fusion 360 so quickly. There are so many tools and they are hard to figure out for someone who has never done cad.
I agree, I've watched a few videos that supposedly say "simple way to learn fusion 360" and never seem simple to me. His comment about Tinkercad was a little ridiculous also. I found that to be pretty intuitive to make simple things. Once you learn how the software operates, you can kind of force it to make more complicated objects. Certainly not an efficient way to do it. But I've ended up with some pretty complicated designs. Made out of a combination of simple single items.
Do you know how many decibels your suppressor lower the shot? I know this was just a proof of concept but I'd be curious as to the actual effectiveness.
@@Garrumx Why does everyone always bring up Civics? The K series engines produce more power from 4 cylinders than most N.A. V6 engines from other manufacturers. The old jokes from the 1970's don't apply any more. Bash on GM instead.
@@Npc5150 Because a Civic can't hold a candle to a Ferrari even though they are both cars, just like there can be wild performance differences between suppressors, even though they are both suppressors.
That is flipping awesome!!! I have been wondering if this was even close to possible. There's a lot more pressure involved in a supressor working properly than most ppl can imagine.
Man if your did not watch to the end, just thinking man the atf got this guy already. I’m glad everything you did was legal. Also happy to see you did 22 and not 9mm for test run.
First of all tinkercad is great for beginner 3D printer users. You really can't say that a 11 year old learns an entire modeling software in a few hours, come on.. :D
This is probably the best strength test anyone can come up with for this product. I won't be making a supressor, lol, but I do have kids so...same thing. ;) I'm sold. Thank you!
THe thing about those complicated applications is that children actually have a greater capacity to understand them quicker than adults do. I learned everything about computers and whatnot as a child, not adult.
The resin actually works better with high temperature stuff. I can print a fan duct out of PLA and within a print or two it's lop sided and hitting my prints. I then printed one in abs like resin and not only did it look like a high end manufactured product it's been on for months with no sign of warping. Currently printing a HTD pulley for my CNC mill that will hopefully hold up to 3,300 RPM on my 2:1 spindle setup. I've been considering mixing some high toughness with flexible resin to try and get an ideal mixture of strength but less abrasive for longer belt longevity.
It's a good thing I don't live in the US then, apparently sights and suppresors are not considered weapon parts in my country so I can print out suppressors to my heart's content.
So how much beefing up do you think it would take to stand up to a centerfire pistol caliber like 45ACP? Not sure I'd trust it with something higher pressures like .223 or 5.45x39, but pistol cartridges may be an interesting idea.
@@CustosLibertas Additionally, because the OP has an image of it in the software which he mentions by name. You can download that same software, take an image from the video and underlay it, then connect the dots to duplicate it.
One way I think you could improve the suppressor is you can leave a gap where the threads are supposed to be and get a metal insert and use some sort of adhesive to attach the metal threads that way you have metal on metal contact rather than resin on metal contact as I can see that causing degradation in the long run.
Instead of suppressor, how about putting it to hydraulic pressure test like they do with SCUBA gear (and PCP air gun)? 22LR peak pressure is about 20KPSI, but probably 1/10 that at muzzle (ie, only about 2KSPI). Hydraulic pressure test can go up 4KPSI or more. Even better, find pressure when it breaks.
fun des fusion 360 is very easy to learn like he said in the video. Drawing something like this literally only requires about 5 functions within the program
Solidworks is much more intuitive to me, but they lack simple things like thread sizes and its very expensive. This is free and has more features just have to learn the icons and features.
TL:DR: if you spent a lot of money on the resin and the printer you can create parts that are as strong as normal PLA. Or you just keep printing this exact model on a 100 usd fdm printer with a 10 usd PLA filament.
One note about Solidworks: Solidworks helix and profile sweep does not work on first gen AMD Threadripper systems as it tends to use up every last bit of RAM when sweeping even a simple helix (I have 64 GB if anyone has over 100 GB let me know if this is an issue for you).
There are airgun supressors on lots of models as factory default, you might see if you can get the part just by itself (or if you mean 3d printed I’ve done one for my CO2 bb pistol knowing nothing how a suppressor should work and just doing geometric trap chambers and stuff, it’s extremely basic and one of the simplest parts almost ever to CAD, his is just 1 sketch and one feature revolve... Mine had air baffling exhaust holes but still very easy). Also carpet rolled up in a tube works (I assume you’re popping some mice, probably with IR night vision scope and need the silence to clear the attic or barn, this would be plenty for that, the mice probably would be more affected by your scent than the now very quiet pop). I’ve also done really amazing diaphram suppressor with nothing but newspaper and a foot long piece of stainless steel that slipped over the airgun barrel, like so silent you didn’t hear the loud pop, only the valve clicking open, like REALLY impressive (but after every shot you had to run a ramrod through it to open the hole again, and also it needed repacking after like 30-50 shots and indoors you’d have to clean the small amount of confetti paper it likes to spit out, so not great for real firearms or semi-auto air guns, but not too terrible in terms of time when you spend a good minute pumping up like 10 pumps on an old crossman air rifle adding like maybe 10 seconds).
RE: Your comments about Fusion360: we in the machinist trade have a similar opinion of it as you do of tinkercad. Good for hobbyists and the most basic stuff. Comparing F360 to Solidworks is like comparing apples to oranges. F360 is CAM software, Solidworks is CAD software. They have different purposes. Compare Solidworks to Inventor, and compare F360 to HSMworks. (F360 is a watered down HSMworks, which is also considered basic-level CAM)
You can actually buy a 'suppressor' from a company which makes a suppressor base... basically just the part which threads onto your barrel. They did this so if the suppressor broke, that part would survive and you wouldn't have to do new illegal paperwork or the illegal 6 month to 24 month illegal wait-time before receiving your new muffler. You could get one of those, and print your own 'suppressors', which would technically just be considered bodies or scraps because they would mount to the 'suppressor' or nut which threads onto the barrel.... That would be one way around the law... So you could in theory also get one which could thread onto multiple calibers - or get one which has an adapter... ie: the serialized part is x dimensions, and you get a different nut per barrel size / thread size, etc... add the 2, then add the suppressor body...
Its not a silencer a silencer would be illegal without a stamp no this is a velocity increaser it is not designed to make the report of the firearm quieter so its not a silencer
.22 Rimfire? Attach a stuffed-"toilet paper roll" and it would hold up, too! Not to mention: @6:19 - 1st fire= .22 bullet, 2nd fire= NO BULLET/blank(?), 3rd fire= Still NO BULLET, just the gunpowder-puff @6:30 - NO SMOKE after any...make that ALL "shots" I Waisted my time on this video, but maybe I can make it up by watching and commenting on your other videos....Hmmmm???
So... What if I was a student and had was doing a report on how the government can't protect you because gun laws are useless. And in this report I wanted to prove a point that the laws on suppressors are pointless due to the ability to craft things at home. Where would I find the .STL file so I can add a link into my paper. Keep in mind I am 31 and not in school. But we are just talking theoretical here
Update: It does. 25% tenacious 75% blue. Printed a Glock 48 frame and a Glock 17 frame. The darn things works! Plus with Blue V2 the sucker is clear and transparent with a little gloss lacquer.
I wonder what the viability is of a more oblong suppressor, sort of like a muzzle brake style shape, but of course cylindrical lengthwise. The gasses have more room to expland, while maintaining the overall length of the suppressor the same or even shorter. The hard part would be maintaining the integrity of said suppressor along the top and bottom edges, since realistically it would be thinner in these areas.

@@lamegame420 The Suppressor is 3d printed FROM INCONEL... dumbass. It's also got nothing to do with an "m16 replacement" (it's an M4 unless you're talking about the US Marines specifically) and notice he said "Squad weapon". "The M16" isn't a squad weapon, they're refering to the M249 SAW.

you have no idea how much this is appreciated!
Not even 1 and a half minutes and he mentions he's got an Audi. And I thought the Bimmer guys were bad.
I have yet to find a good video where I can learn fusion 360 so quickly. There are so many tools and they are hard to figure out for someone who has never done cad.
I agree, I've watched a few videos that supposedly say "simple way to learn fusion 360" and never seem simple to me.
His comment about Tinkercad was a little ridiculous also.
I found that to be pretty intuitive to make simple things. Once you learn how the software operates, you can kind of force it to make more complicated objects. Certainly not an efficient way to do it. But I've ended up with some pretty complicated designs. Made out of a combination of simple single items.
@@kens97sto171 Yes Tinkercad has worked fine for me for over a year. I would love to learn Fusion 360
It's really not that hard to learn. I learned using 2 screens. One played tutorials and the other had f360 on it, which I drew along with them.
well...like most things I suppose, "It's only illegal if you get caught"
Ya pretty risky tho but they may laugh when they see a plastic suppressor
Excellent rationale for going directly to a firearm for testing resin printing. 👍🏻
Do you know how many decibels your suppressor lower the shot? I know this was just a proof of concept but I'd be curious as to the actual effectiveness.
It should be more or less similar to other suppressors.
@@Acecool my understanding is suppressors vary a good bit in how much sound they dampen. I was just curious as to where his lined up
@@Acecool A Civic is more or less similar to a Ferrari.
@@Garrumx Why does everyone always bring up Civics? The K series engines produce more power from 4 cylinders than most N.A. V6 engines from other manufacturers. The old jokes from the 1970's don't apply any more. Bash on GM instead.
@@Npc5150 Because a Civic can't hold a candle to a Ferrari even though they are both cars, just like there can be wild performance differences between suppressors, even though they are both suppressors.
Nowadays you can resin print pure iron. I'd like to see a continuation with this
The serial killer vibe is strong with this one
Great video though!
Not sure if it was intentional, but I love how subtle the title of the video is
Very interesting video. Thank you for the explanation on how to legally make a silencer.
That is flipping awesome!!! I have been wondering if this was even close to possible. There's a lot more pressure involved in a supressor working properly than most ppl can imagine.
That thing looks beautiful
Man if your did not watch to the end, just thinking man the atf got this guy already. I’m glad everything you did was legal. Also happy to see you did 22 and not 9mm for test run.
You feel like sending me those plans? I just want to look them over, I won't make 1😂😂😂😂😂
I have a feeling RUclips is going to destroy this video.
Aaaaaaand you had to start with that item. Damn. Now I'm on a list for sure....lol
I get why he wanted to use 22 but man he definitely should’ve gotten some CCI clean or subsonic clean
First of all tinkercad is great for beginner 3D printer users. You really can't say that a 11 year old learns an entire modeling software in a few hours, come on.. :D
now this is some james bond level flexing
This is probably the best strength test anyone can come up with for this product. I won't be making a supressor, lol, but I do have kids so...same thing. ;) I'm sold. Thank you!
I've got an approved Form 1 waiting for me to build a .22 can, but I think this would be a fun use for it!
I sure hope he got his paperwork for this
How the heck do you get a free hobbyist license for Solidworks?!!
Audi lug nuts : 120 Nm so 90 Nm not even close.
But still impressive that it can resist 90 Nm of torque
Really good video, well explained. Any plans to release the file?
THe thing about those complicated applications is that children actually have a greater capacity to understand them quicker than adults do. I learned everything about computers and whatnot as a child, not adult.
The resin actually works better with high temperature stuff. I can print a fan duct out of PLA and within a print or two it's lop sided and hitting my prints. I then printed one in abs like resin and not only did it look like a high end manufactured product it's been on for months with no sign of warping. Currently printing a HTD pulley for my CNC mill that will hopefully hold up to 3,300 RPM on my 2:1 spindle setup. I've been considering mixing some high toughness with flexible resin to try and get an ideal mixture of strength but less abrasive for longer belt longevity.
I like how he assumes I'm american and I need paperwork to print these badboys out.
Isn't everyone? :-)
@@CorkKNIFE i like how he assumes that any american would NEED paperwork to print anything out
End the NFA, I want this in every gun owner's home.
It's a good thing I don't live in the US then, apparently sights and suppresors are not considered weapon parts in my country so I can print out suppressors to my heart's content.
So how much beefing up do you think it would take to stand up to a centerfire pistol caliber like 45ACP? Not sure I'd trust it with something higher pressures like
.223 or 5.45x39, but pistol cartridges may be an interesting idea.
Thank god you mentioned that they were Audi lugnuts. If you hadn't mentioned that they were I would have been so confused.
Blueprints are available on tor network
N.W.A /IceCube yet if you’re smart enough to use a 3d printer or Tor then modeling a can yourself shouldn’t be a monumental task
@@CustosLibertas lmao true
@@CustosLibertas Additionally, because the OP has an image of it in the software which he mentions by name. You can download that same software, take an image from the video and underlay it, then connect the dots to duplicate it.
Almost sounds like a Bond movie suppressor, but I guarantee that if you step the caliber up that'll stop being the case fairly quickly. Nice job.
One way I think you could improve the suppressor is you can leave a gap where the threads are supposed to be and get a metal insert and use some sort of adhesive to attach the metal threads that way you have metal on metal contact rather than resin on metal contact as I can see that causing degradation in the long run.
Jesus that pistol grip needs to be retrained to modern standards lol
Instead of suppressor, how about putting it to hydraulic pressure test like they do with SCUBA gear (and PCP air gun)? 22LR peak pressure is about 20KPSI, but probably 1/10 that at muzzle (ie, only about 2KSPI). Hydraulic pressure test can go up 4KPSI or more. Even better, find pressure when it breaks.
That torque wrench is sick
Absolutely GENIUS way of measuring torque/sheer strength. If you haven't copyrighted that process, I would.
Nice job. For those of us in countries where we're allowed suppressors, any chance of an STL file?-)
fun des fusion 360 is very easy to learn like he said in the video. Drawing something like this literally only requires about 5 functions within the program
90nm is equal to 66ftlbs, most audis wheel lug bolt torque is 89ftlbs :p but thats still decent for resin test.
Jared Zadorozny which audi? There is more than 1 with more than 1 torque spec.
The best benefit with a resin suppressor is that you can clean it with water without it getting rusty
Solidworks is much more intuitive to me, but they lack simple things like thread sizes and its very expensive. This is free and has more features just have to learn the icons and features.
TL:DR: if you spent a lot of money on the resin and the printer you can create parts that are as strong as normal PLA. Or you just keep printing this exact model on a 100 usd fdm printer with a 10 usd PLA filament.
Very impressed, my friend, great work, and info
Wish I could use Fusion 360. Everything had the "OK" button grayed out, too bad.
Is siraya blu have a bit abrasive resistant? Think about make a magazine for .22 custom bolt action rifle..
So glad we have the right to put mufflers on firearms to save our hearing.... oh that’s right, we don’t.
It's not illegal if you don't get caught!
Release the file.
Great work. Great man!
One note about Solidworks: Solidworks helix and profile sweep does not work on first gen AMD Threadripper systems as it tends to use up every last bit of RAM when sweeping even a simple helix (I have 64 GB if anyone has over 100 GB let me know if this is an issue for you).
bits of fibreglass infusion will make it last even longer
I wish people would make these for air gun! I’d buy them for all mine
There are airgun supressors on lots of models as factory default, you might see if you can get the part just by itself (or if you mean 3d printed I’ve done one for my CO2 bb pistol knowing nothing how a suppressor should work and just doing geometric trap chambers and stuff, it’s extremely basic and one of the simplest parts almost ever to CAD, his is just 1 sketch and one feature revolve... Mine had air baffling exhaust holes but still very easy). Also carpet rolled up in a tube works (I assume you’re popping some mice, probably with IR night vision scope and need the silence to clear the attic or barn, this would be plenty for that, the mice probably would be more affected by your scent than the now very quiet pop). I’ve also done really amazing diaphram suppressor with nothing but newspaper and a foot long piece of stainless steel that slipped over the airgun barrel, like so silent you didn’t hear the loud pop, only the valve clicking open, like REALLY impressive (but after every shot you had to run a ramrod through it to open the hole again, and also it needed repacking after like 30-50 shots and indoors you’d have to clean the small amount of confetti paper it likes to spit out, so not great for real firearms or semi-auto air guns, but not too terrible in terms of time when you spend a good minute pumping up like 10 pumps on an old crossman air rifle adding like maybe 10 seconds).
RE: Your comments about Fusion360: we in the machinist trade have a similar opinion of it as you do of tinkercad. Good for hobbyists and the most basic stuff. Comparing F360 to Solidworks is like comparing apples to oranges. F360 is CAM software, Solidworks is CAD software. They have different purposes. Compare Solidworks to Inventor, and compare F360 to HSMworks. (F360 is a watered down HSMworks, which is also considered basic-level CAM)
You can print in titanium (also other metals) if you have the money for a metal powder 3d printer. They cost this days I think it was over 1000$.🤔
You can actually buy a 'suppressor' from a company which makes a suppressor base... basically just the part which threads onto your barrel. They did this so if the suppressor broke, that part would survive and you wouldn't have to do new illegal paperwork or the illegal 6 month to 24 month illegal wait-time before receiving your new muffler.
You could get one of those, and print your own 'suppressors', which would technically just be considered bodies or scraps because they would mount to the 'suppressor' or nut which threads onto the barrel.... That would be one way around the law... So you could in theory also get one which could thread onto multiple calibers - or get one which has an adapter... ie: the serialized part is x dimensions, and you get a different nut per barrel size / thread size, etc... add the 2, then add the suppressor body...
It looks cool
Did you save the data sheet from all the different resins tested? I would love to see the difference between brands.
Suggestion: I know it might be out of your area of expertise, but make a turbo for your vehicle? I’d love to see how that holds up
Wow throwing shade on tinkercad
Its not a silencer a silencer would be illegal without a stamp no this is a velocity increaser it is not designed to make the report of the firearm quieter so its not a silencer
I have to 100% wonder if this legal defense would work
@@thatjokerperson7062 Free men don't ask permission or need excuses.

.22 Rimfire? Attach a stuffed-"toilet paper roll" and it would hold up, too! Not to mention:
@6:19 - 1st fire= .22 bullet, 2nd fire= NO BULLET/blank(?), 3rd fire= Still NO BULLET, just the gunpowder-puff
@6:30 - NO SMOKE after any...make that ALL "shots"
I Waisted my time on this video, but maybe I can make it up by watching and commenting on your other videos....Hmmmm???
Nice work and thorough testing. Did you make the file public on grabcad or anything? Id like to see how it was done it cad
So... What if I was a student and had was doing a report on how the government can't protect you because gun laws are useless. And in this report I wanted to prove a point that the laws on suppressors are pointless due to the ability to craft things at home. Where would I find the .STL file so I can add a link into my paper. Keep in mind I am 31 and not in school. But we are just talking theoretical here
just find the video on how to make one using flashlight caps
@@hansorsic7387 yeah but I'm buying a resin printer soon so I can make DnD miniatures. Might as well go all out.
You CANNOT get a free license for solidworks. That’s a load of BS.
Before i got to the end i was like this guy is incriminating him self there's no serial number on that
I would love to be able to build and test silencers. I have always wondered how some designs might work like a modified Tesla valve.
Might be a bit late but a good alternative is always an air gun. They’re plenty loud and legal to build a suppressor for 😅.
Print a socket with standard-thickness sidewalls and then say it can do 90Nm and I will be impressed.
Amazing Work!!
Great informative video thank you 👍🏾
Is 6:35 really that silent? That's hitman style insane.
Well he's using .22 caliber rounds in the first place so...
Now I need find out if this resin can print a functional glock frame.
Update: It does.
25% tenacious 75% blue.
Printed a Glock 48 frame and a Glock 17 frame.
The darn things works! Plus with Blue V2 the sucker is clear and transparent with a little gloss lacquer.
I’m still surprised nobody said anything about the copper counter tops
Where's the download link for the supressor :P
I wonder what the viability is of a more oblong suppressor, sort of like a muzzle brake style shape, but of course cylindrical lengthwise. The gasses have more room to expland, while maintaining the overall length of the suppressor the same or even shorter. The hard part would be maintaining the integrity of said suppressor along the top and bottom edges, since realistically it would be thinner in these areas.
