After a long hiatus, ran a few simple courses and... ouch my fingers. The biggest offenders are 9mm Magpul pmags, as usual (don't ask, got a bunch for free), but loading 1,000 rounds of 5.56 didn't help either.

So me and my fingers will appreciate any suggestions on printable speed loaders - mostly interested in loaders for AR pattern mags, but double stack 9mm loaders are also very much welcomed.

YMMV, but here are my suggestions, in order of importance:

1. Good surge protector. Better yet, a decent UPS (rated for at least 1500VA).
2. Dedicated heavy and sturdy table, if your space / living situation permits. The heavier and sturdier, the faster you will be able to print. No wheels please. The ideal printer table is a huge solid chuck of concrete, everything else is a compromise.
3. Filament dryer. Don't bother with the "latest and greatest" unless you plan on running AMS; a good ol' Polydryer will do for literally everything, including PC and PA.
4. A good set of digital calipers and/or a micrometer.
5. A multimeter, if you don't have one already.
6. A set of Wiha or Engineer bran

Has anyone been able to compile it and produce a .bin that exactly matches (same (SHA‑256, MD5, whatever) the OEM one? Naturally, that would require extracting the internal partitions or sections (with binwalk, dd, etc.) and comparing just the code‑bearing parts, as OEM stuff seems to have a wrapper (signatures, metadata etc). Anyone?

Who, in your opinion, makes the best 1.75" belt for AIWB, and what makes it so?

PS: HC belts look lovely, but they're all 1.5", and I only use that size for the formal suits. Everything else gets 1.75...

PPS: Currently wearing my 7-year old 5.11 Maverick Assaulters belt with G19 AIWB at 1 o'clock.
