I completely re-shot this video and edited it multiple times, I had a really rough time trying to export it....it's out now though and I hope you enjoyed it.
The problem really isn't the magwel but the overall variable assembly of the caliburn. You have too many options of how to tighten and adjust everything.
Good review, all in all not that bad for me. This is the only caliburn that I have access to (without ridiculous shipping), the prime is a bit of an issue but not a major one (especially if tape and files can help), and the disassembled state is a good thing so that it doesn't look like a firearm that will send customs on a frenzy. Glad worker is making it available elsewhere, shame I can't get part kits from the US thanks to USPS sad state (80-70 USD shipping vs 3 USD from china ...)
Still a shame that Worker took the liberties with the design that they did when for some people the Workerburn will be the only version they can get ahold of due to shipping/import issues. Ie fully injection molded version: I don't feel like it'd be as big as people say it might be. A big part of the Caliburn/Esper/other printed blasters is the customization aspect mixed with the whole "I made this" feel of printing it yourself. Sure a full molded Workerburn might in theory be nice for the "no muss/no fuss" type of people, but I don't expect to see that from Worker just yet.
On the nut issue, I bought replacement threaded rods that are long enough to go through the whole blaster in one piece, much easier and without using the tear down not a problem
I think the fact of it being 3D printed is not the issue, i think the problem is the lack of technical knowledge or will to actually print it decently.
I'd like to see Worker make the railgasm version of the caliburn. Also, I think that I'll just print my own mag well again if the one I've got breaks. I've got a printer and a spool of petg; if pla is like ordinary, than petg is like steel because it melts at a higher temperature and is noticeably stronger. Also, I wouldn't mind getting a Worker caliburn, even though I already built my own off of a hardware kit straight from Captain Slug, just for the blue prints and the hardware kit. I think that I'd print a mag well in petg, which I said is stronger and more heat tolerant than pla, and replace the white prints with silver and/or orange ones that I'd be running myself.
Thank you for your honesty Walcom. I hope to one day have a Caliburn. Question for the mighty Walrus, if I'm looking to build an NIC capable Longshot, what spring load should I go with? Would something like your Red Longshot build be good for something like Armageddon?
My red Longshot hit 240-260 with the 16.5kg Nerf Turf spring and the 33cm Monkee Mods barrel with all the worker stuff in it. That should do you at Armageddon.
Hate to help worker but....... thinner gauge prime rails, stainless steel.... to clear the rail channels by allowing more clearance.... Ahhh that was painful.... but I said it....
And they may not fix it quickly. Molds are expensive. And they will indeed save money in the long run injection molding it’s just the up front investment. After that it’ll cost them pennies in materials. But if you know anything about real steel firearms. You’ll know that many small companies will start selling injection molded lowers and as time goes on they become better, stronger and production starts moving waaaaay faster.
I had that exact same breakage of that exact piece of the lower mag well on my worker caliburn. I filled the hollow in the middle with expoxy and reattached it. super annoying though
I really like the idea of an injection molded caliburn but I'll probably still go through capt slug when I'm ready to build one, I just don't have to patience for China shipping.
A 1-piece magwell is going backwards, and really, really defeats the purpose of the takedown magwell shape. Might as well injection mould the monolithic magwell. Also, how many batches/versions did it take before worker got the half dart right? Worker will take forever to get it right.
I mean it’s a hobby grade blaster....pull a fuckn file out and fine tune the prime bars. Right tolerances are a good thing....less movement means less chance for breaking. Feel like you just don’t enjoy the entire point of the blaster. Buy a pre assembled if you don’t enjoy it.
Hey, Super Lube! I used that to grease the plunger-tube of my thrifted Strongarm... into which I've installed a Worker 6KG spring. It's still taken to bits, but I'm hoping that's gonna be a good "fanning the hammer" addition to my "Ray-Gun For All Seasons" loadout.
@@WalcomS7 I've never tried a 3D printed item before because I'm afraid they will break too easily. so I'm gonna wait for a injection molded Caliburn and FDL XD XD.
I feel like injection molding changes the caliburn too much from being what it originally was. I'll stick with my 3d-printed caliburn but whatever floats your boat I guess.
+20 cred for using clips from the guilty pleasure movie Kung Pow..it's a goofy thing of a movie..but given it's entirely meant to parody old school badly dubbed and lipsynched kung-fu movies of the past..yeah it's gonna be a crazy ride of a movie.
nfstrike and lighttake are so incredibly bad for the hobby as they are awful retailers. Terrible service and horribly misrepresent their stock and service. Too bad that they have no idea how to run an online retailer for the customers.
