    TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 34: Airgun Deals for Cheap Backyard Training

    Welcome to TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 15. If you know what “Can’t stop the signal” means, then feel free to skip the intro and get to look at the deals we’ve found this week. For the rest of you, the phrase “can’t stop the signal” comes from one of my favorite TV Shows/Movies of all time – Firefly. In the movie that came out after the TV show, the character Mr. Universe is a techno-geek who is obsessed with disseminating information that the shows/movies’ main antagonists (an overreaching centralized government) didn’t want citizens of the Alliance to know. 3D printers are often tech-geeks themselves and since the inevitable blending of firearms and 3D printing, many 3D gun printers have used the term “can’t stop the signal” as a way to flaunt that despite their best efforts, there really is almost nothing you can do to stop the dissemination of 3D printed parts plans. So this week, in honor of our 3D printing friends and allies, I’ve gone and found some great deals on 3D printing supplies, tools, and machines to hopefully get more of you started down this same path.

    Ender 3 V2 Upgraded 3D Printer

    The Ender series of 3D printers is one that I often see referenced when people ask what the “go-to” 3D printer is. The Ender 3 V2 features a large carborundum glass printing platform (heat bed) which allows your 3D print to adhere better and it also features an integrated user interface module that allows you to control some aspects of the 3D printer without needing to use your attached computer. This particular Ender 3 comes with Crealty slicer software but there is also plenty of other 3D printing software that is compatible with the Ender 3 that are completely free. The Ender 3 V2 is currently on sale for $279.00.

    eSUN PLA PRO (PLA+) 3D Printer Filament

    PLA+ is widely considered to be one of the best solutions for making 3D-printed gun parts. The filament isn’t exactly cheap but in comparison to other raw materials for guns, it’s actually quite affordable. However, this particular filament in black is a few dollars off and it’s always to keep plenty of this stuff on hand in a variety of colors for your next project. If you happen to botch a print then you’ll be glad you have spare filament rolls on hand.

    Sandisk MicroSD 2GB memory card

    A patron who is a frequent 3D printer and has tons of projects he’s always working on recommended that we put a spare microSD card on the list. His line of reasoning for this is that while your microSD card is tied up being used by the printer itself, the spare one can be used to stage your next print job so that you’re not having to wait on the print. You don’t need a large SD card as STL files are extremely efficient but it always helps to have a spare one around so you can work on the next print project while one is cooking. This 2GB Sandisk microSD card is currently on sale for $10.99.
