WOW PETG at 100% is some tough stuffs to be damaging like that.
I Could not get the dB meter to power on so I grabbed my phone, loaded an app and set it at 10 feet, loaded the 5 baffle insert after I hunted around for the cap and oring for the moderator (they had fallen off the end of the housing onto the floor, no damage), pinned them on and took 3 readings of 84dB, took it out and put the original insert in and repeated the process for 3 shots at 86dB with the split design.I think the phone app and the microphone are just not equipped for this as an open ended housing shot that rung my ears only registered 87dB. My own opinion is that the 5 baffle insert is a lot quieter to my ear, not nearly as much high register sound either. I will be working with miksatx and subscriber for versions that protrude beyond the housing.

I had to get 75-100 feet away to avoid audio clipping on an unmoderated Avenger. With these installed, try 10 meters. Also try to find an app that sets audio gain to a fixed amount -- no good if it leaves the phone in "auto."Nice printing job! -- nothing like good old destructive testing to find there's no voids or layer lines to be seen. But lilac? Seriously? That LDC pulled the pin to end its suffering.

You could PM it if you have a pic but I am sure you will make it right and he wont be as upset.

My neighbors pretty used to hearing loud airguns.
Another member visited yesterday and I got a chance to handle one of these.. I was impressed with the solid feel of it.
David,I am impressed at how Mike's print failed through the material, rather than between layers. The color may not matter, except for the extended design. Even then, staining the part black on the outside should be easy; or warping it in camo tape, or something.I am not sure if Mike can print 8" tall parts, but I know that Bob (Torquemaster) can.If you have accurate measurements, pilot holes for the retention pins can be designed into the part. Or, just drilled later, using the casing holes as a jig. Just have to make sure that region of the part has thick walls, by placing the small end of a cone nearby.8" long should be plenty to make the report friendly at stock Notos power levels.

The 4”&5” went longer than what cura had for build time by almost 2hrs. Also the purple filament is paintable. Matter of fact a member hear using one of my purple ldc that he painted haven’t heard of it peeling it’s paint off lol knock on wood lol.
