Anyone have the STL for the Ripper body ?? I want to print one for my kids Emek!

Has anyone built an Emek/ Etha from parts? I have an Emek upper (PAL), and an Etha 2 grip frame. With some left over parts from upgrades, and some new bits, it shouldn't be too tough. looking for advice and tips!

Hello, I used to play paintball in 2006, and wanted to get back into it. I am a machinist by trade, and would be interested in making my own body kit. I guess I could just wait until mine gets here and try my best with the measurements. Do any of you all know where I can find blueprints or factory measurements? Thank you.

Upgraded to the DW hAir Valve 2.1 and now it wont fire. I shot twice. Upgraded the trigger after the success. and now it wont shoot again. There is no audible leak. I changed back to the old valve, old trigger. Same issue, wont fire.

Trying to decide how to spend a $50 gift card from Inception Designs and kind of torn between an ST3 bolt ($60) or a Low Rider Timer holder and timer ($35) for my EMEK. Both are nices to haves, not need to haves.

I already have one ST3 bolt that I can swap back and forth between my EMEK and Gtek. I don't think it's actually necessary for paint handling, but it does seem to dull the sound signature a bit, which I like well enough.

Currently I wear a cheap digital watch on top of my arm pad on the inside of my right wrist to more easily keep up with game time. It's set to count down. Usually works well enough, but sometimes I flex my wrist in just the wrong way and depress a button, which may stop or reset the timer or switch the displayed mode. I almost never play competitively, so timing isn't actually critical usually. My home field has audible warnings every minute for the last 5 minutes of each game.

What's the better buy here? A second bolt or the timer? My EMEK already has the FL 3-way with the Secret Pin, adjustable trigger, lighter spring, and EZ-PZ ASA, so there's nothing left to upgrade there. My Gtek already has an Inception feedneck. The other route I could go would be to upgrade this Trilogy I occasionally tinker/play with, maybe get a Trident bolt, but I'm hesitant to put money into it when it's never going to outperform my EMEK or Gmek.

Wanna do something with both grips just don’t know what.

Ive been shooting some really good valken graffiti paint but every once in a while i will get a flyer or a topspin shot. Is this from oily paintballs or is my barrel causing the problem? Overall im getting great shot quality tho. 49/50 balls are laser ropes.

Hello all. Would this CP barrel be compatible with my Emek? Thanks for the help.

Been considering a few different inception bodies and wouldn’t mind some input.

So, I just installed a hair 45 trigger valve into my emek, and suddenly it's not firing. Anyone know why?

Can't decide if I should go with an Emek, used Etha 2, or Etha 3m.

• Are the quality of life improvements of the Etha3m worth the price? Does the aftermarket support for it match the Emek support yet?

• hAIR 45 valve or FL valve with Secret pin? Pros/Cons to each?

• is the Stanchy double trigger kit worth chopping up a frame?

• are PAL hoppers worth it or should I just trade out for an aluminum feedneck?

• Any other tips, tricks, things to know?

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4788809 Designed by Simon here are his notes on it: This is a trigger shoe designed to fit the Inception Fang trigger for the EMEK. It may fit the stock trigger, and the trigger on other "Space Mech" guns. It's free so print it and see!

It has four holes that need to be tapped #6-32 and then you use four #6-32 set screws 1/8" long to hold it into place.

There are several different versions (and we may add more) that give different edge profiles.

The shoe is designed to make it as easy as possible to "walk the trigger". You will get the best results when used in conjunction with an ultralight trigger valve such as the hAir 45 valve.

This is for fun recreational use. We do not recommend it for tournament use, and we actually want to see it banned for tournaments and "Classic Paintball" play, along with the "walking" of pneumatic triggers.

For tournaments we believe it is best for the pneumatic "Space Mechs" to only be allowed to be shot with a single finger. As fast as you like as long as it is only a single finger. The reason for making this "Dumb As F*&^ Trigger" Shoe (DAFT) is to show that it is easy to do and why we do not want it as part of the new "Classic Paintball" movement.

Anyone share their experiences? If no one has then I'll do it and report back after this weekend.

If I were trying to minimize the amount of black on my EMEK, the best I could do is to replace the grip panels with tan ones and the body with a tan or HDE Etha 2 body, and then maybe put an aftermarket sleeve over the stock foregrip, correct? Short of painting, vinyl wrapping, hydrodipping, etc., of course.

So far as I have been able to find, the EMEK frame appears to have been made only in black.

So far i have a pops asa, hair 45 valve, CP barrel, plan on getting an exalt trigger. What other performance and or cosmetic upgrades are there that wont break the bank.

It sits low supposedly to avoid interfering with your aim, but with it projecting out to the sides as much as it does I wonder if it would still be in the way. Maybe I am overthinking it.

And since I use the stock body, the timer may not stick out as much as it looks when shown on an FLE body.

Anyone have experience with it? Is it useful? Worthwhile? I was watching a recent ICPL event video and noticed a few in use.
