CF dad here 32M. So yesterday I had a vasectomy done. Doctor said at first it appeared that I had one Vas Deferens, but then he said it appeared I might have one that was atrophic. According to my urologist this is common in CF carriers. He also mentioned if you are missing one Vas there is about an 80% chance you are missing a kidney on the same side, as they both form together in utero.

I have an ultrasound Monday to see if I have one or two kidneys. Ive never had any serious health issues and am well aware that most people with one kidney live full and normal lives. But, if it is the case I have one, I will definitely be making some lifestyle changes to protect it.

Idk if this is the right place for this. Just wanted to share it might be worth telling your dads to check with their doctor.

Im currently designing a 9mm can inspired by the SAW Tisha. Mounting solution will be your typical 1/2x28 thread adapter.

My plan is to model a pocket that fits the perfect dimensions of a 3/8” ID 1.5” OD stainless washer. I will have g-code written where print pauses, insert washer, and resume print. The washer will act as initial blast baffle.

I’m really hopeful, but I’m worried about the thermal conductivity of the washer literally melting the pa-6cf. I’ve got a bit more time in fusion before I’m going to print. Thoughts on feasibility?
