    So do you print these on their side? Does it require support? Does it come out better then the vertical print of the LPC?

    I printed this upside-down with support. The T section is identical to the LPC, so as long as the piston can move freely then it works very well. In fact, since the coil has no sharp bends, it seems to be even more reliable than the LPC. The only problem I had with one was when the magnet fell out, and even then it worked 9/10 shots. There is very little slope on the ramp, but between the magnet and the gas bypass blowing the rounds forward, it doesn't seem to have issues. Now that I think about it, I wonder if I can design a twin and/or triple design like this....
