What did you 3D print today?

[ChillswitchEngage]

Started back up my reverse engineered barrage barrel (airsoft conversion) project. Got tired of trying to dial in a relatively snug barrel ID with my printer settings for the 6mm bb's so just said fuck it and now its ~6.65mm ID for now. If paintballs can use oversized bores just fine, surely some plastic bb's can too? So I got over my initial hump of them getting stuck and not firing consistently. Now to deal with the overfeeding issue. I imagine that the detent needs to be raised towards where the bb's sit ever so slightly and/or more spring tension behind it. It stops one just fine if you just place it in the breech by hand, but I think its when they are under tension from the magazine is where the issue is. Don't really ever see myself actually using it often, but it is certainly nice to stay in practice for CAD work.

edit- added some pics, short shooting test video below as well.

Made some cram and jams and stick feeds and feed gates for my Taso. Took a while to design and build the gate feeds. I've never used you before so it was a lot of trial and error. In the end they came out perfect so I made 100. I don't know how long they will last during a game so better safe then sorry.

Today I made some of the lightest lightliess pump for my CCM.

Have a little adjustment to do in the mag activation tab - it doesn’t consistently release the follower if it’s locked down before I insert the mag. Otherwise it feeds fine once the follower does release (it was shooting 275-280 with co2 with temps in the 50s) and the zero kick hammer lightens the recoil significantly. Here’s the build thread:

Haven’t tried the tipx mag yet - I need 0.6mm spring wire so I can wind up some springs for it. The designer of the mag also created a printable item that’ll wind springs from wire. Pretty slick!

How did it do?

An OB-10 TiPX mag. Next is the spring winder.
Decided to go with PETG since it’s more durable than pla

Yesterday I got the Carver One running on DMAGs

I made a 2" pellet, golf ball, the yellow is a sabot cup and the white can is essentially a shot shell for 35 rounds (5×7)

If you figure it out, I'd totally try my hand ad making one. I'm personally not too into mag fed, but I have a buddy who is. I'm alrlways helping him with his spyder Mr series shooters, and aid just get a tippmann going then hand it to him.

If I can get this to work - and test it out at SuperGame - I’ll post up the files. I’d love to have conversion kits readily available for Tippmann markers that don’t cost more than the markers themselves. The inline blowback design lends itself well to magfed conversions.

Very interesting. I think there is a market for converting cheap old woodsball guns to mag-fed.

Couple prototypes for the Carver One

Oh man, I missed these comments!

boarder2k7 I have played with them. They hold up. Mainly it's because of the material I used. I'm not using that same old standard resin used for minis. I've been doing parts and bodies in ABS-Like and everything seems to hold up fine with taking hits.

antifat That sounds VERY tempting!

Got this beautiful pen for walzmas and haven't showed it off yet, so I finally made a gridginity base to display it prominently on my desk.

Rotor anti jam trigger now works reliably, just had to heighten the stem that engages the gears. Printed in Elegoo PLA+.
