What did you 3D print today?

[ChillswitchEngage]

Mini rotor with Super PLA came out pretty good! I think I will re-try in PETG though, not sure why I had so much trouble last time but it has printed two AC freak barrels no issue. PETG being half the price(~$15) and no worry of heat warpage is nice too.

The Ion/Luxe threaded one has successfully been printed and fit! Fit snug in the ion but the OD of the stock file (25.4mm) is ever so slightly too thick for a Luxe. Shaved it down to 25mm in TinkerCAD, gonna test it out today or tomorrow for fit.

And I know this is a PB forum but I am just too damn excited to not announce it, but a recreation of the "barrage" airsoft conversion barrel has been designed and printed off as well. Just need BBs to start testing.

Mini Rotor ?? as in dye rotor ?

[ChillswitchEngage]

Not affiliated with them at all (I swear) but wanted to recommend Overture's "Super" PLA. I usually use their PLA+ but this is just as easy to print with from initial runs and much stronger as well in quick tests for shear/impact/etc. Have an ion-threaded barrel in the works I will use this stuff for, test prints are promising. For now, I started my ~10hr journey to a mini rotor top half.

Not 3D printed nor paintball related, but close enough ... Got the top of my laptop in the laser 😁

Could I get the STL of those trees?

I printed the updated version of my Automag horizontal foregrip. By the way, Thingiverse didn't update with the correct file last time, so be sure to download the latest version if you want it. The model up now is the correct one. This version has absolutely no side to side or up and down play. Tolerances are right on the money.

[JonM]

Thankfully this one doesn't droop. Rather the tolerances in front of the rail allowed for the *slightest* bit of side to side play. Personally, I would probably be fine leaving it alone, but if others are going to start making them for their own Mags, then I wanted it to be perfect. Then again, perfectionist that I am, I probably would have ended up tweaking it anyway.

I made one out of wood once. It was lumpy.

They indeed do look odd if they droop at all.

[JonM]

If you're intending on printing one out for yourself, I think I'm going to make one small tweak to improve tolerances a bit. It's pretty stable right now with only the slightest amount of side to side play (way less than a pump kit), but I think I can make it rock solid with one small change. The new file is up now labeled V2 in the filename.

[Brokeass_baller]

There's one on Thingiverse for a Cat, but I've never seen one for a Mag. But you're right. It is kinda surprising.

[JonM]

Happy to help. Honestly, I'm surprised it's taken this long for a horizontal foregrip to come out for the Automag. If one existed before, I've never seen one.

You're a hero

No problem. I posted it to Thingiverse here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6338271
