What did you 3D print today?

[XEMON]

Back to more paintball items: wood filament grip for my DSG

[Spider!]

Prototypes and templates!

[Spider!]

Well yeah. The body can usually be made workable. Although this one needed a barrel tap and the breech needed shortening at the shoulder by m,ore than a 1/16". :/

Good subject for printed parts.

[XEMON]

Are you wanting to make it shoot?
I got a cocker tap somewhere if it helps ...
and whats going on with the breach?

[Spider!]

Hah, thanks! I used a tap on it already. I also ground the breech mouth a little so that the barrels seated at the bolt side. My other two didn't have that problem.

Nova N-1 Insert case. Not perfect, but probably my largest print.

[Spider!]

O-ring retained stock-classy tube adapter that attaches directly to a superbolt. I've already made some changes, but this pla version seems to be ready to try on the field. Wish I could get rid of the supports.

Link is in the paintball STL thread. It has built-in supports that snap off easily, designed to be printed in 0.03mm layers.

[Spider!]

Took the coasters out of my F150 to clean them, never to see them again...

Since it's not paintball, I put it on printables https://www.printables.com/model/292...50-cup-coaster

[MuddyBloodyFactory]

Mini Shocker SFT, Autococker, and LV1! Gotta collect them all! 😋

[superman]

Some nova related stuff.
Previously printed insert case. New reg tester case and a breach plug. Still need to figure out how to model the oring groove though since it looks pretty rough. maybe if it do it at 45 deg angles in the groove.

[superman]

I did think about the barrel one. I’ll think about it some tomorrow.

Good idea on the chamfer.

[zinger565]

Love the tester case and the breech plug. Will have to pick up a "Nova Care" set of all 3 when they're ready for market

[Grendel]

Need the reg. tester case and I still owe you for the insert case. Christmas game at Palmetto Hills?

[desertT1]

Mini Shocker SFT, Autococker, and LV1! Gotta collect them all! 😋

Where did those models come from?

[MuddyBloodyFactory]

I designed them! And releasing them at https://www.homegrown3d.com/
I posted the autococker one, and just posted the shocker one! LV1 coming soon. Can make them into a few other things too like keychains or ornaments or trophies

[superman]

While were at it.... Nova barrel back protector thingy.

[Grendel]

Cool, my N3 is waiting patiently for its version.

[Brokeass_baller]

Damn that's fancy.

[superman]

Well figured out the breach plug. Ended up with 2 pieces press fit into the other. It is snug enough that gluing isn't needed, but could be done if someone wanted. Think these all came out pretty cool.



Also the plug and the barrel piece fit together so that is cool too.

[superman]

N-3 plug and cover done also. Need to do a small tweak to the barrel one and should be good to go.

[MuddyBloodyFactory]

10roundtube feed "MudStick" with clamping feedneck for side feed stubs. This one at 1 inch diameter for bushmasters. Autococker coming too!
95A TPU material for the main body, ASA material for the locking lever.

[superman]

Not a fan of bevertails and hated how sharp the back of the gunfighter frame is. I have been thinking about this part for awhile. Finally got around to it.

[BrickHaus]

Haven't hit print yet, but I have been trying to teach myself fusion 360 for a while now. I used some of the Christmas downtime to work on this pet project. My first homemade model.

I work at a panel shop, and we use a select few drills and a step exclusively. A standard drill block was overkill. All of the drill tap holders on thingiverse are mainly metric. Or are modeled flat. I wanted to save some space. So here is my v1 rendition of my drill block. #4- 1/4 drills and taps. M4 and m5 sets ( I'm not sure what drills we have in house for the metric taps so I have yet to label those holes.

A few large bits for through drilling stuff, and a step bit holder.

Im too excited not to share, but all my filament is months old. I may need a new spool before I attempt a print.

If the concept proves to work like I assume it will, I will work on printing one for everyone at my shop.

[BrickHaus]

Not yet, but its on my list of needed items. My filament is like brittle though, so not sure if drying this stuff would even work out.

[Spider!]

I had some brittle PLA that I dried over night that came out well. It was 3mm, which I think needs more time than 1.75mm

[BrickHaus]

My wife ironically got me a filament dryer for X mas, so I'm trying my rolls now. If I can find my usb to micro sd adapter . ill have 2 blocks made when I get back to work.

[BrickHaus]

Dried my old filaments, dusted the printers off, 20 hours in, and they look good enough for a first prototype.
