XEMON's phantom double sided feed (3D printed) - Info, how-to and Q&A




Hello MCB,

I have been working on a feed for my phantom and I'm currently in the final prototype phase.
This feed is similar to the one made by apoc4lypse; It works exactly in the same manner. So credit where credit is due.

I am hoping to have half a dozen of the prototype out by the end of the month, and the first batch by the end of th next month.
(this is a temporary timeline ... no guaranty ...)

This thread is solely to judge the interest for the first batch, this is not a pre-order.
A specific thread will be made when they are ready to ship with all the details.

It is designed to take a CCI feed tube on the back, or cram'n'jam a 10rd tube.
On the front, there is 2 options:
- Use a CCI feed tube (as pictured bellow)
- Use a carbon fiber tube (more details and picture to come)

Looking forward on you thoughts and feedback.
Let me know if there any questions.

Q&A part 1

This is the first prototype (the final version will be a bit different) :



And the first first carbon fiber version:
It holds 15 rounds in the front.

And both side by side:
The green tube is a CCI 15 rounds feed, the black tube is a CCI 10 rounds feed.


Thanks,
X

I definitely like it! Is the front tube going to be spring fed? If not, will you sell the plastic bits separately by themselves? If so, how much shipped? 😁

[Kala201]

I would be interested in one, maybe even 2 of them.

[NONOBLITUS]

Oh yea, setting up my tent to wait in line for one.

You pansy! We sleep in the DIRT

HAHA , my beat up older body needs some comfort

Thanks, the first batch is not going to be spring feed, but that is the next step!
I am making those myself at home, so i need to find an efficient wat to slot the tube.

If not, will you sell the plastic bits separately by themselves?

If i cannot find a proper way to slot the tube myself, I am thinking of making a "kit" with all the bits (including spring and follower) and you trim and slot the tube yourself.
But we can always figure something out if you just want the plastic bit.

how much shipped?

Im still putting pricing together (The prototype will be at reduce type for the trouble and thanks to the testers).

[Grendel]

Yup, this is filling a niche market that I am interested in so will throw dollars your way!

[freedom]

count me in....

I'm interested in a couple CF feed tubs if you would do them separately

[XEMON]

Shoot me a PM with what you need.
I have been working with mate for a while (match my carbon fiber Blanc) but I also got gloss for this project.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Oh rock and cock with a Apoc style speed gate? I would be down to try one. What are we printing this with?

[XEMON]

Printing the first 5 "pre-production" feed block.
the only difference are the bolt on the side: they are black and flush to the block.


PS:

The carbon tube is a nice fit too:

[NONOBLITUS]

Looking awesome !!!!!!

[XEMON]

Thanks, 2 of there are going into destructive test.
Printing the ones for carbon fiber tubes now ...

[Chuck E Ducky]

So Fancy….

[XEMON]

Pictures of the carbon fiber feed added.
I'll attempt a video of the first destructive test tomorrow.

[MrFakeCanadian]

I would be very interested, especially if there is going to be a spring feed version

[Foster]

Dude!
Apocs feed is by far the 100% best non OEM phantom upgrade I have ever experienced.
if he is out (and I believe he is) please take the reigns and do it up. IIRC the springs were from D-Mags and the tubes were sourced.
I have used acrylic for rock back, there is a ton of CF tubing out there too. Go for it.
