Ion body, or lack there of?

[spikeball]

Ok, how much of the outer body shroud is really needed to keep an Ion functioning?

Thinking about cutting down a body to it's bare minimum but I'd want to keep the eyes covered and maybe the back still covered too.

[Ecapnation]

If the detents are held in and the eyes are covered and there's a bit between the frame and core you're good

There's a 3D printable 'tray' that allows you to run without the body. Not sure how covering the eyes/detents works though.

This would be ideal! Got a link to share?

The 3d printable Ion tray was done by our very own ChoSanJuan . You can snag it here : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4729349

If I know that guy I’d say it was a mechanical conversion.

spikeball I've got a version with eye covers. That's just the base tray model for people to start off of.

[ChoSanJuan]

SignOfZeta Heh, you are correct, but I run it on both my electro and mech versions.

I have a bodyless ion. Meched, a piece of spring steel holds the detents

Sweet deal. Is that a 3skull trigger as well? I like the shape.

[The Inflicted]

Possibly? I got it from ANSGear for like $5 when they were getting rid of most of their Ion stuff.

I got mine from ChoSanJuan. It covers the eyes and detents and looks great doing it.

Hey guys, I just inherited an original Ion and was looking to 3d print a a 'bolt out back' body for it, I found Cho's tray' stl on thingiverse and was wondering if anybody had any of the other ion .stl files i've seen floating around here. I'm a total noob to Ions but i'm really into 3d printing and i'd love to try out any kind of quality of life mods/cool stuff you have come up with!
