3d Printing for Paintball

[shooter311]

I bought a 3d Printer last summer, so I started to design stuff for my paintball guns. What do you guys think?


Wooden Sniper. I stained everything except the stand, and it all matched, doesn't look like it in the photo...I made the hopper, and put a "bridge" in it so balls will feed easier. I only get missed shots when there are like only 2 balls bouncing around in the hopper. It holds 65 rds. I first made a 50, but I never refill when I am completely empty, so I made it larger for 65, to cut back on waste. Link to me shooting with the hopper :https://photos.app.goo.gl/frCYrCtC4eHJ22bn9


I made a hopper adapter for my SL-68 II to get rid of my copper adapter that split. Fits most hoppers perfect, and it doesn't spin.

I let my 6 year old paint the parts on this one, he didn't doa bad job, lol. I was shooting for a 10rd loader but it is actually 12.
I made Scope 10 rd loaders. The center feed looks the best, but it doesn't reload as well as the end feed one.The tube is pitched to load without tiliting.
The silencer works perfectly. I think I went over kill with the room for foam on the inside. No one will let me play with it though... I fit it to the end of a 2.5" freak tip.

I really like the green sniper. This small cram and jam look like a fun setup to try
Did you 3d print the wood pump handle and the grip panel with the skull too or just the hopper?

Which printer do you use?

[shooter311]

Yes, I 3D printed the wood handle, grips, hopper, and stand.

10/10 on the wood! I have never completed a single wooden print lmao it always snaps at the spool.

Wood filament has always required me to place the spool directly inline with the extruder. Using a top rail mounted spool would result in broken filament or feeding issues.

Thanks man. I wood filament is very temperamental. Not only does it like to snap, but it eats through extruders. It is not a fun print, but it does provide unmatched results.
