What have you just 3d printed (for airsoft)

So my Ender 3 v3 SE has arrived and I’ve done my first few test prints (non-airsoft related). We are now thinking of printing some airsoft related stuff. 

What material do you normally use for hand guards, rails etc (e.g. for a carbine kit). I’ve only printed PLA so far and I’ve already noticed that that will probably be too brittle (already broke a piece I’ve printed).
Do you use PETG or even ABS/ASA?
What manufacturer do you recommend for the filaments that isn’t too expensive?

 
Hi all. which twist top grenade design you would recommend as most reliable please? thanks. 

 
I've started hitting the prints since starting this sport and also love 3D Printing. 

Started off with a Molle Case for my phone looked at some on Cult and thingiverse and well I have access to bigger toys so went with a 3D printed case & a Titnaium protective plate on the front with an adjustable Aluminium carrier to clip it to the molle band, I'll probably tweak the rear plate to take some weight out of it its fairly overkill at the moment lol, still in the trial and error stage though so tweaks to follow. 

Have also printed BB canisters, funnels, speed loader adapters all the usual stuff, batter boxex, pistal case, and probably over 50 of the banger grenades :).

One brilliant thing I’ve found for airsoft are these:

Makes unloading your mags a breeze!

I have also printed a carbine kit for my AAP but that took a few attempts to get right (3rd time lucky with the main body) and hours of post processing with a Dremel to get everything to fit.
The only problem now is that my son is taking it for himself as he loves it so much. View attachment 133592

We are now looking for other fun ideas to print. Currently thinking of either a MOSCAT grenade launcher or my son wants a shot gun.

Has anyone got good ideas or designs?

 
So having seem many photos of Explosive reactive armour blocks mounted to things It shouldn't be me and my friend got to talking about a dumb idea. I present you the first result of said dumb idea! The molle mountable kontact-1 ERA block!  Ignore the colour. I got it cheap so I use it for prototyping. Will be in green for the final versions and maybe a stencil on top for the full meme effect

And down the rabbit hole we fall.....??

Currently printing a mk23 outer barrel for my "trung" short version after the boy decided that we should resurrect it and actually use it .. along with a 14ccw thread to take shhh pipes. 

I keep thinking that my aap welrod would be better as a mk23 as no blowback and quiet but that's a project for another day/century...?

On an unrelated note; does anyone think they can 3D print these shells for the shell ejecting Kar98K? Link to the file.

I can give it a go on my printer but I think resin would be to brittle and crack.

The guy who made them has a Reddit post which is where I found he actually published the file. Given they're probably relatively cheap to print, i'd assume they're one time use thing so you don't need to scavenge them back up so it won't matter if they're super fragile. As long as they work once, they're good. IIRC he's printing them in ABS.

Here's a link to his thread.

No worries will give it a go this weekend and see what results I get 

 
Question for the big brains, has anyone made something like the aps uar? Like I have a spare v3 gearbox, I could cobble together a hop and barrel easily enough, any though on what 3d printed things I could use them on?
