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 :). 
 
 
 
 

I have a Vortex Spitfire and bought the below kill flash just for the honeycomb then 3D printed an adapter for the front to fit in but you could easily just tape it on as you have done.

This is my Rifle” 

So have just made myself a custom Pelican 1510 loadout to take with me as my MWS brakes down pretty easy and the gun box I bought was way too big for taking on a train. 
 


 
Wondering if anyone else would be interested in something like this can accomidate other boxes I just had a spare 1510 laying around un used.

Brings back memories when I foolishly used Nuprol bbs in my MWS and they shattered and royally screwed up the MWS! I should have sent Nuprol a bill for repairs ! That reminds me I need to check the rubber as I’ve not used the MWS for over 13 months. I know I know.  Bad bad MWS owner 😂😂
HPA’ing a MWS? Good lord man! Wash you mouth out with soap young man! Failing that a swig or two of whiskey! 

Awesome thank you.
 
 
 

There are many others like it, but this one is yours.

That was my thinking, nitrogren is actually a non-reactive gas it doesn't interact with anything, you can fill your car tyres up with it infact I'm sure racing car tyres are filled with it. Also as it's innert its safe to vent into the atmosphere unlike propane also in most cases it prevents oxidisation so should in theory be really good for the internals. 
 
Mainly I was making sure I wasn't being completely stupid in why we use compressed air apart from the fact its easier to produce with a compressor etc... 

I've seen those scuba adapters on a youtube video that was the cheapest method I could find if you had an old tank kicking around but even on FB or ebay you can pick them up pretty cheap. 
 
The nitrogen bottles have a 5/8" fitting on which then goes off to the regulator, 

However this that one in question is £800 lol I'll give my supplier a ring on Monday and see if they'll loan me one or chuck me a freebie, that reg is a high pressure the one we use is a High Flow which cost 3x as much and its massive as it has a heat exchanger when cutting full speed even the bottles start freezing up lol. 
 
I know these tanks are designed for the pressure but they must be dead thick 1800psi is not to be sniffed at. 
 
 
 
 
 

Just to be sure as you mentioned CO2……
 
You are using an actual HPA cylinder aren’t you as opposed to a CO2 cylinder ?
 

 
HPA cylinders are topped off with a regulator assembly incorporating burst discs, pressure gauge, fill nipple and output valve.
 
Whereas CO2 cylinders have a combined input/output valve with potentially an on/off.
 
Assuming it is HPA then nitrogen will be fine, it’s cleaner than air (of which nitrogen makes up the majority)
 
 
Back in the day as paintball (mostly) migrated from CO2 to compressed air nitrogen was often used instead from bulk cylinders until sites invested in HPA compressors.

That’s good for HPA and / or nitrogen 
 
Yep.  The optimum is to fill on site with a ‘proper’ high pressure, filtered & maintained compressor which runs into the thousands of £
 
Cheaper compressors are available now (not workshop ones) can do the job these days without killing you, there are also 
 
Your plan to use existing nitrogen facilities is a fair one
 
Viable alternatives for those who need their own fill system are typically a scuba cylinder rig or a ‘shoebox compressor’ which takes input from a workshop type compressor then boosts up to 3000psi etc - but that is slow & noisy
 
A compromise is a high pressure stirrup pump - relatively cheap (ensure a filter is added) but takes time and effort 
 
Your existing nitrogen is a good call, clean & convenient 

This sort of thing is used as a fill rig for scuba to paintball / airsoft cylinders

It does of course depend on what type of fitting you have on your nitrogen cylinders.

 
If you come from a regulated output then your maximum fill will be the maximum you can get.  That may be fine for testing provided you can draw off more than your airsoft output pressure requirement , but to get the most from your cylinder you need 3000psi / 232bar
 
As you have a 300bar cylinder that’s 4500psi, which means you should regulate your fill rig to 3000psi, but provided you slow fill and watch the gauges it’s viable to fill into 3000psi from a 4500psi source (it is of course best practice to regulate at the appropriate level)
 

This uses a site type fill station but the principles are the same.
 

If filling from low or empty then fill a little, stop and pause, fill a little more and repeat.  That ensures it’s nice and slow and reduces heat generation 
If you fast fill from empty then not only are you increasing the risk of overfilling but gas expands when hot - when it cools the pressure will drop which means a fast hot fill ends up with less of a fill
 

this is my tank 

 
Got my wording mixed up meant shop air not CO2. 
 
From what I can see apart from the risk your life aliexpress compressors HPA compressor are dead expensive.

As long as you keep on top of your maintenance (not sure if the nitrogen would be better or worse for any seals in the system) then I see no reason why not. It can't be any more aggressive than the propane you'd have been using prior to converting it to HPA!

New handguard to start my MWS PDW build 😁
It's really nice quality and comes with different outer barrel lengths plus the nice gas block.

 

So have just made myself a custom Pelican 1510 loadout to take with me as my MWS brakes down pretty easy and the gun box I bought was way too big for taking on a train.

It will be fine with propane at any temperature that you are likely to encounter, if it gets really cold, you can use MAP gas instead.
