Don't be, for fans, it will look cool, for none fans, it will look cool
Besides, that's just the visual/eye candy, the real workings will be much cooler
yeah i only have 2 coil supports made atm, more on the way , but i am a bit limited in space as i am going to try and fit it in a mortar transport/flight case
the following represents some 67hrs of 3d print time , it going to be a "bomb" prop (sorry about the image quality)
i should also add ... its not finished
pics of the AK mount offset etc
i have made 3 changes from this original prototype
1) set the tightening/securing bolts at 78mm pitch (TM VSR rail), and adjusted the backend to suit
2) set the rail to on the top to be as close to nato spec as my printer will allow
3) added a gusset on the under side to add strength and reduce flex (need to print this to evaluate it)
Someone else asked me on the Facebook group about making one as well
Looks like I may have to sell them too lol
One thing you will have todo is check the rail gaps as the model is done for a TM vsr rail gap of 78mm.
I'll take some more pics in abit to show scope offset etc
Soo tempted to get this off gunfire >> http://gunfire.pl/product-eng-1147380413-BI-3181AB-carbine-replica-with-grenade-launcher.html
Must resist urge!!!!
Printing the thread is impossible with my 3D printer
It could be printed then drilled and tapped, but I do not possess the correct 14mm tap (and I am unsure if it's a fine or super fine thread atm)
But like you have said It could be glued in place, all I would need is a basic drawing (length, diameter, is the hole bigger on side etc etc)
Edit PT beat me too it lol
Much as I like tinkercad for its simplicity, I do think I need to be using something more powerful now. But something that I can edit my existing designs etc
its kinda hard too see but the base of the ris is only 7mm clear of the foresight.
i could thin the ris off abit, but that may make it weak (i am not a full time design engineer)
