What have you just 3d printed (for airsoft)

[Samurai]

Just to give you an option: I have a prusa I3 from aliexpress (cheap and really good prints), and I use PTC Creo elements to design. This is not a parametric CAD but maybe that's why it is really-really easy to use and has the most features from the free softwares I tried. And I tried them all. The only downside is that it can't import/export common CAD formats, but it can export to stl.

Would it be possible to print something that needs to withstand bb's like a face mask? (Just wondering because custom masks are cool)

Hard to give a definitive answer, but Possibly.... It all depends on the material, and construction etc

Like this? Yep, that's my cqb mask.

3D printed, painted and steel mesh glued in.

MK23 lower rail adapters (still a work in progress)

just printing what i hope to be the final version, then its on to carbine kit!!

oooh, how about a bracket to allow you to fit a scope utilising the lower rail?

Anyone up for the task of replicating and printing an Osprey style suppressor?

TAAADARRRR :lol: :lol: :lol:

One point to note - 9 and a half hours Print time!!!!!!!

its abit high (7mm), but thats so you can use the gun sights if needed

epic, that is pretty cool dude. How long to print one at the lower height? and how much would it cost?

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)

 

[PT247]

could you put a grove under the upper rail that allows the foresight to slide through?

 

[sp00n]

something abit like this

 

[PT247]

how are you going to sort a stock for shouldering it?

 

[sp00n]

it would have to be a redesign to be honest, but it will all mount off the front rail

 

[PT247]

ahh ok. How much would the lowered rail cost if you were able to make one?

 

[sp00n]

Pm'ed ya

 

[PT247]

something abit like this

this was the one I meant ....... but would you be able to bring the top rail back to the middle of the gun?

 

[sp00n]

Doh lol

I'll have a look, it's in the same place as the higher mount

 

[PT247]

would you be able to bring it back about 2cm and give it a full length rail stopping at the rear sight bump in the upper receiver?
