mightyjebus Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I would but I'm no where near any airsoft guns atm...if someone can do the measurements I can probably do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doad13 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I plan on getting dimensions done this weekend and then float it around see if anyone can create something and at what price Dimensions I was thinking was both Stanag and mp5 magazine (top section including mag release) and then the magwell on the speed loader. Is there anything that is likely to be important that I may miss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend you buy that speedloader (£35) and wait for them to release their own adaptors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doad13 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Pretty good work there. I keep contemplating getting a 3D printer but the misses is worse than the finance department at work! What software do you use for your drawings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters sp00n Posted March 11, 2016 Author Supporters Share Posted March 11, 2016 Yeah 3D printers are not cheap, but they are getting cheaper all the time. And it is cheaper to print your self versus say shapeways ( though I do use shapeways for complex items as they have wayy better 3D printers) I use an online one called tinker cad, it can be a right pain, but it's dead easy to use lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doad13 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Not to bad a price that! Last time I checked it was coming in around £400 then import tax on top. Tinkercad seems a little easier to use that AutoCAD, more a building in blocks way of doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Samurai Posted March 11, 2016 Supporters Share Posted March 11, 2016 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. sp00n 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aengus Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Would it be possible to print something that needs to withstand bb's like a face mask? (Just wondering because custom masks are cool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
