mightyjebus Posted March 3, 2016 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.
Doad13 Posted March 4, 2016 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?

I recommend you buy that speedloader (£35) and wait for them to release their own adaptors.

Doad13 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Looks great that spoon! Do you manufacturer them yourself or just send the drawing files off to a local college etc?
Supporters sp00n Posted March 11, 2016 Author Supporters Posted March 11, 2016 Looks great that spoon! Do you manufacturer them yourself or just send the drawing files off to a local college etc? I print them myself Actually considering upgrading my printer as I have to print the above in 3 parts (the rail is more a strengthening/bracing)
Doad13 Posted March 11, 2016 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?
Supporters sp00n Posted March 11, 2016 Author Supporters 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

Supporters sp00n Posted March 11, 2016 Author Supporters Posted March 11, 2016 What printer do you have? Printrite diy off hobbyking.... With a few mods (heated bed and stabilised z axis)
Doad13 Posted March 11, 2016 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.
Supporters Samurai Posted March 11, 2016 Supporters 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
Aengus Posted March 11, 2016 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)
Supporters sp00n Posted March 11, 2016 Author Supporters 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) Hard to give a definitive answer, but Possibly.... It all depends on the material, and construction etc Aengus 1
Supporters Samurai Posted March 11, 2016 Supporters Posted March 11, 2016 Would it be possible to print something that needs to withstand bb's like a face mask?

Guest PT247 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 oooh, how about a bracket to allow you to fit a scope utilising the lower rail?
Supporters sp00n Posted March 14, 2016 Author Supporters Posted March 14, 2016 oooh, how about a bracket to allow you to fit a scope utilising the lower rail? thats next on the list
MILITATED Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Anyone up for the task of replicating and printing an Osprey style suppressor?
Supporters sp00n Posted March 16, 2016 Author Supporters Posted March 16, 2016 oooh, how about a bracket to allow you to fit a scope utilising the lower rail? TAAADARRRR 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 ImTriggerHappy, Samurai and Monty 3
Guest PT247 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 epic, that is pretty cool dude. How long to print one at the lower height? and how much would it cost?
