Gun Related 3D Printed Items

[1066]

Yup great side hobby! What software are you using to make files? I do a lot of my own designs, but I'm not ashamed of printing files made by others. Like these.....

I use Autodesk 123d design for CAD - I think it's a brilliant program for the type of stuff I do, about half way between Tinker cad and Fusion360. Unfortunately, for some reason it has been discontinued by Autodesk, I really can't understand why.

Just at the moment I'm attempting to designing/make an air rifle. I do the design, then 3d print bits of it it, to see how it looks and generally tinker about with it, re-design, re-print etc. then, if it shows promise, try and make it with the tools and materials I have.

Yesterday I made the hammer:

A 10 round version of this would be a nice file to have.

Over here (UK) the CZ's are quite popular in sporting class benchrest and rules state must be singularly loaded - So I make a few of these single shot adapters. There are plenty of cheap 3d printed single shot adapters out there, almost all made with the usual FDM layer printers but, to be honest, the quality leaves something to be desired. These are printed in 100% solid resin with much finer detail than can be obtained with the layer printers.


And here's one I do for the CZ 527 .223:

I've done some items for reloading, tumbler uses 6" pvc with 1/2" paddles glued inside, caps are 7 3/4", had to create my own gears and modify the frame uses a 12v DC motor.
Used wheels from a skate board for driven and bearing side, just used printed lock collars for driven side.

Made an annealer from files found on Thingiverse, changed the bracket for the torchand a couple of other little things, I needed 2 pans, 1 for 6.5 Grendel and 1 for 223 to 30-06. I used 1/2" plywood for the sides and 1/8" for everything else.
This was before the finished product.

Powered case prep center, I chose the 6 station but if I did it again I would do the 4 station, uses 12v motor. Files from Thingiverse. I used petg filament for all gears and moving parts

Little items, 1. wanted to check runout of reloads. 2. Wanted a way to store 4 hole Lee turrets, so I glued a cradle in a nut container 3. Wanted led lights on my turret presses so I printed a bracket 4. Printed out a little wrench for the new Lee lock nuts, I don't have a pic of it, works like a charm.
All these files came from Thingiverse, some needed a little tweaking but most were ready to use. I've used PLA, PLA+ and PETG, I have to watch adhesion with PETG, running an Ender3 pro.
