What have you just 3d printed (for airsoft)

[Doad13]

More me having a lazy thumbs when loading, wheres my friend has a pump action speed loader which has a M4 magwell

I agree MP5 mags look weird in them

G&P make a UZI mag well adapter. If you are dead set on a MP5 adapter I'm sure one could be knocked up quite easily.

My bad I thought you wanted it to use in an M4 not a speedloader.There are a few people on here who should be able to help you out.

Cheers I'll take a look. I can't imagine it being that difficult but I have never tried and 3D printable drawings before. I do have access to autocad at work but its a rather basic package

 

[ImTriggerHappy]

Ask mightyjebus who posted above he can probably do it for you.

 

[mightyjebus]

I would but I'm no where near any airsoft guns atm...if someone can do the measurements I can probably do it.

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 realise this is not answer, but you're the one who needs it, you go find it, the link is your inspiration.

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

still a work in progress, but i am printing this atm

Its to allow me to use a 11.1v in my Vz58 compact B)

 

[sp00n]

just finished printing the version 2 VZ58 battery cover

working on version 3, will prototype it then get shapeways to 3d print it ... maybe in aluminium B)

Edit :- holy cr@p how much???? Shapeways in aluminium £470 WTF!!!!!

It's £60 in there normal "strong & flexible plastic"

Wow just wow

Edit 2 :-

Added bracing lip

 

[sp00n]

New Mod2 Vz58 battery cover with rail and loads of battery space

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)

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?

 

[sp00n]

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

What printer do you have?

 

[sp00n]

Printrite diy off hobbyking.... With a few mods (heated bed and stabilised z axis)

 

[Doad13]

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.
