What did you 3D print today?

[BrickHaus]

Damn you printed on end? I need to re try mine

Finishing up a Mozak 10rnd stick feed.

Makes me wonder how small/compact we could get one of the new Halo loaders...

@Alexndl

Most certainly! These shell settings are probably overkill (Or not enough? Always open to feedback). Used with Prusa Slicer.

Infill - 100%, rectilinear
Supports: Yes. organic

==Layers/Perimeters==
Layer Height - 0.22mm
First Layer - 0.26mm
Vertical Shell Perimeters: 10
Horizontal Shell Solid Layer Top/Bottom: 10
Minimum Shell Thickness Top/Bottom: 1mm
Seam Positioned: Aligned (optional but makes nicer looking prints imo)
Fill Gaps: Checked

The upper and lower get printed upright as normal with supports. The feedneck gets flipped on its base and needs no supports. The button orientation can be left as is as well and needs no supports (I'd recommend .2mm layer height though). Clear filament is perfect for the button, lets me see the blue light nice and bright still.

Any printing orientation and parameter you recommend to print the shoe loader?
I have the files but did not tried to print one yet.

3d printed 8" freak barrel paired with the mini rotor and 3d printed blade trigger on the mech ion conversion!!! Came out amazing. I am debating making the hoppers in small batches for sale if anyone may be interested.

Ion threaded freak barrel came out great! The OD doesn't seem to be what is causing the threading issue on the luxe. It just takes some patience to line it up and screw it in as opposed to the Ion or Autococker, not sure why though.

Mini rotor with Super PLA came out pretty good! I think I will re-try in PETG though, not sure why I had so much trouble last time but it has printed two AC freak barrels no issue. PETG being half the price(~$15) and no worry of heat warpage is nice too.

The Ion/Luxe threaded one has successfully been printed and fit! Fit snug in the ion but the OD of the stock file (25.4mm) is ever so slightly too thick for a Luxe. Shaved it down to 25mm in TinkerCAD, gonna test it out today or tomorrow for fit.

And I know this is a PB forum but I am just too damn excited to not announce it, but a recreation of the "barrage" airsoft conversion barrel has been designed and printed off as well. Just need BBs to start testing.

Mini Rotor ?? as in dye rotor ?

[ChillswitchEngage]

Not affiliated with them at all (I swear) but wanted to recommend Overture's "Super" PLA. I usually use their PLA+ but this is just as easy to print with from initial runs and much stronger as well in quick tests for shear/impact/etc. Have an ion-threaded barrel in the works I will use this stuff for, test prints are promising. For now, I started my ~10hr journey to a mini rotor top half.

Not 3D printed nor paintball related, but close enough ... Got the top of my laptop in the laser 😁

Could I get the STL of those trees?

I printed the updated version of my Automag horizontal foregrip. By the way, Thingiverse didn't update with the correct file last time, so be sure to download the latest version if you want it. The model up now is the correct one. This version has absolutely no side to side or up and down play. Tolerances are right on the money.
