What did you 3D print today?

I've been plugging away at a couple projects lately.
First, I'm steadily printing out the parts I need to build a few taco styled mag pouches for ZetaMags. I have the shock cord on order as well as another roll of PETG to complete the project. I expect this will probably take me at least another three days of printing to complete the set.
I also got back my sample from Shapeways for my Emek bolt caps. Holy crap, am I impressed with this PA12 stuff. It looks like it could have come stock on the Emek.

I broke out the TPU the other day to make some tube caps, and had one of those AHA! moments... TPU Drop10! Redesigned a little to be a press fit on the hopper neck and omit the upper oring.Rainmaker's feedback: https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/b...maker-feedback

Finally got around to designing a top tube for this. Put sights from a glock 34 on it. If I printed it again, I might add a little more structure to the back half of it. It came out slightly bent because of the length and thin structure in the back. Not bad, but you can notice when you're looking down it. Printed with i.materialise in MJF nylon.

In my long running infatuation of Mechanical Ions, I started making trays to help run them without a body. They were more of a base for making new bodies but I published it to Thingiverse anyway. Today I modeled up a minimalist body to run your full on Ion/XE/Mech while still having your eyes and detents covered. Showed it to Mkeeks and she said it had a Mando/Fett vibe to it... so I rolled with it.
I'll probably start doing actual modeling on it soon now that the primatives are done. Once it looks good, it'll end up on Thingiverse too!

I love this body! Please let us know when it ends up published, I'd be interested to see this with the powder coated frame I'm about to run.
Speaking of Ions, do you have any thoughts for power button decals, or am I stuck with this? https://www.hustlepaintball.com/Smar...p-onoffion.htm
Looks like I should just 3D print a button and laser etch "Power" into the recess where the sticker belongs.

And this is why I ditched Tapatalk... I didn't see this comment till now, more than a month later!
Thanks! I'm still looking to do a little more modeling on it. I've printed a couple for some people to test out but nothing really in terms of official release or sales (for those that can't print.)
Decals? I've been thinking of doing some that fill in the button hole and makes the power decal spot flush. It will be all one piece so it won't be functional and more for those with mechs.
