POP Contest - Rainmaker's entry

[Rainmaker]

Here's my starting pile of parts. All of which I have had in the trunk of my car for over a year (wow, has it really been that long? )

I don't have a clear path forward yet, but I did get it all out of the trunk and take pictures, so there's that at least.

- Most of a WGP autococker
- Functioning Rainmaker board and solenoid


EDIT: Finished!
Parts list:
- $60: Base autococker
- $40: Rainmaker parts
- $6: Brass tubing
- $8: Material for 3D printed parts
- $3: Random wiring and switches
- $5: New barb for LPR
TOTAL: $122

You where hiding this in the trunk of your car so the wife wont know you bought more parts again?

This path does not seem clear for us too... but I like where it seem to go already.
Interesting cross breeding between Brass eagle and WGP

[Rainmaker]

Ha ha. You caught me.

My thought was to replace the cocker 3way with the rainmaker solenoid, and hide the board somewhere. I don't know, maybe it won't work. If it did, I guess I'll call it the Raincocker? Or the Cockmaker?

[Axel]

I'll list it as "Raincocker" for now, let me know if you want it switched to something else

[Arthur]

I dunno but Cockmaker gets my vote, just sayin.

[DavidBoren]

Cockmaker.

[Jordan]

I'd recommend an open bolt conversion of some kind.

I'd recommend an open bolt conversion of some kind.

I have no idea how I would do that, but definitely open to the idea! I'll have to do some research

[Jordan]

Lock the bolt and hammer together via the backblock and use the RM board and noid to drive the ram - voila, instant Ego/Timmy.

[Axel]

My, Jordan, you ARE the evil genius. I love it

[Rainmaker]

Sweet! Sounds like a plan

[Rainmaker]

This is where im thinking if mounting the solenoid. I'd probably make a 3d printed bracket to mount it off of the 3way threaded hole. Then mount the board and 9 volt in the grip (fingers crossed). That might mean a 3d printed grip frame too.

[Riot]

Cockmaker, for sure.

[XEMON]

Hell yeah!

[Rainmaker]

Solenoid bracket, rough draft. Printing now...

[Rainmaker]

Like a glove!

Bracket printed and solenoid mounted. I added a hole through the threaded portion si I can run the solenoid wires through when I'm ready to clean up the wiring.

[Rainmaker]

Front block mocked up

[XEMON]

Dam you're quick ...
looks good 👍

So Jordan, would I be able to remove the sear entirely then?

[Jordan]

Yes...and the mainspring/IVG.

[Rainmaker]

Working on the grip frame:

[Rainmaker]

Well, let's go an ugly direction. It's supposed to be Poo after all.

So the RM board just baaarely fits into the grip frame I made. There's not enough room in there for the 9v battery as well. So I thought of a couple options.
Mount a battery box on the sight rail
Make some kind of foregrip for the battery
Or just screw it, I'll make a fat chunky grip thing and stick it in there.

I went for the last option, and here it is. The top of the battery area is kinda doubling as a thumb rest, which is neat. But it's definitely not pretty. The brass tubes are going to be for routing wires.

[XEMON]

I kinda like the look of the battery on the side of the frame ... Looks like a the rest ...

[RuleOfSines]

Really doesn't look bad, that battery hump doesn't seem any more aggressive than a set of match grips

[KMDPB]

That's dope! Are you 3d printing the frame?
