New stl files on Egnyte!

In the folder "3D for Printing"

Front grip, second version.

We're having this milled on monday. It's basically smaller here and there and a bit stronger in the hinge.

First 3D print and new recoil video

Here are some pictures of our first 3d FDM print which includes most of the back portion of the gun, minus the place for the touchpad above the grip.

Some of our observations:
1) Everything is bigger than it seems. Our recoil housing is currently way too big, so we're going to continue to refine it. The basic shape and support is good though.

2) The shell doesn't have to be too thick. I made them 0.2 inches (~0.5 cm), and that was way too thick. It can be less than half of that.

3) The snap fitting of male and female pieces works well, but your prototype's screw enclosure is probably better for easier opening and closing.

4) Recoil works pretty crazily at 9V. (maybe too much?)

3D model at the moment

It's all ready for printing and I can't wait to start assembling it.

Sickday in Sickdivision

I've got the flu, but I'm working hard. Bang bang!




Loads of everything still missing (buttons, touchpad, thumbstic) and a ton of work to be done before this is ready for printing.
