Basic paint job, my dumb ass glued the rings and that on before painting to match the breach and CBF masking everything off. Just need to get something for the sling. Fits one of those mini nerf football things straight down the barrel too.
Furthering the adventure of fitting the LDT ATM gearbox into classic army XM177. Needed more room at front of receiver for the bolt to come forward 3mm or so.
Bought a 26mm hole saw and turned some holders on lathe to hold it in place.
Does it still count if the project is currently files on a pc thats on my bench?
Smg conversion, uses the lower and barrel of a rifle and a impact grenade i found online, planning on printing and building in the next few months when i get my big filament order in so i can do a fair few colors and no one can say if they find them its theirs.
Just a FYI, the muzzle doesn’t fit gel barrels, so you’ll nees to drill it out cause it’s just gonna mash gels otherwise, it’s like less than 1mm but it’s enough.
Also the model is quite tight on tolerances so adjust for that with your settings, it goes together fine but a mallet was involved.
Thanks for that, interesting that the muzzle is weird since it says that it is designed for gels, as for tolerances it will be prototyped first so can always scale slightly if need be before printing in the color i want to go with.
Just a update, took a look at it and yea would look better with a suppressor then the muzzle, there is one i found that might work depending on the filament and if its green or purple PREDATOR MK3 5" Suppressor With Hop Up - X-Force Tactical
That kit has its own barrel nut doesn’t it? That suppressor more or less replaces that part unless you’re threading it with the 14mm part, but even then I don’t know if that would actually fit diameter wise inside the front grip part.
I could be thinking of a different kit, I’ve printed a boat load of them.
There was another can similar to that one that I think was a bit thinner and might fit thou.
Edit: yeah that 5" one is listed as being 5cm wide but the other is listed as 3cm so might fit better.
Gel Blaster MP15 SMG Conversion by Superpoo - Thingiverse this is the one im looking at, if it doesnt work can always adapt it to my needs and wants, i dont know if it would fit those suppressors and cant check cause money be tight and i dont have a rifle to try with anyways (yay car needing rear main seal and rocker cover gasket at the same time).
Yeah that kit has its own barrel nut, you can just measure the inside of the grip part once it’s printed and find a can that’ll fit inside, I think I had just used (when I was using it) one of those barrel/t-piece adaptors that is just a 14mm thread and used an appropriate length barrel piece to get the desired length.
… If any of that made sense, I’m like half asleep rn…
