Thread: 3D Printing

Plastic ‘blocks’ that could be used inside old Ammo boxes, to replace the cardboard dividers and styrofoam blocks.
I’d use them for reloads that are stored inside the old Norma and PPU boxes.

the plastic ones from federal that hold a row of cartridges without them rattling in the bumbag.....

K31 swiss stripper clips

How bigger objects can you print?

Flip up scope covers, maybe see through like Kahles etc. Arca rails for the bottom of your stock so you can fit it to a tripod for PRS shooting.

Usually about 6x6 inches and maybe 8 inches high. You can get bigger 3D printers but not so common. There is a website here with loads of cool stuff and downloadable files to print your own versions.

I had some stuff on here about 10 years ago. My step son is still involved as he runs 3D printers as part of his CNC business. His company build and sell CNC machines in Christchurch

I just Put in a screw where front sight was and use that to have the silencer bayonet fitted push on and turn, no screw threading needed just a slot in silencer.

I've printed a bottom metal to get a marlin xs7 to accept howa magazines, a knife handle, a 10/22 chassis, shell holders, a shitty .22 magazine, vehicle fuse holders, sockets, and a ton of irrigation parts.

After you've done your reloading tray, something like this would be easy to design and print: https://www.trademe.co.nz/3700598495

Could one of these be made. Would be a nice extra safety to have when bush stalking. I use the safety on the howa anyway but I've always been uneasy about it,be nice to have 2 safetys that can be near silently deactivated. Of course having the rifle unloaded would be best but that's not practical when there's a deer 20metres away looking at you

Disposable powerheads for freediving would be neat - especially if the calibre could be chosen...
They do them in the us, but hard to get over here.

I was looking at length of pull spacers on trademe the other day. They would be useful for many people I imagine.

Designing them would require some cad but yes that would be a great idea.
