Thread: I've been Tinkering

I've been tinkering, well to be more precise I've been doing some 3D design in TinkerCad and getting it printed at my local library.

I need a project to do, something relatively small but challenging for me as it's been about 20 years since I did any CAD work.

So I decided to have a go at designing and printing a copy of my FTR rifle's trigger guard.
An interesting shape with lots of curves, holes and a slot.

4th and final prototype (see pictures). Bonus is that it is 10 grammes lighter than the original - which can help in a shooting class with a weight limit.

I will get some printed in different colours and higher density printing. Should be about $4-$5 each to print.
