3D Printing in the Gun Room

[kneedtospeed]

Someguy, from another site was good enough to print me a 3D Case Feeder, for my progressive press. He made some of his own improvements to previous designs, and it feeds 100% !
It has never had a single hiccup. It is way better than the mfg option, at a fraction of the cost.
Thanks Perry

Try to learn something like Fusion 360

That case for the comparitors is perfect !

I got a 3D printer for Christmas, and have done a few gun related items. Here is a pic of a load block for my 6BR, a power throw handle for a Leupold scope, and a 3" rider block for the fore end so it fits a 3" benchrest style front rest.

Very nice, did you design the rider block or is that something downloadable from the web ? Thanks

That is sweet, I really dig the design and the color is pretty cool too.

Here it is at the SHOT SHOW.

Great photo,that is impressive . I really like the design also, I no longer have rifles that would need that grip...but if I ever do again I will be sure to contact you.

What make and model of printer are you using?

What make and model of printer are you using?

I have two Dremel 3d40

That Hornady case comparitor case is simply a work of art. I'm in line for one when you decide to market it.

I designed it myself using Fusion360, a free 3D design program. Here is a link to the posting

It is necessary to get a lot of measurements from the stock to insure it fits properly.

Can these things scan and reproduce a part?

They can if you have a 3D scanner, but those are way out of my price range.

Although I've only been 3d printing for a couple of years, I now would be lost without it. I've printed loads of shooting stuff, all my own designs. Here's a few.
Clamp on camera bracket.

Labradar sight (attaches with a magnet)

Single shot adapter for CZ .22lr rifles.

Adjustable shooting specs

Magnetic gun rack.

Box inserts for Cap&Ball

45-70 loading tray.

Thank you , much appreciated .

Some printed racks or stands for guns while in the loading room. Screw to the edge of bench style,and other,sit on top of bench. Nothing fancy or complex..... just a convenience thing when rigs have to spend time on the loading bench.

I have 18 years Autocad with reasonable 3d capability. Also some Inventor 3d and Studio Max kind of stuff.
When modeling with these programs what are the typical file types generated. Are any using .dxf or .dwg or .stp files?

 

[686 Shooter]

Here is my finalized design of the parts box for my press. It's held on by two magnets embedded in the walls that butt up against the press.



I want to start learning Fusion 360, if I can find the time.

I have used several 3D programs to make parts on my 3D printer. They have some native program that they use to store their own drawing, then you use a "mesh" program to convert it to a *.stl file. You then put the *.stl file in a Slicer program, which outputs a *.gcode file, which is used by the printer.
