what 3D printed airgun accessories would you like to see made??

SSP-250 loading gates

Mrod single shot loading trays for .30, .257, .357 or any requested caliber...  (like .172 or 6mm)

A larger Prod type fore end for those that want to use JSAR's AR grip/stock parts- or an AR grip adapter/trigger guard is printed

Prod type barrel band to go along with above Prod type fore end

A better looking trigger guard to replace the Mrod Gen 2 one.

How about magazines for QB78/79, or Maximus.

Unfortunately a printed loading gate will not hold up.  We need those made out of brass or aluminum.

They do make an AL/Plastic mix that is printable. A bit more pricey but definitely holds up. Have used several different prints of the AL/Plastic blend and it has held the test of time.

Weren't the originals made from injection molded plastic?  I'd like to see them made from brass or aluminium too, but there's no one out there doing it.  Since metal lasts much longer than plastic, once someone buys one, they probably won't buy another.  Unless they have a need for a 2nd caliber, or have another SSP-250.  They would probably be on the expensive side as well (for what they are).
 At least w/3d printing and the right material and 100% fill, they'll be at least as durable as the originals...  And we would have a source of them for a long time.

You 3D guys, check this out;



Not all plastics nowadays, and likely the future of design/prototypes.  Make sure to watch it all the way thru.  Very cool stuff.

If i was wrong then I stand corrected.  I hope there is something that will do it.  I love my SSP.
It seems to me that a plastic with aluminum in it would provide more compressive strength but not much more tensile or shear strength.  If I am mistaken about that then that is awesome.

At any rate 3D printing is super cool.

What I meant was, 3D printing the SSP loading gates is much more cost effective than making them from metal, thus creators will be more willing to make them for sale.  Also, if someone were to publish the files, anyone with a 3D printer, the correct material and a need can print the loading gate.  It wasn't my intent to come off as bashing anyone.  My apologies if that's how the post came off.

Tom,

I did not take your post as bashing anyone, not even a little. 

From what i have seen of 3d printing, which amazes me, however I just have not seen anything made which would have the strength at the pivot pins which is where they fail.  I MAY BE COMPLETELY WRONG about that, just my observation of parts I have seen made so far.  There may very well be print settings which will create more solid pieces.  I also have only seen a few print materials used as well.

I agree with you Tom 100% that if printed gates could be made which are as strong as originals then I would order several.  We are all looking for the same thing.   

BTW  apologies to OP.  I certainly did not intend to hijack the thread.  I do think this is a valid conversation though and would love to see more discussion in its own thread if someone with more knowledge than me would care to start it wherever it belongs.

PS,  I am not in any way trying to denigrate 3d printing.  I cannot wait to get a printer.

How about single shot trays for the 760 and other crosman guns that normally require those 5 shot pellet clips.
Of course the old 4 shot ones double as a single shot feed tray, but in general I don't like these clips left sticking out of the gun, in my experience they often break In the middle.

Posted for 120 days... was the warning on the page, funny; it is actually about 5 years ago !

I purchased an FX Dynamic Express with ARCA Rail under the barrel.
Interesting mounting system but not comfortable to wrap your hand around for extended length of time.

I need someone that will design and print a Forend for this Airgun and to mount to the ARCA Rail (a biggy) or maybe to the flat of the rail and mount using the M-Loks that are part of the ARCA Rail System.

If interested, I will gladly work with you, measuring, fitting, what ever is necessary...if wanted !
Basic measurements start with the standard ARCA Rail width, the Flat mounting to the rail, and the M-Loks Spacing.
Then we would need to determine the chamber end of the new Forend to slip in a open area.
Actual look of the Forend would be taller by the chamber end, then reduce in size to fit the "BEST FEEL" for holding the Airgun on the business end of the barrel.

That's all folks on my thoughts, anything further we would have to talk.

Thanks ahead of time to anyone that thinks they want to try this project.   I have not found anything in the market shaped like a full length Forend, just small fillers panels, M-Lok Handles, or nothing to enlarge the grip area.

GOD Bless all !
