Let's see your 3D printed parts/models/ideas

That is very cool!
However.
Had I done the same for my daughter when she was young?
I'd have had to listen to her say,
"So you took parts from a hoopty then your beer cans to make that? Your not a good dad!!"

[Rob M]

lol, thankfully she can just say " juice " and " NO  " for now.

[Privateer]

My daughter stopped talking to me years ago.
 
I'd actually love her to just call me and say juice or no.

[Rob M]

well, if shes an adult she will realize you only get 2 parents.. ( hopefully

Did some AXA tool holders.

Nothing fancy, but they are definitely functional.

Printed from Atomic Filament carbon fiber reinforced PETG.

These were based off of ones I found on Thingiverse that were designed to be held with a wood screw. I wanted to be able to move mine around if needed.

2020 extrusion mounted to the lathe splash guard with M5x15mm machine screws with hammer nuts in the channel.

Tool holders have a tab that fits into the extrusion channel. Held in with a M3x40mm machine screw with a hammer nut in the channel. 1/4 turn loosens the holder so it can be moved around if needed.

Still need to make end caps for the extrusion eventually.

It’s a lot of tool holders, but I hate swapping tools in and out of them, and I’m a hoarder so...

heres something i made for my daughters room , nothing complicated... its recycled aluminum ingot , made from beer cans and car rims.

That looks nice!  You're motivating me to give it a try!  Thanks...

i gotta do something like this , i got tool holders alll over the place.. its like a juggling act.

Paul , thats good .. stick to wood on the small machine though.. Metals are very unforgiving ..

I'm hoping someone with a Benjamin Armada and 3d printer will see this. I would like to have an armada barrel band implemented into the factory one that just goes into the end of the fore grip. I think it would benefit from a tighter fitting one like Tim does for the marauder. It would definitely stop the POI from shifting around. I already have a semi solution to the issue. I have some of the camo wrap around the shroud and it is pretty snug on the inside of the fore end grip. But an actual fabricated piece would be very cool.

i think INSANITY does printing for hire.. you can PM him , but youd need a comprehensive drawing im sure.

[bear air]

I would have to purchase one from Crosman or send him mine and have my gun down. That's why I was hoping someone who owns an armada and was into 3D printing seen the post lol. I've recently even thought about eliminating the fore end guard altogether and running one of Tim's. Or cutting it down some would allow the same results.

[Insanity]

I dont have the armada stock but a drawling and mesurments I can do something with.

One more functional print for the lathe.

Made a collar for a tailstock DRO. I’ve done these out of aluminum once and steel once, but I didn’t want to deal with all the work this time. All the ones in the past blocked my ball oilers, so I set out to keep them easily accessible.

I looked at putting the scale on the back of the tailstock, but the barrel lock gets in the way. The top would require me to remove the scale every time I needed to oil the tailstock, so the front it was.

The collar is split, and then tightened on the barrel of the tailstock with a single through screw. It’s thick and wide for strength and surface bearing area. Also, no shimming or anything else to screw the DRO slide on. It takes up a little room on the barrel, but all my drill chucks have room to eject normally.

This one was printed with a .6 nozzle using Atomic carbon fiber PETG. So far PETG has stood up to every oil I use in the shop, so I expect the same out of this part. 4 wall thickness. 50% 3D honeycomb infill. All hardware is M3, but it looks like I need to upsize the screw that actually holds the slide on the collar.

I’m not sure where I actually want to mount the display yet. It’s magnetic, so it can be moved anywhere, but for now I’ll see how it works where it is in the photos.

That is cool I wasn't aware you could get simple DROs like that.

I think they usually sell them as milling machine quill DROs.

This ones a mash up of a Grizzly kit and an Igauging Kit. The Grizzly scale fit better, but the Iqauging display was much nicer.

I never really liked the fact the spool was on top of the printer. I have it stuck in my head that the added weight up top can affect print quality buy flexing the frame. My next mod may be adding a second screw on the other side to help support the carriage on the off side. I have some stepper motors that I can use to drive it but I really think a belt and cog setup will be easier.

I had a print malfunction so yesterday I replaced my nozzle and releveld my bed. Also after talking some 3D printing stuffs with another member I bumped my layer height from .2mm to .3mm I see no discernible difference in visual aspect.

I picked up a arduino uno and some jumper wires today at microcenter. I need that so that I can upload a boot loader and flash it with a better firmware that includes a nice run away heat safety feature and it adds in some added tuning parameters.
