Daisy Powerline 426 suppressor silencer .stl file for 3d printing

[Mel]

Mel,

Version 5 of the rear daisy 426 moderator has the bore axis shifted up by 0.4 mm, relative to the pistol barrel bore.  It also has the moderator rear hole diameter increased by 0.5 mm; as requested.

The zipped STL is attached

Print it first, before we declare victory

By the way, i see Zip contains rear part, i guess front part should also be modified to meet bore at the same line
When i try v5 i guess you will post front part so that i can get a full suppressor?

Mel,

That is a good question, but no, the front section is the same as for V4. 

If you think about it, I moved the moderator rail on the rear section down by 0.4 mm relative to the moderator bore axis.  That moves the moderator bore up relative to the pistol when the rail mate.  The front and rear moderator sections share the same bore axis and are aligned on the outside, and via the prongs and slots.

I hope that makes sense.

Yes, i understand,very Interesting
I guess you maintained distance from the top of suppressor so that the same front part can be used
Very intelligent solution!

Well, moving the bore of the moderator relative the the "box"  would be a lot of work.  But moving the rail is a 5 minute job.  So, I choose to do the latter.

I applaud you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Very clever and pro job!
I learn new stuff everyday 😃

Good morning!
I just started printing v5 rear part
I sliced it with Cura, it seems it optimizes printing and will do a better job
To begin with, generated .gcode file is 25% lighter than the one by Easyware (6mb vs 8mb) what makes me think printing is optimized and it will even take less time
Stay tuned!

[Mel]

By the way, this is the printer i bought
I know it is not an european or USA product and it is very entry level for beginners but it had ridiculous price and fast shipping for my first tests and prints. Happy with it.

There are so many choices for printers, it can be hard to choose.

I slice my designs in Cura before "publishing" them to see if there are obvious problems.  Despite not printing them myself.

Hi subscriber!
Alignment is perfect! Rail attachment is perfect!
Cura slicing did a much better job than Easyware
Same printer, completely different results
Now printing v4 front part
The only defect i see is that the biggest prong hole became transparent,very thin wall? Printing error? (pic 3)
I think it won't be a problem if prong in front piece covers the hole, i'll see when printing finishes.
Thanks 4 great job!

[Mel]

Final thoughts!
Hi subscriber, i finally joined the two parts
If i could ask a final change, and although they are very cool, i would eliminate the prongs and their holes as they are too long and weak, i had to cut them a little and they broke just with handling
Besides that, all the rest is perfect and very happy with that. A suggestion might be just a mark like a dot or triangle in both parts for matching when glueing instead of the prongs.
Btw, would you like to share your creation with your name in Thingiverse for other Daisy 426 users to see? As you did great job it might be cool other people can enjoy it. Or maybe you would prefer them to register and download from this forum if interested.
So a final v6 version without prongs? I don't mind at all print it for testing. It would be my 4th full  printed version LOL
If not, v5 is great, glued and ready as a final version, completely satisfied
Thank you subscriber for all!

Mel,

I designed the walls rather thin to make the part very light, as it hangs from the rail.  The other reason I made the walls thin was to have more open space inside for the external volume.

I wonder if the walls had been thicker would the outside surface be more even?  Or, is that roughness an artifact of the cantilever gantry printer?  I do get the impression that the surface and general shape is more true using the Cura slicer.

Either way, sanding the surface roughness out is not an option; so filling it in with glue, dented car panel "body filler", or wall smoothing cellulose plaster and then sanding it seems to be the only option.

While I am at it, I will post the STL for a one-piece moderator of this design, later, so people with a larger printer can make it.

EDIT I will do a version without the prongs also.

Glad to hear it subscriber!
For me no other changes are needed than eliminate the prongs and maybe adding matching marks, although i didnt find any problem when matching by myself.
The walls will be thick enough without prongs, no need to modify that at all.
Very good idea a version in 1part for others with bigger printer.
Very thankful to you for all the time dedicated to this interesting adventure!

Version 6 two-piece moderator has the prongs and slots removed; and alignment simples added underneath.

Version 6 is also saved as a one-piece conventional part.  See images below.  STLs are saved in two ZIP files to keep them organized.

[subscriber]

One piece Version 6.  STL attached below.

[Mel]

WOW subscriber, you are the f*cking master
Always impressed with your designs! Love the 2 matching dots under the suppressor
I think we conclude here
It all started when i asked for help finding a 2021 .stl file and you offered selfless help with a new design!
And i told you "but it must have baffles", not knowing the master work you could do LOL
THANKS!!!!!!

I posted the link to the Version 6 files on the BB gun section of GTA Forum:

I have hundreds of designs that I decided not to post to Thingyverse or other forums, but you are welcome to post links to this thread, or the direct reply links to Version 6.  I you do not know how to post direct links, post the link directly above in this reply.

As an example, here are two similar looking (but internally different) moderators I designed a few days ago for the Huben GK1 pistol, as requested by forum member JungleShooter.  The picture was sent to me today by forum member miksatx of his two GK1 pistols, sporting the new mods that he printed for himself:

Hi subscriber, i agree that's the best decision, let people search Daisy 426 suppressor in this forum and keep the stl here. If someone search "Daisy 426 suppressor" at Google, 1st or 2nd link will lead him/her here

WOW, these look much more complex moderators, great job as the others you published in this forum! (I made an advanced search by member "subscriber" and word "moderator", "silencer" and "suppressor" and saw your other works)

Last final version V6
I reinforced rail joint line with some superglue just in case
Thanks subscriber!

Edit: in 2 last pics, the 2 bottom suppressors were sliced with Cura instead of Easyware, huge difference with the same 65€ printer

[subscriber]

That moderator looks good on the pistol.  Any larger would be too large.

Yes i agree, looks great!

Just to clarify last pic from top to bottom:
1st short rail
2nd 0.4mm misalignment
3rd broken prongs glued
4rd final without prongs
All of them are fully functional!
Thanks subscriber!
(All with rail repaired with superglue,need to buy better pla or PLA+ or PLA meta i heard about)
