3D printers for airgun parts??

[Woogie_man]

Ok guys I have been thinking about getting a printer for different airgun parts and bits. I have done a bunch of drafting and CADD things in the past so that isn't going to be an issue. Though the entire printer side of it is a mystery for me. So I have been looking at a few different units and am curious what you guys have used or currently use.

The one I am leaning towards is the Bambu Labs X1C with the AMS. Being a moderately older guy..... what do you guys think?

I have the Bambu Lab P1S with the AMS and I am very happy with the performance and quality

I am weighing the differences between the X1 or the X1C....figure if I am doing this, I might as well go for broke. Would more than likely upgrade anyway hut not sure I'd the additions would be worth it.

I bought a Bambu X1c about a year & a half ago. It has been trouble free & prints great. I also debated between the P1S & X1C decide I liked the extra features of the X1C. The AMS is great if I had the room I’d add a 2nd one for 8 colors. Think all Bambu printers are on sale currently.

Yup I just put an order in for an X1c......wife was ok with it, so I went for it.

Now I need to start playing with the cad program.

What are some of the things that you are planning on making with it?

 

[Woogie_man]

Planning on making a few parallax wheels, some different airgun parts, single shot loader, slug holder, and others. Wife is thinking of things we can make as well for the house.

Maybe you'll turn into HAM's homegrown Buck-Rail!

Using Freecad v1.0 works well for me

Been playing with Fusion 360 right now and I need to get a mouse for my laptop. But will be playing with a few things to see what I can't make for the rifles.

She's the best!

She is, but I also worry about what she wants in return. lol

Me too. Always makes me feel so cheap afterwards.

Pellet sorter?

I didn’t know it was that kind of thread so I change my response to “divider” for a confession booth.

 

[Woogie_man]

Not a sorter, but looking at the paint jig I have for the back of pellets and slugs. I have a 22 and a 25 jig that is looking kind of rough. So was looking at reprinting some components to get things new.

This was also me playing around to get used to the functions of Fusion 360

It'll cost you, but it's worth it!
