Hope it works in the bare metal, once we've proved that covering them is next. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 hello, i think both gun holders when all done and finished with Lins leather work are going to look very good, 21 hours ago, Demonic69 said: 1st prototype hello, what materials can you use on these 3 D printers, it is such a fascinating concept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are harder to print, other are brittle or flexible. I tend to use PLA for most prototyping, then PET-G if I need it to be durable. ABS is string, but I rarely get it to print right. I also use TPU for flexible applications, works great for things for the kids or camera mounts/covers. I've printed toys, car parts, bike parts, gun parts, caravan parts, lights, food things.. all sorts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demonic69 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 The Creality CR-10 or a clone of it seem to work well. I've had mine for years and it's pretty out of date but it's setup right and I'm scared to replace it They take a fair amount of initial calibration. Then you have t stay on top of your settings etc. But once it's dialled in you can print all-sorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, arrived today, pictures below. It's an absolutely perfect fit for a left handed person. The metal tang unfortunately needs to be the other way for right handed. The metalwork is perfect and fits the action like a glove. I tried it on the foregrip to see if it worked other way but it's a fraction too tight. If Lin covers them in leather they maybe need to be made the thickness of the leather bigger for a snug fit. Lovely piece of workmanship and thank you very much.👍 Edited February 18, 2020 by Centrepin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Okay that was the first prototype. So we have another go with more width and the rear tang moved to the front. Rewind...... I think we just go with widening the gap for the body of the gun. How much wider then Andy, will 5mm do?

Absolutely, it's a good fit but with leather might be a squeeze. 1st picture is normal fit 2nd is pushed up tight to the action. Will of course depend on the thickness of leather.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Okay, I will make another one to the same design but 5mm wider do you think that would be enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would wait to see what Lin says, she's the leather expert, anything from me is just a guess at best. So a guess, if the leather is 2mm or 2.5mm (that's what my belt is) 5mm maybe perfect or even a couple of mm big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Okay, that makes good sense, will wait til Lin has had a look. Edited February 18, 2020 by TIGHTCHOKE TOO MANY t's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangs perfect though, once the strap is adjusted its naturally to hand and just feels right ( even on my left side) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems so naturally in place. At a push now I could do a walked shoot, cartridges in gun, gun in holster, drop my stick and lift the gun in one movement, close and fire. At least after some practice. At worst I don't have to slip my gun to move a few yards. I know people put them over their shoulder but I'm unsteady, don't want to drop it or hit anyone with it.

Demonic69 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 What's the angle of that one? Does it need to be increased a little or is it better shallower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
