Interest Steel Cylinders and Barrels for DaveChaos & AndersEFP Blade Runner Blaster!

[dcast]

Are the parts in question (cylinder and barrel) compatible with the "AndersFP PKD-2019 Blade Runner blaster" on Thingiverse?

I have printed at 0.2 layer height for the most part. The small parts (triggers and switches) ar printed at 0.05 layer height to get all the detail. Version history: 1.01: Unfortunately I discovered a problem with the clip - I made the "on/off box" too big, so the switch lever did not protrude...

I believe some tweaks have been made to the model for the Tip Top Workshop kits and DaveChaos' run but they seem minor and shouldn't affect these parts. Be nice to know if these parts will work for those of us going with DIY 3D prints?

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get one of the metal kits but the waiting list for DaveChaos' run is HUGE so it's gonna be years before I'd get one, plus I'm in Australia with extremely strict gun laws so there's a high chance customs would stop it and destroy it. Doing my own is my best option

Yes they are the same files/prints, I downloaded the files and printed them in October 2023, white prints in the photo, and the black parts are from Dave's kit. Hope this helps...

Apollo ind, I may change to blued cylinder based on samples.

Hi! You can add me on the interest list for 1x steel cylinder and 1x steel barrel. These will be awesome to add to my kit when it arrives!

 

[Darth Infamous]

Hello. Can you add me to the interest list for 1x steel cylinder please. Thanks

 

[kingohorror]

I'm interested in 1 steel cylinder and 1 steel barrel non blued if you could put me on the list please. Thanks.

What is the status of the cylinder at this point?

Hey there! Yes it has been a minute, and haven’t definitively decided what direction to go with the cylinder rotation section just yet. Have had a family medical issue that has taken some extra time away from props lately.

That being said, the interest lists haven’t quite filled up yet. And due to this I haven’t poked my machinist too hard because I haven’t fulfilled the minimum order amount yet. I HAVE however gotten some offers from other members on barrels for this run, and Tomenosuke cylinders for that run. To fulfill anyone who wanted something even though we didn’t meet the minimum.

I will follow up with this as soon as possible, until then I will brainstorm some more with my machinist and we will have something definitive to offer should we meet the requirements! Thanks to those who are interested!

Hi Apollo,
Hope all is well with you and the family. Can I put my name down for 1x steel cylinder Blued please

 

[HarlockFan]

I will take two cylinders and two barrels in unfinished but if the finished can be matched to the birch wood Casey finish then I would want a finished set

It looks as if we are approaching this run being full! Again I’m sure as it has been some time, the lead times may vary at this point.

I also now have a decision on the cylinder rotation fins. After talking with a few members here, given that the functionality of the cylinder rotation fins is purely cosmetic, I believe the excessive efforts to add this in are going to be futile. Now, what we could do is accommodate for those who want to add them in by machining a recess to allow for it should someone desire to have one printed or made. Unless everyone is okay with it being simply flat on the back, then it will save time altogether.

How does this sound? Looking for honest feedback here, as I want to provide you all with something you can be happy with.

Personally, I'm fine with it being flat on the back.

 

[dcast]

I am also fine with it being flat on the back

 

[anh1977]

It’s fine by me too

That's fine with me as well. The Anders model does not work like Tomenosuke. There is no rotation on trigger pull, so I don't see a need here. The metal itself will add the weight which is what I am looking for.

 

[MandoJedi]

I have no problem with it.
