First a short introduction as to why I'm doing this.
I cosplay for charity at various events and sometimes it's just not appropriate to carry realistic looking firearms. Stargate has mostly contemporary firearms, so I needed something less 'realistic'. A space gun
So I found a 3D file for the Particle Magnum that Ronon Dex made famous. I kept it laying around in case I got access to a printer. Luck had it that I came across one for a very reasonable price, so I jumped at it.
This is me very first 3D-printed project and it's also the first I do with moving parts and electronics. So I'm way out of my comfort zone here
So this is the first batch of printed parts. All went well this far.
After these parts I tried printing the cylinder parts, and that is still causing me problems with getting sturdy enough prints.
Looks like I'm going to have to edit the model for the cylinder insert. But that's a later lesson.
And this is where I'm at right now. I've glued the frame and the muzzle parts together and mocked up some of the other parts.
Most parts have been filed and sanded. I've added some Tamiya Putty to even some parts out.
The kit has cable runs and cavities for holding electronics, but there are no plans for those. So I'm making it up as I go along.
I'll stick with simple lights only, no trigger action. The trigger is spring loaded though, so that's nice!
