Re: 3D Printed Blade Runner Gun Kit
We've been talking here on the best way to handle all the small screws on this gun. The way I'm feeling now is that we will leave small holes in the plastic where one could insert their own metal screw heads into (see above image). Though the screws wouldn't screw in, you'd have to cut off the heads and glue them in place.
Here's the reasons why:
1) The accuracy will be obviously better.
2) These screw heads are VERY small, I'm not sure how well the printer will handle the detail on 3mm screws.
3) It's more flexible and fun. It lets those who have always wanted to "build" a blade runner gun actually simulate doing so.
I'd like to know if anyone is opposed to this. Maybe it becomes an option:
1) You find your own screws
2) I provide the screws, you pay extra.
Most of the screws are allen key type screws (M6, M8 style). I've got quite a few of these and it they look perfect. There are a few other type of flat head set screws, and I bet I could find those too.
Please give me some feedback. Do you like the idea? Do you not? Would it prevent you from buying one? Can you find your own screws? Do you want some included as an option?
My count is somewhere between 15 and 20 screws. Depending on the level of accuracy you want, you could use the above pictured screw and be pretty damn accurate. I'll try to source out some smaller slot headed set screws if there's a demand.
