Interest DISCONTINUED Van Hellsing (2004) crossbow DIY kit 3D printed FDM + resin

[cassius]

Just wanna check if more people would be interested in a kit for the crossbow

Price: 349 usd + shipping

This kit will still require some additional parts like wooden "sticks" for bols, rods, screws.

This kit is compatible with both springs and rubber bands.

I will be posting pics for what this kit is going to include.

One of my 'grail' items. Really looking forward to seeing this come together.

Well, I won't be assembling it since it ships as DIY kit but gonna try to show you as much as I can

 

[SATELLITE74]

Very nice.

So resin print for the details and PLA for the larger parts? Or are you going to resin cast those?

PETG for the most part and PLA for one main frame piece since it's big flat and refuses to stick to the bed with any other materials . I'm also considering 3D printing the bottle with resin, seems it would be a nice upgrade considering the amount of details it has

Just some arrow tips

Yeah, you'd loose a lot of detail in prepping the printed parts for paint. Blimmin print lines!

So no plans to resin cast parts? She'd be a thing of beauty in resin!

Unfortunately no... Never made one for myself...

 

[JANDERS10]

Is there any detail on the arrow magazine?

 

[cassius]

It seems to be a cool project to refresh and review after those years. Let me clean the project file and I will drop some renders. If anyone will be interested I would love to improve what's reasonable and print even more elements in resin this time

Current mess:

 

[Jemjem]

I’m interested.

Okay, this is how it moreless looks like. Fast cleanup so some things might be missing or out of place a bit.

In order to do a run again I would have to ask for 429 + shipping and I need at least 2 people.

In exchange I would perform some improvements to the model and print additional elements in resin instead of FDM. Otherwise, unfortunately I do not have time for it.

EDIT:
Looks like there will be no interest afterall so due to lack of time and other projects I will not be considering making this stuff anymore. In case anyone needs it you gonna have to find it elsewhere, sorry.

Cheers,
Cassius
