Hellboy movie (2004) Samaritan Speedloaders

[orntar]

Got some time to prep and assemble.

It works pretty well. Needs some sanding and it may work perfectly. You can see me flick it a bit with my finger to get the rest to drop.

Hey orntar, any progress on this fantastic project?

 

[orntar]

Lost motivation. I need to get back into it. I also designed a static version, so I need to get that printed and tested as well.

How does the mechanism work on this? I can’t quite make out what is going on in the footage for how the bullets are released through twisting the knob.

It has some mechanicals and springs inside that move the teeth a tiny bit when you twist it. I designed in cad and fusion over many hours. I am hesitant yet to show it off, but may release the files later at some point.

Well, I decided to hop back in and post some internal photos.

Here is the bottom

closeup, I added the needed springs

Here is how it now works with springs, also shows how the teeth move

Ohh lovely, very well done! I'm already wondering how this would cast in Pewter

That would be something! I wonder if pewter would hold it shape for those little arms...

I still need to print the non moving one, similar to relicmakers. That would probably be more sturdy.

Temp is still too low around here for me to print.
