M41A Pulse Rifle 3d print.

[Seananigans]

Having hardly any experience with cad design software I hit my first hurdle so i decided on the basic Tinkercad and all the PR files from the interwebs I could lay my hands on. Anyways I managed to print a rough Spas cage/Remington 870 prototype/mock-up with working 'pump' and I'm just printing a polished second version....I found working cad files for the M1921 Thompson machine gun which I have started adapting into the later version Thompson needed including the modified grip, I have discarded/simplified most of the inner workings of the gun to suit. The shroud is giving me headache after headache due to the poor quality files available but where there's a will there's a way......Sean.

The more refined Pulse Rifle spas cage/Remington with metallic rack action , I used a spring loaded ball bearing seated in the side of the Remington bolt and a steel bar with two holes drilled a inch or so apart for it to slide along giving a satisfying CH CHUNK racking sound. I'm going to remodel the bolt with a few more aesthetic details, the carrier where the shells are inserted needs modelling then it's on to the Thompson. The last two pics are the PR I first 3d printed with the new spas cage/Remington fitted, it is very old split up print split up from thingiverse by Jace and is a dog to work with due to escalating/poor resolution on the original file it's a 'non functioning ' model with a solid shroud.

]Pulse Rifle Remington working trigger assembly/carrier ,fires after each rack,Thompson machine gun with trigger and bolt action on the printer and the PR shroud cad just wants finishing off and chopping up to fit the Ender3.....

All major parts finished, clam shell shroud and all clamps, Thompson machine gun/grip/ Thompson block extension,..the Thompson which is fully working has 18hr's left of a two and half day print then I need to cut the shroud into 3 large parts/1 small part to fit my printer....many thanks to Tazvader for nudging me in the right direction...Sean.

Awesome work!
I'm printing out two versions from Thingiverse, both are non-functional. Each has it's strengths and weaknesses. Your files seem to all fit with no cutting/grinding or gobs of body filler.

thanks fella, yeah the greeen shroud in the pics is a solid Pulse Rifle from Thingiverse by Jace, the resolution was really bad and needed loads of filling and sanding..

Fantastic work!.. ive printed a few parts to this but im having trouble with the spas cage, Looks like you used tinkercad. I cant get your version to load into tinkercad cause it says the mesh is too high and i need to reduce it. Im trying to split it up because i have a small print bed. Any help from more experienced 3d'ers would be greatly apreciated. thanks
