M60 Machine Gun Prop 3D printable 1:1

[TazMan2000]

I have the receiver and rail blueprints at home rolled up along with the M79 receiver that i had printed out many years ago. I use to have an 80% receiver many years back but sold it. Probably have the Army Tech manual too. I can give you any measurements off the blueprints.. Not sure how easy to make copies though as they are big, like 2-3 ft big. Now that i think about it i probably have the files i printed them from . Its been 20 years. Ill check when i get home.

It's appreciated. Are they those rail blueprints available on archive.org?

Yup those are them so you should be set.

Initially, I wasn't planning on making any components move, and that still may be the case, but things still need to 'look' like they move. I still have to figure out the cover latch.

You're going all in in terms of details there Taz

 

[TazMan2000]

Some progress. I redid the foregrip since I wasn't satisfied with the shape ( I may redo it again to provide more detail). The gas tube grips were made more accurate and made a charging handle. I still have to do the rear sight and a few details with the rear part of the M60 to accommodate turning it into a M60D pintle mounted version.

The amount of details is insane...you're a machine Taz

This is an incredible project!! Any idea how long it will take to print?

Thanks! I have no idea how long it would take yet, but there are some parts with a lot of detail, so that will slow down the travel on an FDM printer. I'm still redesigning some parts, hopefully for the better. A few parts such as the sight above, would most likely need printing on a resin printer.

The new foregrip curves were redesigned and the ribbing was redefined and rounded.

Looking good Taz! I've seen your stuff around on Cults, and some of it has been very tempting.

That's awesome!! Have you started printing yet?

Not yet. My ADHD has me doing more designing and other projects first.
So much on the go...much only partially done.
If I live forever, I still think I would only complete half of what I have to do.

Looking very sharp...and lethal

Do you have the STL files for this?
