PRS Talk Best 3D Printed "stuff" you've tried?

[Budget Sniper]

I'm late to the party on this, but finally getting into 3D printing.

What 3D printed hacks, parts or accessories have you tried that you like? Looking for ideas!

Thanks

I’ve also started dipping my toes in it.

Thinking about printing a forend for a foldable chassis I’m purchasing.

I’ve made dummy rounds but I’ve seen people make a whole case feeder for reloading and a $12 motor from Amazon.

You can make a lot of chassis for .22 apparently but I’m going to try and 3d print a grain trickler. Only a matter of time before I can print a whole press.

Something I've designed (in Fusion 360) and use most frequently is an extended funnel that directs powder cleanly into the pan. It sits nicely at the top of my fx120 and drops down far enough to prevent spillage. Since I don’t use an AutoTrickler, this modification significantly streamlines my workflow with a manual trickler.

Man, thank you both for adding to the discussion! We have this incredible potential at our disposal, i really appreciate the discussion to make the most of it!

If I ever get a 3D printer, the first thing on the list of gun stuff would be to try some custom rail covers.

Like pic rail covers?

Pic rail, MLOK, etc

Thumb shelves, mag extensions, dope card holders, trickler stuff, reloading trays, clutches....lots of stuff can be printed, just depends on how much time you wanna put into it.

 

[RubiconJoey]

I've printed all kinds of stuff. Here's just the stuff I've designed.
Caliper Stand

Empty Chamber Indicator

SG Pulse Mount

Thumb Shelf

Chassis Weights

Dope Card Holder

Mag Pouch (missing bungee in the model)

Magnetic Spotting Scope Adapter

Barricade Stop

I’ve printed a few grips for AR platform

Dubious and suspect at first. But they end up actually working well

AR platform anyways

What material is everyone printing with? I just got some ASA-CF to make some Arca rails. Some will be mlok or flat.

 

[Falconi]

Usually plain ASA, if it broke then i print PC.

Kestrel mount.
Giraud Trimmer Organizer.
Amp Case Insert Adapter.
Picatinny Dope Card mount.

Weight molds for KRG Bravo. Molds are filled with lead shot and epoxy resin. But they are removable versus folks previously just pouring shot and resin into the buttstock. Holders for BoreTech cleaning rod and borescope. Funnel for pouring powder back into the jug from the Chargemaster. Jig for marking brass with sharpie. Barricade stop for KRG Bravo. Mag block. AICS mag loading tool. Battery containers.

While waiting for MDT to release the productized version of Francis Colon's thumb rest, designed/printed one for myself for M-LOK chassis, and for things like the Foundation Samson. Got a couple friends running them, too. Will eventually buy MDT's when they get around to releasing them (to support the guy with the original idea), but until they, they work great. Printed them in PLA and in PETG - haven't ventured into more temp sensitive materials, yet, cause I don't have an enclosure at this point.
