    Huben Huben GK1 .22: A Beginner's Journey to a DIY Mini Carbine

    Anyways: my Bambu Labs A1: To the right is the AMS lite system. This is an automatic multi color/filament system. Basically, you can load up to 4 different filaments, label them in the Slicer program, and voila, it can automatically switch in different filament colors, so you can “paint”...

    Custom Bottle Clamp, continued This was by far the most ambitious 3d printing project I’ve done this far. Take a look at the list of small prototype shapes I went thru before finalizing: After all the tweaking, got a solid final design. And then it was off to my printer. But you may have...

    Custom Bottle Clamp, continued And here were my finalized 3d designs. They look a lot more advanced than the silhouettes I designed above, but the conversion to full pieces was pretty easy when done in steps: Push the silhouettes to their final length, 45mm Added a front lip to the clamp...

    Huben Huben GK1 .22: A Beginner's Journey to a DIY Mini Carbine

    @Savagefox, your designs are soooo much more advanced than mine, a thing to behold. For now, I'm just looking to add-on to my pistol, whereas yours are more transformative. At some point, I might look into trying them out.

    Huben Huben GK1 .22: A Beginner's Journey to a DIY Mini Carbine

    Continuing with my personal preference in design--I decided I wanted to make this a 3 part clamp. I kind of like this design because the clamp can be disassembled--that way you do not have to slide it on. So I broke the outline into a left clamp, a right clamp, and a center block. I’ve...

    Custom Bottle Clamp This was perfectly functional…but I decided to try my hand at designing my own bottle clamp. Mostly for the fun of it. But also because I wanted to add side rails to the clamp. Here was my design process. The bottle is 32mm in diameter. I based the diameter for my clamp...

    Next step: Bottle clamp I like a foregrip on my mini-carbine--so that’s means a picatinny bottle clamp. On the now departed “Taming the bark” thread, someone posted this .stl for a bottle clamp. I went ahead and printed it, and have been using it for a while: I did find that it wouldn’t...

    That looks so good, matching carbon fiber and all!

    Picatinny Top Rail Sorry on the recent lack of posts, been doing a lot of travel in the last few months. As I have mentioned previously, I prefer a scope. For those who like a red dot site, the very popular mount seems to be great. But I prefer some magnification--in which case the dovetail...

    Huben Huben GK1 .22: A Beginner's Journey to a DIY Mini Carbine

    Fortunately, the stock portion is designed to be removed (held on by a single screw), so it was as simple as designing yet another mounting block that mimics the 5ku version. And Frankenstein my shoulder interface and stock, to the folding/pic mount action of the 5ku. And this is how I...

    DIY Stock from a ski pole, Mark 3! I’m going to jump ahead about a month. I was and still am 100% satisfied with the function of my Mark 2 version. But…to my surprise, I decided I liked the fold-ability of the relatively inexpensive 5KU stock I purchased from evike. At first, I thought...

    Huben Huben GK1 .22: A Beginner's Journey to a DIY Mini Carbine

    DIY Stock from a ski pole, Mark 2 My first version as pictured above had just a tiny bit of wiggle at the pic rail attachment. So I revisited the clamping method. After examining various off-the-shelf clamps of all sorts, I realized that my approach was wrong. The point of the clamping...

    Huben Huben GK1 .22: A Beginner's Journey to a DIY Mini Carbine

    Hi all! Back after some traveling. DIY Ski Pole Stock, Mark 1 Next I designed the shoulder interface portion: This was actually the most complex thing I had designed thus far. I went for a J shape, which is channeled to accept some rubber gasket I had laying around the shop. Then there...

    Converting a Ski Pole to a Stock! I knew I was going to cut the sticks at the portion where it would be a uniform diameter, altho the black and white portions obviously have different diameters. I designed the mounting block in several pieces. The first was a piece to attach to the pole...

    No I agree, that is a very fair price. I love the robust after market for this pistol. On the other hand, certainly one must notice that I have made my own unit. Cost me about 1 hour in design and prototype time, maybe a dime in materials, $10 in screws. Also, I am making my stock from a...

    Huben Huben GK1 .22: A Beginner's Journey to a DIY Mini Carbine

    Lots of awesome products out there. @Airtillery, send me some measurements and I'll print you a shim if you'd like. Just to make sure my block worked with off-the-shelf parts, I picked up a 5KU folding stock from evike, and mounted it: Works great! Solid in all directions. BTW, it’s a...

    Huben Huben GK1 .22: A Beginner's Journey to a DIY Mini Carbine

    I'm not going to lie, that system @Squirrel hunter is pretty BOMB! But also kindof pricey. Also, definitely love the look and feel of the stock grip. Anyway, @TiPascal for sure, I would love to add a mounting point, but I am trying to keep this pistol completely stock unmodified...

    Finally, the Receiver Block! Hot off the printer (PLA+, filament temp of 210c, bed temp 65c, 100% infill, printed vertically with support structures, print time ~ 3 hours). Mounted up: Side view: Angled sideview, where you can see how the standoff and screws all go...
