Leshiy 2 - 3D print

[towle]

Designed a Speed Loader for L2, put a lot of work in this (OpenScad 397 code lines) to make it an easy print, my 3D printer is a home made reprap so any printer with a bed size from 150x150 mm should do 

I designed it as simple as possible, you will only need the 3 printed parts, one 4mm x 30 screw with counter sunk head, a shim and a lock nut

The discs is held i position by friction between the printed parts, the lock nut is used to adjust this friction, no balls and springs

Ad glue to the head of the screw, this will make it stick to the adapter part

Put the parts together and tighten the nut and let the glue settle, (edit when dry, loosen the nut a bit and adjust the friction

Turn left middle and upper discs and load pellets

Turn upper disc clock wise to drop the pellets to middle disc

Turn upper disc anti clock wise to lock

The speed loader is fixed by the L2 indexing arm so only one hand needed, turn clockwise to drop the pellets in mag

Load on Sunday, shoot all week

My print settings (home made Frankenprinter called Bigfoot)

2 hours 5 minutes (at 30mm/sec)
plastic weight 30,72g (0.07lb)
layer height: 0.24
outline direction: outside in (this will help getting the holes of correct size)
extrusion width: 0.60
top solid layers: 6
bottom solid layers: 4
outline/perimeter shells: 2
infill: 20%
support: no
heated bed: 62C
extruder (PLA Max): 210C
cooling from layer 3: 60%
internal thin wall type: allow singe extrusion fill

.stl files for cal. .177, .20, .22, .25, .30

Edit: .20 Cal version added

Nice work @towle!!

You’re go to make me buy a 3-D printer

 

[towle]

Thank You Sir! - you don't have to spend much, lots to choose from from way under $200, don't buy anything fancy, its not needed

 

[dan_house]

Are all the parts in ONE stl file?

if you broke that up into seperate files for each peice you could print it on printers with smaller bed (like my Monoprice Delta Mini) no problem

 

[towle]

Yes one stl for easy and fast printing, its a close shave but you should be able to print the file as posted, here's the stl with a circle OD 110mm added

I can move the parts closer for you, no problem, what caliber you going to print?

 

[towle]

I made the mag adapter part and the middle disc at the same height, this way you don't have to worry about excessive heat and extra cooling while printing the 4 indexing arms, you may not need any cooling at all

That's why I prefer the print as a set

 

[dan_house]

ive got four printers, of different sizes.



Tahnx for the offer, but Ive got it covered. I was more worried about some one who doesnt ahve that flexibility.....

 

[darkcharisma]

I dont have a printer. is there anyway i can buy those from ya? I need 3 loaders for 25 cal.

For people like us without a 3d printer, would it be possible for us to buy it from you guys that do? I don't got a need for one lol.

 

[dannya1a]

I have a 3d printer and can print these with no issue I’m sure. Ended 3pro. I have black and grey and my filament of choice for anything with exposure to sunlight is pet-g. They need to offer more colors for pet-g.

 

[towle]

Great, any 3D printer will do, this is a very easy model to print, no sharp corners, no warping, all surfaces and holes chamfered so no elephant foot problems, no finishing work involved, never had a print fail on me

I prefer PLA MAX, a lot stronger than PLA, easy to print, better finish, finer details, do not scratch

Yes sunlight do have an effect on PLA MAX on a longer timeline, but nothing like instantly igniting Vampires, kept in the pocket, no problemo

I don't buy from there, just an example:

is there anyway upoi could break up the STL, into the parts, so more centeral bits could be printed?

Well thought and well designed.

Thank for sharing.

Can't split the STL but render any part, what caliber are you going to print?

towle,

Thank you for sharing! Unfortunately, you got me to go out and buy 3D printer (actually I have been thinking about buying one for awhile - you just pushed me over the edge). Again thank you for sharing and the effort you put into the development of this!

You are welcome! - hope you will enjoy you new hobby, lots of roads to follow, you can go deep and learn about the software, G-codes, the mechanics of printers and CNC or learn to design your own parts - or just have fun printing whats already available at thingiverse and many other sites 

Happy printing!
