If someone could print me a 250-25x USBR target, that would be great!

I know people 3D print single shot adapters, bolt protectors and bolt handles.

 

I have a friend that has a 3d printer and made me a magazine box for my CZ457.
He asked if I wanted anything else made, he enjoys printing stuff and won't take my money. It's nice to have good friends.
What other 3d printed accessories do you find useful?

I don't know allot about 3D printing but know allot of the 3D items look like they were whittled with a butter knife. ( Read: Butt Ugly!) Your case looks like nice with with a good finish though.
That said, I do have a few useful (and a few not so useful) 3D printed items for my rifles. Most notably I have a good assortment of chamber blocking safety flags. The single shot adaptors for CZ's(by our own @PWNolan ) are useful for bench shooing too. I do have a few other items that see minimal use though. Namely a CZ 457 Bore guide, bolt protector, and single shot loading pen.

Often that's because the maker either doesn't know how to model or uses something that's limited like TinkerCAD. Or their slicer profiles and/or machines aren't dialed very well.

I've had a few requests to print some of these CZ things from Thingiverse and usually they don't work as well as I'd like them to. If there's something I need I much prefer to model it myself. That way I can make it look and function how I want it.

IMO bore guides should be made of Delrin or aluminum but sometimes they're not available for a particular rifle. Printing one is a good option as long as it fits the action and cleaning rod properly. 3D printed items aren't necessarily leak proof either. So that's something to consider when modeling, slicing the model, and printing. You don't want solvent leaking into the trigger group. I have a really nice M-Werks bore guide for my 10X X3L but I wanted one that stops at the loading ramp like the PQP one does for my 2500X. So I made my own with two different rod inserts that fit both of my cleaning rods like a glove. It stops about an 1 3/4" from the chamber yet the rod lines up beautifully

BTW, the rifle's sitting in a 3D printed cleaning cradle

I also wanted rod guide inserts for my PQP bore guide to fit the rod a little more closely. I made a couple for my Pro Shot rod and my PQP cleaning rod. I printed them two different colors. So I know which rods they work with

A couple guys asked me to make the bolt block things for Anschutz and CZ. As a RSO I'm not real big on them but I went ahead and modified the single shot adapers. They work well but I prefer people use chamber flags so there's no chance of leaving a round in the chamber. I see people calling them ECIs (Empty Chamber Indicator) which is wrong since a round can still be in the chamber

I needed a case to put my ATS tuner in. It fits like a glove

A RFC member and popular gunsmith needed a couple trigger guards for light weight builds...

I can go on and on but the forum software says I've overstayed my welcome lol. I've posted most of what I've made in the BR chat thread and a couple other threads. You can see some other things I make in the classifieds section

 

@ barrelhorses
I'm Curious, what would you use a 3d target for?

 

That was supposed to be funny because I'll never be able to shoot one like that myself.

 

I’m late to the 457 world and haven’t been able to find magazines. I did find the file for a 10 rounder, so I printed several of them. I used red for the followers and the long piece is a pseudo-jig for winding the springs out of music wire. I only load 5 rounds at a time and for about $.50 per magazine and maybe 10 minutes to wind the spring I’m not complaining. So far they all work flawlessly.

 

That is cool!

 

Where did you find the file?

Thanks

 

This is the I used, had to find it. I glue the floor plate to the body, having a printer means these are basically consumables for me if they break. I used .6 mm wire from Amazon. CZ452/453/455 10 shot magazine by Blackmagic12

 

Am I the only one that wants to bring blue and orange mags?

 

Extended mag release for the MDT Gen 1 Premier. The 4Gun Guy printed one that works. See at 7:50 in video.

 

I print receivers, stocks, and magazines.

 

There's a guy in France who 3D prints stuff for CZs that I've bought a few things from, such as an ECI and a bore guide. Good stuff after more than a year and so far no issues with it.

 

It’s definitely about the machine, design and even quality of material used to print. With the evolution of plastics happening and their ever increasing strength and thermal tolerance, the 3D printing movement is really growing. More files become available (for those who lack design skills), groups have formed to test, report and upgrade designs to the point where parts are becoming very useful. Just looking at the 10-22 and its versatility and easy to assemble nature is a huge platform for creators to design things that don’t exist in the market (some may say they shouldn’t exist), it’s almost like an emerging art form in firearms development. Always thought Han Solo’s blaster was cool, great you can hang one on your wall and it fires a .22 now! I think it’s fun and gives me something to do on the cheap, takes time, forces me to problem solve and in the end I have a new firearm. If I don’t like it, I disassemble, start new, or sell the parts kit! Here’s a mag I recently printed for my Sig 522, a Glock 17 mag I printed like 5 years ago, and then a S&W MP9. I’m not convinced yet on the longevity of 9mm with a plastic frame. They do function though.

Wow, some amazing work in the previous posts.

My simple entry was just a small plug made to fill the ugly holes left behind when removing the import-mandated safety on the TT-33 type pistols. In this case, on my Yugo M57, the frame mounted safety would slightly engage during firing causing failures to fire.

I removed the safety and asked my son to print me some plugs. They fit perfectly and at the next range session I had no failures to fire due to the safety's interference. IMO they're way less noticeable than two ugly holes in the frame. 😀
