Airsoft BB Field Carriage

prusaprinters

<p>This is a small BB storage to be carried while on the field.</p> <p>The design was inspired by this: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2183772">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2183772</a> which was made by TherminalMirror.</p> <p>It holds around 550 BBs.</p> <p>V2: The body has a nozzle with 7 mm inner diameter. Just enough to fit a single BB through. The V2 cover is designed to fit the V2 body.</p> <p>V3: The V3 body has a nozzle of 13 mm inner diameter to enable more and hopefully speedloader friendly BB output. The V3 cover is designed to fit the V3 body.</p> <p>The bottom cap is designed to fit either version.</p> <p>DO BE AWARE that this is not yet airsoft field tested and adjust print settings to your needs and experience!</p> <p>Please feel free to test it in the field as feedback is much desired.</p> <p>If the design itself needs to be adjusted, feel free to tell me your findings and your suggested adjustments and I will happily update the design.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Wanhao</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>Doesn't Matter</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Doesn't Matter</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.15</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>I printed mine at .15 mm layer height, 0.8mm top, bottom and side walls and 20% infill.</p> <p>The bottom cap is a screw-in fit and the top cover is a friction fit, so adjust your settings to your printers tolerances and scale parts to have more or less friction between them.</p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p>I just recently got into airsoft and wanted to have some convenient way to carry some BBs inside my pocket. I decided to look around Thingiverse and found this design by TherminalMirror: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2183772">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2183772</a></p> <p>I printed it, looked at the print and tested it. It was well designed and fulfilled it's purpose, but I had some gripes with it.</p> <p>My biggest problem with it was that there was no easy and quick way to fill it from, for example, a bag of BBs without using a funnel.</p> <p>In addition the nozzle had a flying 90° angle and my printer didn't handle it well, which then hindered the BBs from coming out smoothly.</p> <p>My last but quite minor gripe was that the shape of it wasn't rounded or 'flowing' which is not really something to critique but was something that stuck out to me.</p> <p>But there weren't just negatives here!</p> <p>I really liked the litte cut-out in the side to see how full the storage was and I loved how it felt when held because of it's small size and good storage capability.</p> </p></p></p> Category: Sport & Outdoors
