Airsoft Trigger retainer v2 & v3 gearbox - W.I.P

thingiverse

I'm telling you, one of the most infuriating pieces of metal I've encountered is the AEG trigger assembly. You leave it in place, so you don't have to deal with it on reassembly, carefully avoiding dislodging it during the rebuild...only to have the whole thing fall out when you least expect it....and then you're left trying to figure out how to get the spring back in without losing your mind. While I couldn't make it easier to keep everything in one place during the last stages of assembly, I can try and help hold it in place while you work. This is for the V3 box - I haven't touched my V2 box recently. V3 is a real pain in the neck as there's no easy way to lock the trigger. V2 has a simpler trigger setup meaning I can design a quick clip when I have one on the bench. This is still a work in progress - if it works, let me know - if it doesn't work...let me know. I've tried to make printing it as easy as possible - print it with the two feet facing upwards with fine supports for the cutout. To use it, hold the trigger assembly in place while fitting the clip to the top two pins of the trigger and cam - the clip sits at an angle so the trigger can be actuated if required, using the angled foot as a rough guide to positioning.
