AR15 - Repaired, Modified, and Split

thingiverse

The original model is a stunning work of art, but unfortunately, it has several flaws. Without receiving any feedback from the designer, I took it upon myself to restore and modify the model to suit my preferences. **Important Note:** Before printing this, please be aware that the model is slightly smaller than an actual AR-15. I'm not sure by how much, but if you need precise dimensions, you may need to scale it up accordingly. If anyone knows the exact difference, please let me know so I can update this information. **Repairs and Modifications Made:** I fixed numerous non-manifold errors throughout the STL files. I renamed the STLs to accurately reflect their nomenclature. I removed the handle from the bottom of the rail. I eliminated the protrusion from the bottom of the magazine. I merged the two stock parts into a single piece. I thinned the trigger for a better fit. I increased the thickness of the lower trigger guard slightly. I resized the inner hole of the rail to ensure a snug fit around the barrel. I divided the barrel and body into multiple pieces, allowing it to be printed on 200mm printers. I included pins for precise alignment of components. --- You'll notice that I've included the original STL file for the scope, despite not printing it. Unfortunately, I'm unsure how it was originally intended to be mounted. Since the designer didn't respond and no files were provided to facilitate mounting, I'm stuck in the dark. However, an [I Made One] of the original model does include the scope, so maybe there's something I'm missing. If someone can enlighten me on what that is, I'll be happy to update this as well.
