Bottle Cap Gun Remix

thingiverse

I made a few tweaks to 3Deddy's Bottle Opener and Cap Gun! I had persistent issues with getting a knot in the rubber bands. It might not be a big deal for most people, but I just couldn't get it to work right, so I removed the top screw and moved it to the front where the rubber band attaches. This allows you to simply fold the rubber band around the screw. I used the "pusher" modded by Matamor77 so the other ends of the rubber band attach around the hook part (see pic for an example). No cutting or knots needed! A few people have mentioned that I should post the size of the rubber bands, and I use size 31 bands. Double them over and they work perfectly. Since I removed the top screw/sight, I made a new sight that can be printed separately so both the front sight and pull handle can be the same color. I remade the pull handle so both resemble Glock sights. The handles are now the same width as the barrel, making it print easier and eliminating the need for supports. I think it looks better when finished too. I used the new version where the trigger is secured and pivots on a screw, and I evened out the spacing in the 3 handle screws (pics are from a previous version where the spacing was still off a tad). Here's what I used: (3) M3x20 for the handle (1) M3x25 for the front rubber band part (2) M3x6 for under the barrel (1) M3x18 for the pusher/slide part One last tip: Use paraffin wax in the grooves of the top slide and also in the cap barrel. It makes the movement silky smooth!
