Coke Can Spy Gun Frame

thingiverse

I designed this framework to enhance my build of the "Coke Can Gun," created by 'The Q.' You can watch his video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FeMYcCk_t8. Notice the dovetail pieces; I made these separate objects because I was worried about the overhang caused by the slotted section on the rails. Printing with overhang wasn't a problem, but I've left the dovetail in place as an option. I haven't tested them, but there is 1 mm clearance, so they should work. Alternatively, you can print the 3 objects together; just position the rails onto the platform piece before printing to connect them during the printout. The little thru-hole clips didn't work for me; I've never had luck printing small cylindrical parts. For my build, I used dowels to assemble the frame. I left the clips in the design for anyone interested in trying. One more thing: The little blocks on the platform are there to help hold the syringe in place. The video shows the syringe glued to the platform, but that doesn't work very well. The blocks I added are separate objects in the model, so you can position them for your needs or remove them if you prefer.
