FDL-2 Customization Pack (FDL-CP)

thingiverse

Introduction ------------------------ This is a customization pack for the FDL-2/2X/2+. It adds extra length, accepts 19mm OD barrels, and has up to four picatinny rails for accessories. The possibility of interchangeable side plates allows endless customization options. I have released eight side plates so far, but more are on the way, along with many other accessories! If you have an idea for a side plate, use the Blank Plates to easily design it, or drop me a message and I might make it! Why Make a Customization Pack? --------------------------------- The FDL-2 is an awesome blaster. It's versatile, powerful, open source, and much more! But there are areas where it has been lacking, which I've addressed with this pack. First, the looks. To me, the FDL has always looked like a toy. By increasing the barrel length, it instantly looks more balanced. Especially with a stock added on. Next is accessories. The standard FDL-2 to has only one 3.5" rail, limiting what accessories can be used with it. Third is safety. It irks me that the FDL-2 has no optional orange tip. This pack accepts 19mm worker barrels and any 3D printed equivalents. And last but not least, customization. This pack is meant to allow anyone to make their blaster truly unique, with only imagination as a limit! Parts and Assembly ------------------------- First of all, you'll need an FDL-2 of some kind.
