Firefly Mal Pistol

thingiverse

This prop is engineered to be printed in ABS and linked together using acetone for a secure attachment. The prop comprises a total of 8 printed pieces (the files included represent one half of the prop, so two sets will need to be printed and assembled side by side) and two ~5mm diameter rods of any material you prefer (I used wood because it was able to be trimmed to length easily, and was still much stronger than a 3D printed rod, so the prop can go into a holster or conventions, display, etc., without breaking). File Directions: 01-02 Mal Rod End – the end caps that go on rods. No supports needed if printed flat. This file does not need to be mirrored, simply print two copies. 03-04 Mal Half Barrel – this is half of the barrel and front sight. If your printer does half-circular shaped voids well without supports, you can print without; if you’re unsure, I recommend using supports. This piece needs to be printed twice, once normally and once mirrored. 05a-06a Mal Half Main – this is the main portion of the prop. It requires minimal supports, but they are needed. This must also be printed once normally and once mirrored. This is the version of the main body I have printed and used; another version labeled 05b-06b Mal Half Main Flared Grip has a grip that has been flared out at the bottom, and is closer to the original grip than the non-flared one. I have not printed or used this file, but I include it here in case others want to. 07-08 Mal Half Rear Sight – these are the rear sights that are fixed to the back of the prop. They will need supports. One printed normally, and the other mirrored.
