High Quality Team Fortress 2 (TF2) Stock Shotgun

Due to numerous requests, I'm excited to share the files for my high-quality TF2 shotgun design, perfect for printing! To gain insight into the process and see answers to some common questions, check out the Reddit thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/c8eox7/i_3d_printed_and_painted_the_stock_shotgun/ To witness the creation of this prop, including more finished photos, visit my Imgur album here: https://imgur.com/a/2649tgN The shotgun's barrel and tube are crafted from 1" and 3/4" PVC pipe, measuring 13 1/8" and 11 1/4" respectively. Some essential notes on printing: I designed the model in inches, while most 3D printing slicers operate in metric units. To resolve this issue, consider these two options: 1. Utilize the Barbarian plugin to convert from imperial to metric (compatible with Cura). 2. Scale every model up by 25.4 times, effectively converting inches to millimeters (works across all slicers). The final two images showcase adapters for attaching the PVC pipes to the gun's body, which I secured using epoxy. To achieve a high-quality surface finish, I printed everything at 0.12mm resolution and then applied filler primer and sandpaper to smooth out the texture, resulting in the finished look you see in the first image. Feel free to ask any questions!
