magfed for all Project

thingiverse

I have an intriguing concept in mind. I've accumulated quite some experience with paintball parts over time. What if it were all combined into one thing - an open Marker project that is "fully" 3D printed based on some basic Tippmann parts to start out with? This has the option to use T15 mags, Tipx, TMC, helix, and a Lokbot option. It can also utilize Tippmann stocks and shrouds from the T98, A5 X7's, and is open to using some custom 3D designed ones as well. Does that sound cool? Keep in mind you still need to consider two or three rolls of 3D filament to make one at least if you use a lot of 3D printed parts like the shroud and buttstock. So, it's not exactly a free maker... but it does open it up for anyone to play magfed, or at least make one from basic Tippmann parts, and customize it with STEP files. What do you think? This would be a big project! With a lot of big parts to be printed and prototyped. So some donations for this project would be more than welcome otherwise it won't happen anytime soon. But I'm more than confident enough that I can pull it off. If something like the FGC-9 or WTF-9 can be made that shoots 9mm rounds, then making a paintball maker shouldn't be that hard. Some people might say, why make this thing and ask nothing for it? You should put it up for sale. Well, I think there's no market for that... it would take quite some time and material to print, and can that compete with a mass-produced one in price realistically? I don't really see people paying for that. The idea is that anyone could make it even at places where regular magfed might seem too real for their laws. So I do think about making one in a more Nerf-like design or at least less "real" than you could play with out worrying about bull crap laws preventing you from playing the game of magfed. Besides, this opens up a whole new world for customization and personalization! For donation and contact information, download the files.
