prusaprinters

<p>Edit 8/1/22: New reworked design with fewer parts. &nbsp;New channel internally, which feeds BBs more reliably. &nbsp;New lips which help prevent double feeding. New follower design for more reliable clip ejection and easier loading. Decorative back design added.</p><p>Edit 3/27: Updates made to dimensions and instructions.</p><p>Spare 6mm airsoft clips are hard to find for the Marushin M1 Garand collectors airsoft gun, and expensive! Now you can print as many as you need! &nbsp;These plastic clips are significantly cheaper, can be sacrificed if lost in the field, and offer improved dimensions for better feeding/ejecting in the airsoft gun. &nbsp;Works only for the Marushin M1 Garand airsoft gas blowback rifle with 6mm BBs only.</p><p>The clip “wings” are tuned to fit better in the chamber without interfering with the striker rods. &nbsp;The original metal clips sometimes jerk against the valve knocker responsible for BB propulsion. &nbsp;The tuned dimensions of this clip makes it significantly easier to insert, sit securely, and eject with less contact with surrounding hardware. &nbsp;</p><p>This is very easy to print, with no supports necessary. &nbsp;Print all 4 parts with the flat side down. &nbsp;PETG offers good durability/flexibility to resist breaking when the clips fall on the ground. &nbsp;PLA works as well, but is brittle and the wings often break on impact with the ground. &nbsp;You may find a .25 nozzle will offer better print quality, but this print should work fine with a 0.4 nozzle on a MK3s+ with default settings.</p><p>Assemble with 4 M2x6 or M2x8 countersunk screws and a spring approximately 45mm long, &lt;6mm in diameter. &nbsp;I found the best so far are sections of spare Hi-Capa magazine follower springs, available as aftermarket upgrades from brands such as Guarder. &nbsp;Their dimensions and spring rate is perfect for this application, and are widely available as spares from airsoft retailers. &nbsp;Cut about 8 or 9 rungs or so, enough to apply pressure on the follower at the topmost empty position, which will give enough force to trip the Garand ejection feature. &nbsp;Midcap and round springs may not work, due to tolerances and spring rates. &nbsp;Simply insert the follower and spring into the main body, close up with the front housing on top, and screw together. &nbsp;Check the follower moves smoothly in the channel.</p>
