Medigun cosplay prop

thingiverse

Human: This was meant as an entry in to a 3d printing cosplay design contest, but I missed the deadline for a bit. I still wanted to submit the files so everybody can use them and hopefully have their own medigun prop too. I learned a lot through doing this, and I tried my hardest to minimize support material. Print Settings Printer Brand: Prusa Printer: Prusa Steel Supports: Yes Resolution: .2mm to .3mm Infill: 15% Rectilinear with 3 perimeters Notes: Print the following amount of each part with these layer heights as a general guideline: 1x Rear Fitting Pt1 (.2mm) 1x Rear Fitting Pt2 (.2mm) 1x Rear Fitting Pt3 (.2mm) 1x Main body (.25mm) 1x Main body pt2 (.25mm with a brim or raft to prevent warping) 2x Main body buildout (.1mm) 4x Main body detail (.1mm with a brim or raft) 2x Large handle hinge (.2mm) 1x Large handle (.2mm) 1x Hand grip (.2mm) 1x Medigun tube Pt1 (.2mm) 1x Medigun tube Pt2 (.2mm orient so the flat side is facing up and enable supports) 1x Medigun tube Pt3 (.25mm) 1x Medigun tube Pt4 (.25 orient so the step up is facing the bed, enable supports) 1x Medigun tube Pt5 (.25 orient so the large opening is facing the bed, enable supports) 1x Medigun tube face plate (.1mm or .05mm if the machine is well tuned.) 4x Nuts (.2mm brim enabled) 2x washers (.1mm nylon or PETG works great if you have it.) Post-Printing There will be a visual assembly guide soon, but for now there's a set of written instructions. To build and assemble this prop, you'll need the following materials: * 3D printed parts (listed above) * Threaded rod * Nuts * Bolts * Washers * Paste wax * Calipers Instructions: 1. Gather all the necessary materials and prepare your workspace. 2. Print out the 3D parts according to the settings listed above. 3. Assemble the large handle by gluing a round 1/4 by 1'' piece into the handle hinge, then glue that to the large handle. 4. Attach the Medigun tube Pt1 to the main body pt2 using the threaded rod and nuts to clamp and align. 5. Place on the main body details slowly and with care, making sure they're evenly spaced. 6. Attach the large handle to the main body assembly by placing washers between them, then threading in the 1/2'' hex bolts. 7. Glue in the cut pieces of 5/16'' threaded rod into the holes on the main body pt2, then glue on the 3D printed nuts. 8. Assemble the Medigun tube by gluing Medigun Pt2 and Pt3 together, using the threaded rod and nuts to position them nicely. 9. Glue Medigun Pt4 to Pt3, making sure it's a snug fit. 10. Add magnets to the corresponding holes on Medigun Pt5 and the Medigun tube faceplate. Final Assembly: If you've printed the parts in the correct colors, you're ready to assemble. If not, use 120 grit sandpaper to work your way up to 320 or 400 until you have a surface quality you're happy with. Then prime with filler autobody paint and add your chosen colors. How I Designed This I used Fusion 360 to design this, making it to scale and accurate by using an attached canvas on one plane and tracing along it. I'm new to the software, so I used only sketches to make this, leaving things a bit messy. Learning to use components should be on everybody's list of things to do!
