MHSS - Modular Handgun Storage System

prusaprinters

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER, READ THIS BEFORE MOVING ON!!!YOU must take all the precautions needed to print this rack in the sturdiest possible way, in order to prevent YOUR printed parts to fail and break after the weight of guns and ammos, especially if stored or transported when loaded. This relates to materials (filament, but also required hardware) and print settings (number of perimeters, infill %, ecc.) YOU will choose for YOUR project. Remember, if you dare to proceed it's YOUR responsibility for any accident to things, animals or people that might be caused by the failure of printed or assembled parts. ------------------------------------------That said, you! Hey you!! I know you. You are that guy having his handguns all around his gun safe. What? You tell me you don't really know how to store them safely without having them take up a lot of space you could be using for rifles, ammos and scopes? Well, don't worry anymore for this mess… I got you covered!Introducing to you the all new printable…In the file area you will find all the components you need to print yourself a rack with the proper number of slots you need for your pistols! And don't need to worry about scratches, it's printed in plastic! Also, as you may see, the final assembly comes with two useful handles to easily move all the firearms stored at once.Let me tell you more about it…If your printer's heatbed is not big enough to print side and center plates this size, please consider to scale eveything down accordingly.Take in consideration this design was modeled after average semiauto pistols with standard or compact frames sizes, being the most common handguns of our days, so it might not be the best solution around if you got a lot of huge revolvers kinda like Smith & Wesson X-frame size!Also consider that the diameter of pass-through holes is 8mm, because this is a quite common measure (i.e. M8 threads) for sturdy steel rods to be found here in Europe. I don't know if these are common oversea, but you could always drill yourself the holes wider. Also, if I get lot of requests in the comments, I could consider uploading other files with american-sized holes (i.e. 0.5 in) if you tell me which is a common standard in your country.But, what would you need to make one of these rack yourself? Let's make a… The rack can be assembled in 4 easy steps. And don't forget…How I Designed ThisOnShapeI 3D modeled the components for this project using OnShape
