Mini Gun Barrel Clips for 3/4" .75in PVC Pipe

<p>A friend of mine is in the Mandolorian Mercs Costume Club and uses a custom built mini gun as a prop for his character. He made it out of PVC pipe held together by rings of MDF that were less than perfectly cut so it looked kind of wonky. He asked me to 3D print a set of barrel clamps so that everything would line up perfectly.</p> <p>I used images of real-life machine guns as a guide and just kind of eye-balled it from there. I'm happy with the final result, in any case.</p> <p>The base has a hole for a 3/8-16 x 7/16 T-nut that threads onto the drill motor in his gun prop. This could be swapped out for a captured nut or threaded rod in a remix but I will leave that up you and your machine-gunning needs.</p> <p>The barrel rings are sized for 3/4" PVC pipe and the center hole is sized for 1.5" PVC pipe should you feel the need to add any extra support. I cut my pipe barrels to 28" long. Please do be aware that pipe OD can vary slightly from batch-to-batch and manufacturer-to-manufacturer so I recommend you print one of the small parts first to test your material and scale the rest of your prints accordingly.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>i3 MK2.5</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.35</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>15%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Zyltech PETG Red</p> </p></p></p> Category: Costume
