MP40 - Functional Assembly

thingiverse

Here is a functional printable assembly of the iconic MP40 sub-machine gun. As technical drawings for individual parts don't exist, it was created using reference dimensions scaled to suit the real weapon's parts, each modified for printability and functionality in the assembled version. Only full assembly STL files have been posted so far because printing out the assembly myself first is crucial before releasing all files, ensuring no issues will prevent anyone from successfully assembling their own prints. Cocking and firing a printed replica require accurately sizing springs for recoil and trigger mechanisms. To this end, focus has been directed towards getting these essential details right to replicate the full MP40 experience.

The complete set of parts now includes an updated version; however, please be aware that only the most recent file will print correctly. The remaining missing part is the stock as additional printing work is required to make it functional in assembly. I have uploaded STL files and encourage users to test-print the entire assembly, offering any necessary feedback so all print variations run smoothly together as planned.
