Remixed Hellboy revolver (Good Samaritan)

thingiverse

I remixed this from Danonator's Hellboy Prop and added in ammo from and grip and medallion. I altered the files to make it more authentic: the Frame and back-strap are now one piece, and I created a round recess where the back-strap meets the frame to glue a spring to "eject" the cylinder when released. I used ABS slurry as glue but epoxy works well too. I remixed the barrel pivot to look like a screw, made the rivets on the barrel look like screws, and gave space for trigger travel in the frame so a spring can be mounted to give trigger pull. I remixed the Trigun barrel into the barrel to give rifling. The Frame was adjusted to give a place to mount the screw for the cylinder eject. The holes were bored out to allow plastic cartridges to be inserted and removed. I used springs from Harbor Freight for the release which work great when you depress the release, the cylinder pops open. This prop is a little more involved than "print and play", but it works GREAT! Please note that this is a prop, it will never fire real ammunition of any kind. To assemble, print one of all files, glue the back-strap to the frame using ABS slurry or epoxy, attach the cylinder release to the frame with a screw, place a small spring underneath the cylinder release, insert another medium spring into the recess on top of the frame, and use ABS slurry or epoxy to glue. Let it set overnight before using. Insert a finishing nail in the hole in the rear of the back-strap so that the cylinder release can grab it. Adjust how far the nail sticks out of the back-strap so that it releases when you depress the cylinder release. Assemble everything and follow the instructions. When you want to load or unload, press the cylinder release and a spring glued into the frame will "eject" the cylinder forward. To close the revolver, press the release, close the frame, then release the cylinder release so that it grabs the nail in the back-strap.
