SilencerCo Maxim 9 (Long and Short Configuration)

pinshape

SilencerCo is a pioneer in firearm suppressors founded in 2008. The Maxim 9 represents one of the most groundbreaking advancements in both pistol and suppressor technology, being the world's first integrally suppressed 9mm handgun. It is holsterable and hearing safe with all types of 9mm ammunition. The Maxim 9 appears in Gun Club VR by Nextgen Reality Pty. Ltd. and only in one movie to date: 6 Underground (2019) according to the Internet Movie Firearms Database website. This model is a non-working prop for display or cosplay purposes, featuring no moving parts or insignia. It is not an exact replica, but it's designed to be as accurate as possible with a morse code grip that other models miss. I'm confident that this is the most detailed printable version of the Maxim 9 available and it feels amazing in the hand. A more detailed model of the latest SilencerCo development, the Maxim 9 Non-NFA, can be found here: https://pinshape.com/items/63424-3d-printed-silencerco-maxim-9-non-nfa. The Maxim 9 has a long and short configuration. This model is not modular but comes with printable parts to decide between long and short configurations at the build stage (see the exploded image). I split the model into printable parts along natural seams so that it can 'click' together without filling, repairs or special post-processing. All parts are orientated for the best print. Unfortunately some parts will need supports to print successfully in these orientations. Some tips for printing and building follow: Print all my models with a 0.4mm nozzle and 4x shells (1.6mm) for strength and to provide a thick enough surface for sanding. Print all parts at 0.12mm layer height to maintain details and fitting tolerances. Some parts will need supports. Use your judgement on where these need to be, but note that the frame prints upside down and will need supports for the main part, but that morse code grip texture will print perfectly without supports. Personally, I prefer to use a raft when printing large or delicate parts. Repeatable parts are provided once and their file reference will indicate the number of prints required e.g. 4-07 Pin [1-8].stl needs to be printed eight times. All parts should be obvious in the way they fit together as there's only one way, that is with the exception of the magazine; make sure you get it the right way around. Sand all parts and check the fit before gluing together. Think carefully about the order you're building the model in and if parts need to remain unglued to help with painting and finishing. I recommend Super Glue or any other Cyanoacrylate (CA) based equivalent. One with a 10sec or less setting time is especially useful. Registration pins (used for silencer parts) are sized correctly, however, from experience of other models I found that my printer's bridging affected tolerances, which meant that pins were too long. If you find that parts don't fit together properly, an effective method is to fix one end of the pin and then snip it shorter to suit the second part - sharp wire cutters are ideal. Disclaimer: The model .STL parts and these instructions are provided as is. This is a fan-created prop not affiliated with SilencerCo in any way. The model has no moving parts. It is designed for display purposes. It can be used for cosplay if suitable precautions are taken such as fitting an orange safety cap to the barrel (model provided). I do not endorse the use of this model as a representation of, or conversion into, a working firearm. Please observe all local legislation regarding replica (or lookalike) firearms, especially when in public spaces. Remember, a law enforcement officer will not distinguish this from a real weapon and I cannot be held accountable for anything that happens to you!
