Star Wars Stormtrooper E-11 Blastech Blaster Rifle - Part 3 Fix

thingiverse

After multiple failed print attempts of Part 3 from this link - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1308002, I decided to take matters into my own hands and attempt to fix the model's problems myself. One major issue I encountered was the lack of permanent supports on the side pylon pieces. To address this, I added some attachments to the center barrel, which may slightly increase print time but are discreetly hidden from view and greatly simplify assembly by allowing for easier alignment and mating of parts. Please note that I'm not a 3D printing expert and don't claim to know every trick for creating an optimized model. My goal was simply to get it into a printable state while cleaning up the design. The model is now set up to print vertically with the center hole in the barrel on top of the z-axis. I've included the .blend file if you'd like to modify or adjust it further.
