New 3D printer - Trying out some designs

[Diamondback]

I always thought a cool project would be to print AR15 receiver covers. It would be used in transporting or storage. Basically, separate the lower from the upper then put cover lids for both receivers to prevent dust getting in the innards. Lower would be secured by the takedown and pivot pin and the top by corresponding holes. Then you could store the gun in a smaller footprint. For a pistol or SBR, it should fit in a backpack.

Used to be a guy on Etsy who did exactly that, moved to Amazon after Etsy went MIlitant Hoplophobe. His latest version incorporates some suggestions I made... (The original required a cocked hammer, I suggested adding a hammer-down pocket.)

@Gbirk Might have something for ya... Ever seen a Midwest Industries 10/22 handguard? Looking for something similar but length for a 6" barrel--if you've seen my "Ruger Briefcase" pics it's everything from the blue-tape back to the chamber on that.

Or, may need to ask you about some 3d-printed miniature ships...

@Gbirk next time you are at Tigard Pawn, maybe you could take a look at the H5000 rifle they have on the rack chambered in 30-06. It is missing the magazine and they are just about impossible to find and very expensive.

The rifle is pretty much unsellable with out a magazine, as you would have to insert a cartridge into the chamber to load it and it might not eject well either.

I was thinking a bob sled type block would make it work for single loading a round on to the block and allow it to eject fired cases.

Something like this might be a good 3d printing candidate.

Original H5000 mags look similar to this design.

Next gun related print:
Rugged Oculus Baffle alignment tool.

Reassembling the Oculus for best suppression requires aligning the baffles in the tube. This tool makes it much easier than the twist and hope method described in the manual.

I can't find the Ruger Breifcase pictures. Do you have a link?

Did an end cap removal tool as well.

Simple reaction rod storage. Just to keep them from getting beat up and rolling around.
