Nikki's P90 build is officially finished!!! I even whipped up the little plaque on the Elegoo Neptune 2D in black and silver dual extruded. THAT machine is a lot of fun! Now of course since she claimed that one for herself, I get to make a Triple Rail version for myself. But I plan on doing a few […]

Getting closer to the end with the P90. I have 2 coats of black, unfortunately we grabbed gloss at the store so I'm going to have to hit it with a matte sealer too. There still will be a bit of a shine but not too terribly bad. Of course Nikki claimed it for herself. I made her an SG-1 Logo plaque […]

Just needs a couple of touchups where I have fingerprints from gluing myself to the model while attaching the cab and chassis. I had quite a bit of fun printing, painting and assembling her. https://gallery.designcreations.us/thumbnails.php?album=28

We're nearing the finish line! Just have to finish printing the sights then decide if we are going to print a magazine or get an airsoft one with the translucent body and dummy rounds. Of course, why do a P90 if you aren't going to do a Five-seveN to compliment it.

Started on the P90. All together both body parts took about 48 hours to print. I have the upper receiver printing now. Going for the Triple Rail version. I think after this I'll do a Walther PPK, WW2 Luger and MP40. Get the Classic German collection going. ;-)

So the first dual extrusion print is done! Yup it's a bit of a mess. I had my retraction settings set WAY too low. Like .8 or something when it should be around 7 or 10! But all in all, not a bad first print. Yeah I picked up an Elegoo Neptune 2D. It was crazy cheap for a dual extrusion printer and […]

A first coat for the camo. I'll let it dry and see if I need to add some colors or if it'll work as is. I watched this video to get the technique to paint the ACR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp_XzTnBfR0 The barrel and suppressor will remain black. Unfortunately there seems to be a […]

WoooHooo, we've got a working bolt assembly!!! The end is near!!!!
By Sonja
We are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and I don't think it's a train!! Finishing printing some internals for the trigger assembly, a few body pins, firing pin, bolt and the magazine and we will be ready to paint. So what do ya think, should I pop an M203 on this bad girl? Go all […]

Painted and mounted. Just gotta let the last coat of matte clear coat dry and she's all ready! This was a tricky one. A lot of the components were modeled so there were a BUNCH of little pieces. I had to redesign the slide spring and follower though. The original was just too flimsy and weak. It […]

Cruising right along with the ACR. The silver PLA kinda gives it that Machined Aluminum look.

Finally got it all printed save a couple of internal parts for the slide. I ended up reprinting the Frame and Slide. I was just not happy with the initial quality and the way the trades engraved. So I went into 3DS Max and added the trades. I TRIED to get a much higher resolution where the trades […]

Finally finished the Glock 17. I used files from TWO different Glock prints from Thingiverse. This one took quite a bit of fiddling around to get things to mesh together correctly. Hopefully the last mag printing now will fit right and activate the slide and barrel correctly.

Another fun little dark humor project.

While I've been working on the "Blooper" I whipped up a little sumptin' sumptin' to to dress up my M4. Next step is to prime and paint it.

I know I had designed the display stand for the "Blooper" but when I showed my Dad (Who's a crusty old VietNam SoG vet) he got a real charge out of it. So I'm going to do up another one, get some more Rock White and finish the display stand. Then I'll give it to him for his Garage/Man […]

A SEVEN AND A HALF HOUR MARATHON!!! Yup, we done broke our record!!! Did quite a few GlowForge projects, a few 3D Prints, some 3D design (made a keyboard support for the craft table). Went through the leveling process on the Ender 3v2 with the BL-Touch and Smith3D firmware. (right around the 3 hour […]

Not a super exciting stream, we're still getting back into the swing of things, we'll get there soon, we PROMISE! Nikki slung some more paint and stain, we fired off a GlowForge project or two. Then Ender was cruising away doing a pegboard paint bottle holder. I set up an M1A1 print project to […]
