CFP214

The guts of the gun. Opened it up to test how my endcap would fit...I forgot the back of the barrel was 1.375" and I made the cap scaled to 1.25" like the front of the barrel...oops. time for a reprint! Also added some stops in the inside of the cap so when I remove the stock endcap, I can just slide it on and it will fit right in the spot I want. CAD picture is below to show what I mean Those stops are 0.20" from the outer plane so it should give me some room to epoxy the cap in place. Should be able to print and test it tonight

Well, in the process of modifying the solid model of the front site so once I nail it down I'll print it, check the fit and then hit you up. As for the end cap, yes it is tapered to how it should be. Time to bust out the Dremel and cut off the old one. Pics to come

The DD kit front sight is too big huh? You going to cut the sight off at the barrel and replace it? Thinking of doing the same cause the one on there just isn't done too well. Takes just as long to print 2 as it does 1!

Material is SLA. Brittle but better resolution than the ABS printers. It's easy enough to sand and paint though so should work the way I want

Hey All, finally getting around to starting a build of my own while I wait for my armor. I was going to start by modifying my old Hasbro blaster, but I recently went to Disneyland and picked up their new E-11 to try my hand at modifying that. As this is relatively new territory, let me know any ideas or comments on how I go about things. And any tips and tricks would be appreciated! Brought it home and took it right out of the box to see the overall design. Comes like shown here: Not too bad for an out of the box toy! First thing I noticed is that the scale of the overall blaster is a bit scaled down. Thanks to charlesnarles' post, I figured the scale is around 83% of the real Blaster. Below are some measurements I took of the barrel, front and rear About 1.25" at the nose and about 1.375" at the tail end, right before the endcap. For this build, I will be using a high end 3D printer to print out modded pieces as well as using other hardware to make it more like the real E-11. I like the lights and sounds of this blaster so it was a good starting point. I have read a few topics saying 3D printing may not be the way to go, but the printer I have access to is high quality and doesnt leave the visible layers of the plastic. for example, this is the endcap I plan to use to replace the one on the blaster. I have the holes for the speaker sound effects and will clean it up by sanding and 2part epoxy. I also made a 0.01" recess in the center to make fitting the D-Ring holder easy. Not too bad though right out of the printer. Let me know what you think Just realized these pics got deleted off photobucket...no worries. go to page 2 to see a better version of the endcap Soon I plan to open up the blaster and replace the tail section with this piece. Ill post after I complete it. Also, below is the D-ring and D-ring holder that I printed out. All pieces were created using drawings from Ducati's build, so credit to him. Stay tuned for the install. Let me know any beginning thoughts you have!
