  24. Help with DLT-19

    in The Foundry - Armor and Prop Making

    Posted

    I might not be understanding you correctly, but the “support” piece is the dowel or in your modification the aluminum rod. The PVC is not a support piece but the actual barrel of the weapon which sits inside the barrel shroud (that is the printed piece in your pic above). Depending of the design of your print, the end of the PVC pipe should insert maybe 1/2” - 1” into the main body of the DLT19 and the also into the tip of the muzzle on the other end. The rod/dowel that sits in the PVC pipe usually runs from inside the muzzle, through the PVC and extends into the stock. That is what strengthens the prop.

    Your PVC pipe looks a bit thick so maybe it’s not able to go into the muzzle or main body. I used a 1/2” copper pipe instead of PVC with the dowel running through it and had no issues with fit, but again your design may be different.

    Do you have shots of the muzzle and main body where the dowel inserts?
