DLT-19 3D Model

The rear sight has been roughed out, few tweaks left to go

Hi Alan!<br>

I would love to get my hands on those files. Since I'm an industrial mechanic, I would like to build a metal DLT-19.<br>

But the whole world uses the metrical system. Can I use your files and modify them? I would change everything to mm.<br>

If it's possible, I could do some parts on CNC machines...<br>

Usually I'm using SolidWorks.

Ripper_L  -  What format would work for you?  I still have a long way to go.  Since they are in AutoCAD they just need to scaled up X 25.4. AutoCAD make that easy.

 

These drawings are not dimensional accurate to the real deal, I have only held on MG-34 once. They are designed to work with PVC pipe and are based just on photos and the few dimensions I could find. Since I was only considering these being printed in plastic, (sand to fit) I have not added any real world tolerances to the parts. So basically a force fit, so convert them to metal will need to take that in to account.

Alan is the file updated with the sight?

[wizardofflight]

ComradeDave - No, not yet, I am still work on it, trying to get the numbers to work out.

I found a place that 3d prints online. These are not 1:1 scale right? x 25.4?

[wizardofflight]

They are 1 to 1 inch, convert to metric - scale up by 25.4 to get to mm

Inches are fine

This is awesome!  Thanks for sharing this Alan.

Hello,

 

I am getting too old to switch over, only when I have too.

Here is a little update, I had to see what the parts looked like on a barrel.

Please make a file for each part individually. It is easier to arrange the parts for printing.

 

I have a Printrbot 3D printer that I have upgraded to print 12"L X 4"W X 5"H. Future plans are to increase the width to 6" and height to 10".

 

Now I have another SW prop to add to the list for printing.

man, if you ever do a run or share the files, That would be awesome!

He has the link posted to the stl files on his first post

is the barrel in the newest download?

is the barrel in the newest download?

Via the first post

 

... The plan is to use 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" PVC pipe for the barrel ...

[ComradeDave[TK]]

I saw that Al, however one of the pictures prior has a pretty nice looking barrel rendering in it.

Gotcha, just wanted to make sure.

even still I think you're right, using pvc pipe would be just as nice and might be a bit easier

Less clean up and it would be a pain to print all those sticks.

Doing an amazing job

[wizardofflight]

Thank you guys.

 

I apologies for the lack of updates.  Had a personal crisis that has taken a majority of my time.  Not sure when I’ll be able to get back to this as I still have a few months of work to do before life can get back to some kind of normality.  But I will finish it, I'll make sure to break it down the final model in to seperate parts.

Sorry to hear that Alan.  I hope things get back to normal for you soon.

 

Take it easy.
