T-Jay[TK] Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Placement of all attachment parts looks spot on, Robert. Like Brian already mentioned, you could do some details and weathering to push this blaster even further. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husky68[TK] Posted December 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Final pictures of my blaster. A few minor things that I might work on later is putting cover over numbers in counter and some kind of lens in sight.

T-Jay[TK] Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Congrats on this beautiful blaster, Robert. This result really changes my way of thinking about 3D-printed blasters. Would you mind sharing the weight with us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind sharing the weight with us? It’s about 0.6 kg, pretty light compared to others I have seen on troops.

THAT is by far the lowest weight, I ever came across for an E-11 blaster - considering the level of details. Wishing you a lot of fun with this nice blaster.

buzzlightbulb Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 I am concerned about the durability of the E-11 3D printed blaster. It seem very fragile, like it might shatter if I drop it, or something snap off putting it in the holster. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I broke mine twice and I finally stick a metal tube inside it to give it some strength (donated by my old vacuum cleaner, RIP). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husky68[TK] Posted January 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 In the end any blaster can break as resin and even metal ones are not indestructible. Perhaps an advantage for 3D prints is an increase of accuracy, ability to print replacement parts and the decrease of printer costs. It is possible to increase the infill or print with other materials like ABS and PETG which may affect durability. With chemical welding mine is pretty solid but expecting one day something will happen that will require repair or replacement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
