  A few minor things that I might work on later is putting cover over numbers in counter and some kind of lens in sight.

Congrats on this beautiful blaster, Robert.  :duim:
This result really changes my way of thinking about 3D-printed blasters.
Would you mind sharing the weight with us?


It’s about 0.6 kg, pretty light compared to others I have seen on troops.

0,6 kg ??? :shok: THAT is by far the lowest weight, I ever came across for an E-11 blaster - considering the level of details. :duim: Wishing you a lot of fun with this nice blaster.

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?

 

There is no concern. It IS fragile.

 

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).

    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.
