Description

M-LOK Rail Cover - short (flat version)

I needed M-LOK Rail cover for my airsoft sniper rifle (Silverback TAC-41). Unfortunately, all covers which I have found are only for “rounded” barrels, so I remixed the original version to the flat one.

Installation:

You do not have to buy overpriced M-LOK nuts and screws. I recommend check these:

M4x12mm (or M4x8mm, depends on your barrel) Flat Head Socket Cap Screws Countersunk Bolts, Alloy Steel Class 10.9 Black Oxide (M4 x 12mm Flat Head Socket Cap Screws Countersunk Bolts, Alloy Steel Class 10.9 Black Oxide, DIN 7991, 50 PCS: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific)
M4 Sliding T Slot Nut Hammer Head Fastener Nut (SpzcdZa 2020 Series T Nuts,105pcs M4 Sliding T Slot Nut Hammer Head Fastener Nut Nickel Plated Carbon Steel, M4 Half Round Roll in T-Nut for 2020 Series Aluminum Extrusion Profile: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific)

.STL file included - please rescale model to 88 mm length (X axis) in your slicer.

I also uploaded the original .STL file - short “rounded” version of rail.

Printing:

PETG or better
100% infill (anyway 25 % triangular would be sufficient)
no support
0,10 mm layer heigh (Prusa Mini Quality profile)
ironing - not required but it looks much better with ironing ON!

A cool little print! Probably could have used some supports underneath to clean it up a bit.

I couldn't get this to print at all on the A1. I tried at least 7 times, I am brand new to printing so it may be my fault but I couldn't get it to work at all. It curled up and came off the bed with in the 1st 3 layers every time. I made sure the plate was clean. I played with temp settings and tried 3 different filaments. pla tough and basic pla. Nothing worked for me unfortunately.

Hi, I am sorry to hear that... anyway, please try to clean up your bed and maybe if you have an issue with filament adhesion you should try to use "brims" or "mouse ears" function in your slicer.
