I don't think so, might be able to if you play with the print orientation, i'll work on shorter version though

I posted a print profile for a version with shortened frame to fit on a mini

I've done the printing and assembly, but I'm having problems. Sometimes the bullet ejects on its own when loading. Other times, the bullet gets stuck and doesn't drop, so when I try to reload, two bullets end up stuck.Any tips on how to fix this? I made it for my son and he's very excited; we only manage 1 or 2 successful shots before everything jams.

The bullets are the most finicky part of this build as they need to snap together super tightly, there is a few things I've figure out to help get a tight fit.
1. Print the bullets and casings with the same filament at the same time, there is only a 0.05 mm clearance where the casing and bullet snap together. I've found that when printing the bullet and casing separately and in different colours or with different filaments can lead to them fitting together to tight or to lose.

2. Play around with scaling the projectile and the casing in the slicer, try to pick one filament and stick with it for all ammo.
3. If you printed the ammo from the print profile, they are scaled down 2% to help keep the casing from getting stuck in the barrel. You can scale the casing and bullet down by up to an additional 2% and see if that helps with casing coming out of the barrel. They have not been scaled down in the raw model files.
It's definitely not a perfect model, but I hope this info helps

Understood! Thank you for responding. I'm having this issue with the casing getting stuck; the bullet exits from the front and the casing remains stuck in the barrel. Should I reduce it by 2% to see if that helps? I will print everything using the same filament and color as per your guidance.

Sorry for continuing to post questions. I'm still doing a virtual assembly because the perfect spring hasn't been delivered yet, but I want to know if the assembly structure is correct. I can't find the internal cylinder structure in the manual, so I'm trying to assemble it based on guesswork.

looks good, but the that spring you have in there should be behind the striker. That's the spring that will actually strike and propel the projectile

I am now adjusting the magazine and bullet tolerances. According to the manual, it says to insert bullets into the magazine so that it is difficult to remove them by hand. In theory, if you do this, won't the magazine and bullets be fired together instead of being separated when actually fired? Is it enough for it not to fall out when I put a bullet in the magazine and turn it over?

I can't figure out how to get the barrel across the front plate.

the rear of the barrel has to be placed through the front plate first, then attached to the lower frame. this is the one assembly difference between the short on long version I forgot to add to the guide
edit: you will also have to take off the upper frame first.

You may have to reprint the front part as that could be the older version with the smaller front diameter. depends when you downloaded the files.

would be cool to have better instructions... i mean this is pretty hard to assemble and i am engineer

I admittedly suck at putting build instructions into words and I don't have a camera setup to film a build guide. I'll try to add in actual photos of the assembly process, but this a self-taught hobby I do on breaks at work. Thank you for the feedback though, I appreciate it.
Edit: I would also really appreciate if you could let me know specific issues with assembly you were having so I can improve the build guide. Thanks!

Just took a look at the build guide again and realized how bad it is, re-working it right now. Sorry, about that

Just sand or file down the edges a bit. They need to snap together super tight or they will separate when cocking it. You could also play around with scaling the bullet parts up or down by 0.5% in the slicer. The fit will also change depending on the type of filament you are using and how well tuned your flow rate is. Because of the super tight tolerances you will need to play around with it to see what works best for your printer and filament.

Wont that cause the bullet to not fit in the case?

You have to just carefully sand it bit by bit, making sure not to do to much. It only take like 10 seconds of sanding.

Hi BrewBoy, my print platform is 200*200 MM, and the original file only needs a very small space to fit. If I scale it to 99%, it fits. Only this component has the problem. Would you please help to "fix" it ^_^ . Thank you in advance.

Hey, if you have a bambu printer there is a print profile for a shortened version that fits on small printers. They are also available in the raw model files. The barrel, upper, lower & front plate are the only different short parts you will need to print, everything else will be the same.

I don`t have a bambu. I will try to modify the full-length version to fit 200*200 platform. Thank you anyway.

you don't need a bambu, you can download the short frame from the raw models, they are also on printables

在使用petg时，调整了大小。其中因弹簧太强而容易频繁断裂的部件切开后粘合，以增加强度。

It's awesome that you have put so much effort into these models and you continue to take peoples ideas into consideration and give tips on how to better print your files. plus, you have added even more to this model set and a target/ ammo box to go with it! awesome

Most definitely! is it just a larger mag with the same bullets or is it a rifle sized bullet?

Also, are you making it eject out the side now because it looks like the bottom ejection hole is gone.

I don't know what this is. I have a rough idea of where the other parts are, but what is this used for?

That is the lift table for the magazine. It separates the ammo from the spring and make sure the ammo feeds at the proper angle. It slides into the bottom of the magazine.
