Bolt Pistol (human scale)

This is my version of the famous bolt pistol. I know there are already a ton of these, and I could have printed any one of them, but I felt like making my own. I thought some people might like it. 

It's scaled for regular non-genetically engineered humans, as  I basically wanted to be able to print every piece in one go on the A1 mini. 

It's mostly a static model without much in terms of moving parts. The magazine catch does work, but in my print it required some cuts to get it loose.  

I tried to make the trigger ‘print in place’ and movable, but it just turned out ‘stuck in place’. Probably because I didn't really engineer it in any way, or even thought about it over much. 

The bolt can be fixed in place by putting it sideways in the rail(?), turning it with the handy bolt-slide-tool (the little T-shaped thing), and gluing on the bolt handle*. There's even a little spring included in the print which does basically nothing. You can also just glue the bolt handle in place. 

Most other parts you just glue together as you see fit. It's fairly self-explanatory. 


*: if it isn't clear, I know little about gun terminology.
