Leshiy 2 - 3D print

Designed a Speed Loader for L2, put a lot of work in this (OpenScad 397 code lines) to make it an easy print, my 3D printer is a home made reprap so any printer with a bed size from 150x150 mm should do

I designed it as simple as possible, you will only need the 3 printed parts, one 4mm x 30 screw with counter sunk head, a shim and a lock nut

The discs is held i position by friction between the printed parts, the lock nut is used to adjust this friction, no balls and springs

Ad glue to the head of the screw, this will make it stick to the adapter part

Put the parts together and tighten the nut and let the glue settle, (edit:) when dry, loosen the nut a bit and adjust the friction

Turn left middle and upper discs and load pellets

Turn upper disc clock wise to drop the pellets to middle disc

Turn upper disc anti clock wise to lock

The speed loader is fixed by the L2 indexing arm so only one hand needed, turn clockwise to drop the pellets in mag

Great, any 3D printer will do, this is a very easy model to print, no sharp corners, no warping, all surfaces and holes chamfered so no elephant foot problems, no finishing work involved, never had a print fail on me

I prefer PLA MAX, a lot stronger than PLA, easy to print, better finish, finer details, do not scratch

Yes sunlight do have an effect on PLA MAX on a longer timeline, but nothing like instantly igniting Vampires, kept in the pocket, no problemo

I don't buy from there, just an example:

This is so awesome 
 
towle,

Thank you for sharing! Unfortunately, you got me to go out and buy 3D printer (actually I have been thinking about buying one for awhile - you just pushed me over the edge). Again thank you for sharing and the effort you put into the development of this!

You are welcome! - hope you will enjoy you new hobby, lots of roads to follow, you can go deep and learn about the software, G-codes, the mechanics of printers and CNC or learn to design your own parts - or just have fun printing whats already available at thingiverse and many other sites 

Happy printing!
