Description

This is a toy for cosplay or display purposes only! Never brandish this as a real weapon or bring it out in public, this is a toy modeled off of a REAL LIFE firearm, treat it as such. Just because you know it's a toy, doesn't mean other people will. Enjoy, be safe, and be smart!

 

This is a semi-functional prop inspired by the ACP9 submachine gun. As it is now it makes a great display piece or prop but I am still working towards making it a repeating launcher with shell ejection. I'll try to update with a build guide & general improvements, but for now I hope those up to the task enjoy!

 

If you liked this model and want other launchers and replicas find me on Printables @BREWBOY420 to check out the (PLAS)TEC-9, BB-420 Carbine and the BB-MPK Brew Boy | Printables.com

 

NOTE: This is my first time trying out Makerworld, please let me know if my profiles are messed up or if you have any questions. I will be uploading profiles for all the accessories as I have time to do so.

I might have to check that one out, does it have the same issues silk filaments have? I am curious about how strong it is compared to regular PLA.

Nice, looks like it prints super clean, might have to grab some when I get some more grey/silver filament.

I like the overall look of it but I know I have my springs at the right size you listed and it's impossible to cock it with the little charge youve made no matter the amount of glue. I just tried cocking it and it came out which the force made the gun fall out of my hands and it hit the ground and broke to stock off. What did you do to make it slide back easy to prime the trigger? I even tried a smaller spring but that still didnt work. I have to use a tool from the other side while pulling the charger back to get it to prime it.

damn, I'm really sorry to hear that. Mine fits pretty tightly with friction but then I superglued it as well. First make sure the bolt and striker move easily without the springs in place, they should slide around when you tip the gun. Once you've made sure that's in order I would try cutting down the springs slightly shorter, they should be under almost no compression when the bolt and striker are in the forward position. I hope this helps you, and again, I'm very sorry about the problems your experiencing. Your print looks great though

Where is the aperture sights download? Also should the ammo be printed in PLA or TPU?
0
Reply
Replying to @Codyinbody3 :
The sights can be found in the Raw Model files, each sight (front & back) consists of three files. glow-dots are optional for the rear sight. PLA is what I used for the ammo, unfortunately I never figure out a way to efficiently extract & eject the spent casing on this model so ammo is not super necessary as its basically just a single shot.

Were you going to upload the accessories here like the folding stock because I noticed on Printables there are a ton of files for this model?

those files are up on here as standalone pieces that you'll have to load individually. still working on some print profiles for the accesorries. Edit: I know they're uploaded on here somewhere, just not sure how to access them again on the app or computer after I uploaded profiles

I was wondering about this too as I noticed they weren't included in the print profiles. The other items can be found under Raw model files. You'll have to download them and load them in manually. I imagine most of the settings can just be matched. EDIT: It does look like both the folding stock and fixed stock, the stocks themselves, are missing from the raw model files.

I'll hopefully get one up by Friday, but as a heads up I really suck at making build guides so it will mainly be pictures.

@BrewBoy For the forward grip, would it be possible to split it into to pieces and make the pole portion threaded? I printed the TPU part in 95A TPU because that's all I have and I can't seem to find black 92A, and well there's no way I'm going to be getting it to slide over the flared bottom. Also, are there assembly instructions?

Good to Know, ill work on a solution!

Do you think you would be able to slide it over if the flare at the bottom was only 0.5 - 1mm larger than the diameter of the whole in the grip? its currently 3 mm larger.

Quite possibly because I will say it's pretty close. I tried and it just wouldn't budge with the current size.

it's very cool I get great comments on it and it's not even finished.i did have to use pb blaster to make it slide easy and I didn't like that the pull back was not a tad bit bigger to handle the tough pull back

Really nice toy, very realistic, I only had screws that we're a bit too long, aside from that it has very nice aesthetic and the though process must have been incredible.
