3D Printing

[Russell Hill]

Hello all,


I was hoping someone could help me, I will shortly (next couple of month hopefully) need a few bits 3D printed for a customised paintball gun I am making. I know that some places will not do any parts for any type of gun.


So has anyone on here ever had anything printed, or know of a company that would print paintball gun parts. I would be supplying the CAD drawings for the parts.

just contact all the 3d printing companies and ask them directly, and dont refer to your marker as a gun, im sure if you explain the situation, some will and some wont.

I guess that is the easiest way to do it, I was kind of hoping someone had done it before and could offer some advice, and suggest a company kind to paintballers!

I thought that 3d- printers are so cheap nowadays, maybe you just have to buy one and start offering 3d - printing services for customers

For a good one you're still looking for a few thousand pounds, plus operating one does take a certain level of skill. Not really feasible for printing a few bits and bobs.

I'd love to get an Inception Pico printed but not been able to find an affordable provider.

My own printer is still a far off dream!

The Inception Pico is the printed hopper right?

Yeah, dinky force fed loader that uses Halo internals

I had such a hard time getting a decent bouble trigger fir my TM-7. A 3d printer would be ideal for knocking up such a part .
