wizardofflight Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 The rear sight has been roughed out, few tweaks left to go Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper_L[Admin] Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi Alan!<br> I would love to get my hands on those files. Since I'm an industrial mechanic, I would like to build a metal DLT-19.<br> But the whole world uses the metrical system. Can I use your files and modify them? I would change everything to mm.<br> If it's possible, I could do some parts on CNC machines...<br> Usually I'm using SolidWorks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardofflight Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Ripper_L - What format would work for you? I still have a long way to go. Since they are in AutoCAD they just need to scaled up X 25.4. AutoCAD make that easy. These drawings are not dimensional accurate to the real deal, I have only held on MG-34 once. They are designed to work with PVC pipe and are based just on photos and the few dimensions I could find. Since I was only considering these being printed in plastic, (sand to fit) I have not added any real world tolerances to the parts. So basically a force fit, so convert them to metal will need to take that in to account. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeDave[TK] Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I found a place that 3d prints online. These are not 1:1 scale right? x 25.4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardofflight Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 They are 1 to 1 inch, convert to metric - scale up by 25.4 to get to mm Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizardofflight Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hello, I am getting too old to switch over, only when I have too. I'm closer to Detroit than I am to the rest of my country, I grew up with imperial units lol Here is a little update, I had to see what the parts looked like on a barrel.

nmcguff Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Please make a file for each part individually. It is easier to arrange the parts for printing. I have a Printrbot 3D printer that I have upgraded to print 12"L X 4"W X 5"H. Future plans are to increase the width to 6" and height to 10". Now I have another SW prop to add to the list for printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizardofflight Posted March 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Thank you guys. I apologies for the lack of updates. Had a personal crisis that has taken a majority of my time. Not sure when I’ll be able to get back to this as I still have a few months of work to do before life can get back to some kind of normality. But I will finish it, I'll make sure to break it down the final model in to seperate parts.
