As per the instructions, print in ABS Noz 0.6-0.8, LH 0.15.

I would prefer not to print for people, not because I am mean but because I live in Australia and the cost of sending it to you would outweigh the savings to you (as in $35 USD for something that costs in the area of $4USD to print)! If you want it printed locally near you, your best bet is to use something called "3D Hubs" which searches for local printers near your location. https://www.3dhubs.com/ If you have doubts, send me a message and I will be able to help.

I intend to make another version of this with an unscrewable end cap so you can see the bolt face.

I missed where you were from.

I got a Mug from a motorcycle group I was involved with over there. I think in the end it cost about $50! Only one like it in the US though.

One guy wanted some software, encryption I think and open to any buyer here, I checked, illegal to send that stuff. Ergh. Sorry. Then we found out NSA was monitoring everying. Phew.


I seem to be missing something, if its not a cocking device, but does un-cock, how do you get it out?

Or do you un-cock it and put it in and still get it back out? :confused:

I think you did a great job making this. Although some think it was a waste of time, I have a use for it as we discussed. Again, great job in taking the time in making these.

If leaving in the gun and u don't want to dry fire, simply hold down the trigger when u close the bolt. It is so easy a cave man can do it.

I have to say though, I could make a lot of neat stuff with one of those printers.

You are not allowed to leave a bolt in a rifle whilst in storage in Australia. The bolt must be kept in a separate locked container. Dont get me wrong, releasing the firing pin isn't hard, but that is not what this device is solely for.

Here is the protector in Form Futura Premium ABS (extra strength). As you can see by the slice, it wont be breaking anytime soon.

A solution for a non-existent problem.

I had a great-uncle who made and lost several fortunes in his lifetime -- died a millionaire, though. He once told me, "The secret to becoming a millionaire is to come up with something absolutely no one needs -- but that absolutely everyone thinks they want." I suspect he was right.

Was he the pet rock guy in the 80's?

Yes, current link is a working model. The black was PLA, and the red is high strength ABS.

Currently have a model for one with a removable base so you can see the bolt face. But I won't have it printed for another 24 hours. I will put that version up in a min, I know it will print, it is just a little harder due to supports.

I like the ABS one as well. Nice job nightram!

Just out of curiousity what printer are you using?

I've been tossing around getting a QIDI tech 1.

[nightram]

An Ultimaker 2+ at the moment. If I had my time again I'd get a felix

As an update. The bolt protector is working fine and still hasn't broken.

For interests sake, it has been downloaded 325 times. Though this doesn't actually prove how many have been made, but one would like assume that it has been made at least 325 times at minimum since it was uploaded.

Happy shooting all!
