Next up, thanks to mussy on thingiverse for an awesome design. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191204/30a838d048544aba24b780e3254f8d9e.jpg

Awesome! Been looking to get into this as a hobby. Where are you finding the files for these?

[ninner]

This one came from thingiverse, grabcad is another. Most of the stuff I do I design in fusion360 modeling software
Windows 10 even has decent modeling software built in. An Ender3 printer can be had for $200. Simplify3d printing software is $125 add plastic and your good to go.

Commenting on this thread for a couple of reasons... I got in on the Black Friday MDT chassis deal too, for my model 10. Through an order screwup, though, I'm still waiting for it. An LSS showed up last week instead of the LSS-XL I wanted.

Second thing, on printing... I was looking at possibly getting one of these 2-round M-LOK quivers... but man, are they pricey! I started thinking about getting a 3D printer just to try printing one. What do you think?

That’s cool I’ve never seen one should be an easy design if a file isn’t already available.

I haven't found one yet, but I've only checked Thingiverse. I have zero 3D printing experience, but my brother suggested an Ender and maybe I'll pick one up in 2020 to fool around with.

An ender3 is what I use, I’ve been playing around in 3D builder in windows 10 this morning here’s what I built for 7wsmhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191215/fb82e53971a21b9aa869391765e54429.jpg

Well when it all settled out the MDT long action chassis ended up being a 300 win mag and the 6.5 creedmore is in a lefty axis MDT chassis I found on eBay. I redesigned the stock and it’s reprinting out of some really tough stuff I usually make gears from. Moral of the story is given the time, effort and cost of material I should have just bought a luthAR stock and called it good. But then I wouldn’t have learned about 2 shot quivers and designed one for damn near every caliber I own. Below is a pic of the mdt axis chassis, I really like the pistol grip.

Glass half full, I like it.

If you feel like printing one in .308 for me, I'll happily fork over something for it. It may be the nudge I need to get into printing.

Actually have some printing today, have to see how they turn out. Here is the first part of the modified stock. It needs a little sanding and some flat black epoxy but it looks good so far. I added the Savage 300 Win mag stenciling to the side and reworked the internals in the back to take a 3/8 carriage bolt I’m going to use for a monopod. The plastic I’m using is RYNO from matter hackers. It’s expensive but stronger than crap and prints very well.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191217/349602544145dd815d40c720c8f19311.jpg if you look closely at the mag you can see where I had to modify it to accommodate the back shelf on the stagger feed receiver.

I like the custom elements in the stock: Savage, 300 Win Mag. It looks like it printed really well. Monopods are another otherwise expensive thing that seem to lend themselves to printing.

Here are my proof of concept 3006 and 308 quivers, I went with a minimalist look and will beef it up if it doesn’t hold up. I’m probably going to double the thickness of the front and back rings on the next run.

Well... I just got a large hint that there’s an Ender 3 under the tree for me. So maybe I’ll be hitting you up for some files...

[ninner]

No problem

Got a chance to sight her in at 100yds, I’m very happy with the accuracy this is factory Winchester 150 gr. At 100 yds off a bipod with a trigger pull right at 6.5 lbs. after I get the old 3 screw down to 3ish lbs I expect the groups to get a lot tighter.

The stock modified for a monopod, yes it’s currently a 3/8ths carriage bolt but in 10 minutes on the lathe I can make it pretty.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI think the carriage bolt has more character than the monopod does. I'd leave it.

The carriage bolt and the printed stock are thematically accurate to the Fallout series of videogames. Not that you were going for that theme.

No but since I’ve played fallout 4 maybe it was subliminal.
