AK Rifle Stand

This is inspired by this. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1869439 I took the Defense Distributed AK magazine and used the locking lug measurements from that and designed this myself, using Fusion360. This is a two part display stand where you insert the base into the body. With my printers these parts go together firmly and strong but are easy to disassemble and reassemble. Your mileage will vary alot! Beware this version will require some custom fitting of the rear locking lug probably in order for the body to actually lock into your AK rifle! This ensures a tighter fit but also since its really easy to shave a bit off and due to the high variance among AK rifles I'm not going to bother trying to get it perfect. I have included the file you can import into Fusion360 to modify this model if you want or need to I printed this with both PLA and PETG and both work great. If your using Cura like me use the custom supports addon and place supports under the rear locking lug. The front is tapered and does not need supports even at .32 layer height with PETG, in my experience. 4 wall lines makes a very strong and rigid body in both PLA and PETG. Infil isnt really that important for strength. You should print the body so that the lugs are on the bottom and closest to the print bed. This will mean you need less support material for the rear lug and it will likely turn out better. Because of how AK magazines work its probably not easily possible to do a horizontal printing version. The base or bottom should be printed so the flat side is the bottom/touching the bed and you will need to add supports below the part that is sticking out. Other than that supports may not be necessary.
