Complete Add ons for Turbostar's M3 Predator Pistol from Mass Effect

thingiverse

Turbostar's M3 Predator Pistol design has some great add ons to make the the pistol look better. These include grip pads, a mock slider for the groove on the top of the pistol, and pins/buttons at several locations. Unfortunately only one of two needed sides is provided for the pads and mock slider, and the stl file contains only one pin/button when 14 are needed. So I went ahead and make the missing side for the pads and mock slider, and created a file producing 15 pins/buttons. I also include ones containing a single pin/button and one with 5 case you need some extras. In making the pistol, even though it isn't canon (presumably hand-canon.. sorry couldn't resist the pun), the slider looked great in two other places but needed to be longer for one location, shorter for the other and narrower for both. So I'm including files with one off the standard mock slider as well as the modified versions. Please note, this is not a complete set of files needed to make the M3 predator pistol prop. You will need to download Turbostar's files in addition to these to make the complete pistol. UPDATE: After all that effort to make the buttons/pins stl to print, I ended up only using two of them. I liked the look of using small screws better so that is what I used for all but one set of the pin holes. I added an LED to stand in for a light or targeting laser (how else would they acquire targets so quickly?). I didn't paint on the A and B selectors like Turbostar did, but I used the modified sliders I posted in the depressions/grooves shown in the second image. Everything was printed in white PLA except the accessories. These were printed in black PLA. 15% infill 0.2mm layers 8 top and bottom layers 6 perimeter shells supports if angles equal to or greater than 45degrees
