E11 Stormtrooper Blaster action grip

thingiverse

Grip for mounting on a 40 mm outer diameter pipe build of a Blastech E11 action replica. Or a Sterling SMG, if you'd rather build one of those. Based mainly on reference files from the Blaster Builders Club and somewhat on other various sources and pictures from the web. There are cavities for a tact switch and a 6,6 mm potentiometer inside the grip for the trigger and the fire mode switch respectively. These are intended as inputs for an Arduino. Go bananas with addressable RGBs and a sound module, if you like. Oh, and there's room for a spring, or half a spring from a retractable ball point pen or similar for the trigger action. This is made to go with the Hengstler counter I've published earlier. Made for a cheap extruder printer that doesn't like bridging or overhangs very much. Any 3D-printer should be able to print this, but I've not printed this myself yet, so there could be structural errors that have slipped by netfabb. Instructions Use the reference stl of the assembled grip to see how this goes together. It's not rocket science, and you're a maker, right? The assembled grip is not meant for printing, as it contains too many internal structures that I couldn't be arsed to remove. Besides, the point of this grip is to make a blaster prop with sound and light. A grip printed in one block of plastic would make mounting the sensors pretty hard.
