gat crank (optimized for 3d printing!)

thingiverse

Ive been wanting to do one of these for a while. Found the files in the fosscad mega pack. The original file was a great place to start but the scaling,thickness,mounting method,etc was not anything close imo to a print and play file. There are two pushers just like the hyper gat you can purchase for 50 bucks for different sized trigger guards. This model has been printed and dry fired tested and it does work! I havent had a chance to have any real fun with it yet. I added some threaded set screws on the bottom to lock it in on the trigger guard. This way it should fit a wider array of weapons.I used the left over stock anet a8 allen head screws to bolt the two halves together (dont know the size?) and I almost always had to round the hole out a little on both plates for the paddle wheel to turn freely. update: after testing I added a 2nd crank that you can get a better grip with your finger in to spin it quickly. Also a recess for the allen head and more clearance for the screw. The paddle is threaded as well to make it easier to make a solid connection. The crank may need to be scaled up by 1 or 2% to aid in fitting to the paddle.
