Tippmann TMC Raptor Style Charging Handle

thingiverse

Unlike the my line of Tippmann TMC triggers that are print and play with no modification, the Tippmann TMC Raptor Charging Handle takes a little bit more work to fit it into your gun. First you must cut the aluminum guide rod out of the original charging handle that came with the gun (the one you are replacing). You do this by cutting down the length of plastic on the bottom end of the charging handle that contains the aluminum guide rod. After you have the rod free from the original charging handle, I recommend trimming the rod at the end that goes into the charging handle by .05inches to get a proper fit. Next is the hard part because you have to wait. You have to either glue or epoxy the guide rod into the Raptor Charging Handle. Squeeze a little bit into the hole that the rod will go into, and a little on the rod itself, and insert it into the hole, and make sure you push it in all the way for a proper fit, you should know its all the way in when you know longer hear air bubbles rushing out when you push on it. Then wait until the glue is cured. Also a few individuals pointed a problem out to me, I design all my parts in US Imperial Inches as it is easier for me to visualize inches than millimeters, so be sure when you import any of my parts into your slicer, that you convert it to millimeters or change your slicer settings to inches to match the parts design.
