Vash the Stampede's Revolver from Trigun - remixed and supported

thingiverse

I printed Vash's revolver http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:251565, and while it was pretty good looking from a side view I thought it didn't really seem very imposing. So I modified Dan0nator's prop (and JersyBeast's remix) to make a design that is slightly closer to the anime gun. Here's a summary of the changes I made: 1) scaled the entire thing up by 10% 2) widened the barrel, frame, and pins while maintaining important dimensions like caliber - now it doesn't look like the barrel would explode when fired 3) made the upper part of the barrel taller to match the anime (upper and lower halves of the barrel are roughly the same size) and resized other parts to match 4) remade the cylinder and ejector into a six-shooter version from a five-shooter 5) combined the frame with the pin for connecting it to the handle, reoriented the frame and added supports Instructions The parts should be ready to slice and print as they are - I got a non-manifold error with the cylinder mount pin but it still sliced for me. The frame supports should easily snap off. Take care with attaching the handle to the frame, the pin's orientation on the frame makes it somewhat weak. I softened the pin and hole with an acetone+ABS slurry (assuming you're printing in ABS)before attaching the handle.
