Test print done :)
Yup, the mechanism is now perfected (after many, many prints!!). It all works as intended — easy to build and easy to use. :)
I am now making all the renderings and nice images so you can see everything that's included and follow along, which means it should be ready for release soon. :)
Thank you for your amazing patience on this one. I trust you will not be disappointed when you see it all and how much work went into this project :)

Amazing :) Will you include a wooden textured stock like you did with the baster?
Yup :)
I hope you don't mind, if I could offer some advice. As I made another variation of this and the problems I had with it. It looks like you did a nice design to connect the lower to the stock. I needed to add screws to mine, and my stock still broke off of the main body. Maybe allow for some screws, to allow for some disassembly of the stock from the lower, to make it easier to transport. Similarly, a means to remove the barrel, to allow for easier transport. And for the fork thing on the end, maybe allow for a small metal rod (3mm?) to be inserted in it's length to give it strength. Also, if using a PVC tube for a barrel, the US plumbing tubes are a slightly different OD. I needed to make a bunch of thin wall shims (tubes) to make things fit better. The US PVC has an OD of about 6.65mm. And while I love the thought of a fully 3D printed trigger mechanisms, they return always ends up breaking, and then you can't get to it to fix it, due to everything else being glued. Mine used rubber bands (which don't last long, and either stretch or break). Maybe just use an honest spring for the trigger return. And also use a small 3mm metal rod for the trigger pivot, as the 3D printed ones break pretty easily. And I trust you are using a small diameter metal rod for the rod that runs the length of the barrel underneath. It looks awesome, just offering some input on what I had to deal with in regards to the other one I made.
Haha thank you buuuuut unfortunatelly time for advice was 2 weeks ago until yesterday when i was still working on it, its all done now :) its why i post about these things so when the project is open people can pitch in and i can tailor it any way they like. Once its done its done :) - those who đessaged me in time will see i did everything they asked for :) That being said, with all that you have written i think you will be very happy and nicelly surprised with the release as you assuemed quitr many thing wich are not true or have allready been solved/ included :)
PLain badassery as usual ;)
I am waiting eagerly for this, it looks awesome as usual of all your work!
thank you so much :)
sold
Add slots on the fork tips for rods please
Any plans to revisit the original pulse rifle? I’d love a version with all the QOL you’ve developed in triggers and such!
The alien pulse rifle ? That was my seinc model i ever made for patreon, maybe i shoudl start revisiting these old things a bit :D
Wow! Another excellent model. This is fantastic and can’t wait to get this bad boy started on my printer.
very very very soon :)
This is gonna look so nice on my wall!
