Hi guys!

Last week I decided to make some custom parts for my self.

(a lapco bigshot M4 muzzle, a sight with RIS end a shroud for my mag)

I'm a industrial designer and I did those parts in Solidworks.

To produce them, I haved use a 3D printer (Dimension Elite is a 3D printer that makes proto in ABS)

Saturday I'ved test the parts on the field... conclusion , they are strong enough to play!

Note: I will receive the mag shroud only thusday , so I will update the picture this week.

Heres some pics!

On the A5

Xander

Wow thats so cool. I wish I had a 3D printer. My college wanted to get the Zprinter but don't know what happened. Looks very sturdy and professional. Looking forward to see how the rail covers turn out.
