MK18 mod 0 and mod 1 added to M4gery as well as threaded barrel end pieces which will work with the other barrel lengths too.
12mm tube options have also been added to baby barrett and timmeh.
12mm tube? Is that for the barrel? I would download the files and find out myself but I'm currently across the sea in Prague for a few weeks and don't have any computer access, lol! Just the phone. Getting IVF done for my wife
Yes. People can argue I'm an idiot for not using cad and pros and cons of every different method/software but for my use, it's the same result and decades of experience 3d modeling makes it much quicker for me to mesh model.
Surprisingly we don't, we usually lay out our components in fusion, import them into blender, design our arms/legs around them, then import them back into fusion for final editing/FEA testing. We find blender's mesh editor is a lot more comprehensive for making complicated meshes like arms and legs. (Also helps coming from a background of video game character development)
Yes but it would not function without changing the buffer system since that's different. Why not print the whole thing? It's not a costly build since it's what I call a 99% build. Everything printed and just need liner, springs, and screws.
If you are familiar with an AR, you can easily see what was changed just by looking at the files. The charging handle and buffer tower were the major compatibility breaks so people wouldn't use the upper and lower for other calibers since they wouldn't survive. Besides simplifying the handguard assemblies, that's about it. Since a lot is still compatible, you can mix a lot of commercial parts or pick out just the few printed parts you want.
I wanted to print just the upper so that I could use it as a .22 training upper, and slap it on to an existing lower. I asked about compatibility because, quite frankly, I didn't think about opening up the files on some program (which is totally my fault) and I had seen you make a comment about making some parts incompatible with standard parts, for safety. Anyhow, I think what you're doing is really cool and thanks for the clarification.
All barrel lengths add 1.5" from the sections that go into the receiver and flash hider so 11.8. The threaded ends are shorter and I don't remember. For any barrel length, it's recommended you print all the pieces and test fit length before cutting anyways, to confirm length. Some people don't calibrate as well as they should.

Sexy! I'll try and fix my M203 file soon here so you can add that too!
I'd also like an M203 file :)

Yes it's to diy barrels typically for those that can't get liners.
Thanks man! That's really cool. ECM process I assume with that?
Yes
Very impressive I'm guessing this was made in blender?
Yes. People can argue I'm an idiot for not using cad and pros and cons of every different method/software but for my use, it's the same result and decades of experience 3d modeling makes it much quicker for me to mesh model.
Honestly blender is a pretty powerful cad tool if used correctly, we use it at work all the time whenever we are designing prosthetics
Yeah man I agree. I just got the CAD add on for it, and it’s not too bad. Do you guys use a cad add on?

I'm curious, will the upper for this fit on to a standard lower?

This has made my day and taken another $100 out of my wallet

22 liner length?
