Dalek Thompson Submachine Gun 1.0.0

Good to see these plans 'out in the wild'. Cheers

what printer would you use for this

I have no idea to be honest. I built my gun by hand.

Hi - Downloaded this to print for my son but cannot figure the scale for these.  The parts seem to be tiny.  What scale should be used for a full size gun?

I’ve never used a 3D printer. What information would be useful?

Just need to know the scale they are drawn at - for instance when I open the STL files for the Barrel Tine the part is 0.6 x 2.3 x 19.5 mm. All the other parts seem to be to the same scale to make a full gun at about 50mm long. Scaling it all up isn't difficult but knowing the scale would help - enev if you could say how long certain parts are on your full size one then a scale could be deduced.  Thanks

Ok - think I have worked it out - taking the 1.75mm assembly holes as a guide the STL files are at 1/10th scale - the holes are 0.175mm so I will work on enlarging 10 times for full size.

Glad it's sorted. I need access to my works computer to check this as everything is on there. It's possible that my software was set to cm as I did have that issue when I started using Inventor. I've since learned how to change the units to mm.

I have printed a 1/4 scale to see how it goes and created gcode for full scale printing.  I did print the 1/10th scale as it looks like it id perfect for the CO figures scale.  Only two parts that would not print on my BIBO2 printer - the Barrel and the rear tine bracket as they wouldn't print at that scale with 0.06mm slices.
