Description
Please inform yourself about the legislation which is currently being considered in Washington, California, New York and Colorado, and will restrict and regulate 3D printers, and 3D printing software. These bills may seem well intentioned, but they will lead to a government veto on what we can print, which software we can use, and how we can sell or transfer our 3D printers. Criminalizing possible uses of 3D printers, and treating 3D printing hobbyists as though we need to be closely monitored, is contrary to the opensource and creative ethos which has lead to rapid innovation, and new small business or educational opportunities in this space. These bills are very misinformed about the risks and rewards of 3D printing, and about the 3D printing community itself. If they become law, they will have an outsized effect on 3D printing, create barriers to how we use and transfer our printers, and will hamper the hobby we love, as other states will very likely take up similar laws.

Now back to the model info:
This is the updated version 2.1 of the Dummy 13 Weapons Pack. It includes a new pump action shotgun and fully redesigned katanas, handguns, holsters as well as several optimizations to the frame to help with adhesion issues that were reported on the v2.0 model. The MP5SD looking weapon as well as a pair of MP5K's are still here though, so Dummy 13 can look like Neo taking on the Matrix, at least until the thought that maybe Dummy 13 is part of the Matrix enlightens a synapse in it's AI enabled cortex, leading to an existential crisis…
Once you've rebooted Dummy 13, it can be outfitted with a pair of AI friendly All-American survival knives (red bandana encouraged, but not included). If Dummy 13 needs more pew-pew, and less stabby-stabby, the updated handgun models are included, with a new design that looks more accurate, and fits into it's fully redesigned holsters nicely too. The katanas are all new as well, along with their backpack scabbard. And finally, there is also a wrist watch included, which snaps over the forearm of the Dummy 13 model.
This weapons pack goes great with Mici's Dummy 13 Deadpool costume, in case you may be wondering.
I almost forgot to mention, the MP5SD looking weapon has an extendable stock*
*The stock will only extend if the printer is really dialed in, otherwise it may end up fused. It took about a dozen test prints to get the telescoping stock working right, and my printer is pretty decently dialed in (cough - just ignore the stringing in the pics though :D). If it does seem a bit stuck, sometimes giving the stock a light twist back and forth can free it. But if it won't pop in or pull out with a modest bit of effort, it's fused, so enjoy your MP5SD looking static model, and forget I mentioned anything about an extendable stock.
There is a 3FM included, which has everything set up for printing. The model has integrated supports for the MP5SD looking weapons (the large rifle), so you will see a warning about unsupported overhangs, which can be ignored (since the supports are integrated). The 3MF designer profile includes a painted version of the model on a 2nd plate.
You can use a smooth or textured plate, however the profile is set up for a textured plate which will help with adhesion. If you feel your smooth plate has good adhesion, please try it and post a comment on what plate you used and how it went. The frame on this update has been optimized to add new features that help hold some of the more problematic parts down, but due to the small features however, promoting adhesion is still important when printing this design. Some suggestions for promoting adhesion when printing this model are:
