Description
I recently got back into Airsoft/ garden target shooting and created this small case to store 12 gram CO2 cartridges. It has a capacity for 25 cartridges, with a sliding top lid to keep them secure. I tried to keep durability in mind during the design stage to ensure longevity. I used generic PLA for my example case, but I would recommend PETG or a higher strength material depending on how hard wearing you need your case to be. You will need 20 M3x8mm countersunk screws in order to assemble (link to the makers supply store below). Alternatively, you might be able to get away with using glue for assembly. Just note this method won't be as strong. I used Bambu's build plate vinyl (carbon effect) to give a nice finish to the cartridge dividers. The text inlay on the top was “painted” with an AMS. This text is pre-highlighted for you within the 3mf files I have provided.
Part name | Quantity | Infill | Supports |
Cartridge case main body | 1 | 20% Honeycomb | No |
Case lid | 1 | 20% Honeycomb | Add a 5mm outer brim if printing face down for the inlay. Otherwise no. |
M3 countersunk washer | 4 | 30% Honeycomb | No |
20MM M3 spacer | 8 | 25% Honeycomb | No |
Top plate | 1 | 20% Honeycomb | Yes (if printing face down for the Carbon effect) otherwise no. |
Middle plate | 1 | 20% Honeycomb | No |
Bottom plate | 1 | 20% Honeycomb | No |
Please follow the assembly instructions PDF I have linked. Thanks again for your continued support as a designer, I hope some of you find this case useful :)
