Description
A joke that I've spent too much time on: One of my airsoft teammates loves watching the hottest trends in the real “tacticool” shooting and considering the choice of a muzzle device, often kept repeating, that the best type ever is the “Flaming pig” - so I printed one :D
It also adds extra joke layer with the fact that over-upgraded guns are commonly called a “pig-gun” (Prasokvér) in my native tongue's airsoft slang, and last but not least, my own “calorie positive” (I believe that's the current correct term for morbidly obese people?) body type.
Also, I could't resist putting one on my M60, which is also known by a famous pork nickname.
It's a PrusaSlicer butchery (pun intended) using so much positive and negative bodies that even the great 2.6 export feature can't make standalone body of it: Open only in Prusaslicer, won't work in other SW!
It uses a real 3D scanned pig head from Thingiverse (link listed below), but i added some spheres into the eye sockets to make it more hilarious: if you turn these into “negative volume”, you can add eyes of different material for more fun: Actual “tracer/light up/glow in the dark” airsoft BBs work great.
The pig's ears are quite fragile and offer wondrous ability to hook into gear, brush, or basically anything it encounters, effectively lowering your gun's handling stat considerably. That's why my final version is from rubbery TPU and with additional reinforcement.
