Lichtknarre Wii Guncradle Beta - Need help! :D

[Fusselkroete]

Hello friends,

I am currently developing a guncradle for Lichtknarre. It's going quite well and is 98% finished. Unfortunately, I am not a professional in 3D printing. I'm wondering how I can get the 3D print to always have the same consistency for people. Also so that you can send the STL files to a third party and they come back perfect.

Every 3D printer has differences and since this 3D printing needs to be accurate to the millimeter, I have the following ideas:

- Provide a test print that can then be re-measured to determine the exact scaling that needs to be applied to all parts that will be printed.
- Make sure the dimensions of the 3D print are perfect if the builder follows this guide: https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html . I bet this could also help the guncradle come out perfect for 3D printing companies as well.

If you have any more ideas let me know.

Since I don't have much time at the moment, it would be great if someone would like to finish the project with me and visit me in the Discord. The person should of course have already used the calibrations guide on their 3D printer.

There are currently still comments and todos in the article, so don't be surprised. These are mostly marked in red. Of course, it is also possible that some of the article will be changed. Or some things are not right.

Here is a small work in progress video of the guncradle:

I don't want to publish the download here in public yet, because then unqualified people might print it and get frustrated.

The Guncradle has already been printed by several people. Unfortunately, there hasn't been an expert who has gone through the calibration guide and is really familiar with 3D printers to ensure consistent quality for the user out there. We need a procedure that guarantees this.

Thanks in advance for help 🙂

I had the pleasure of helping with this project by doing test prints.  Indeed, it is very close to completion.  Since certain mounting pieces are very small and detailed, it required re-prints on my side even though fussell's prints were fine. The final touch is to make sure the print will work for everyone and help is needed from folks to ensure it scales accurately for any 3D printer.

I did a pair of golden guns and have had a lot of fun with them.  The side button reload is an excellent feature.
