henselmonster Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Finally moving forward with the last thing holding me back from pursuing SWAT, my DTL19 Bapty! I live in an apartment and I don't really have a place I could cut and grind a buttstock out of wood, so I figured I would try to model it. I am not that experienced in modeling but I tried my best! I designed this to fit my other DLT19 blaster files by TDK Props (you can order their files from their Facebook page). Special thanks to @bigwam for the references and measurements If you want to print your own, I am sharing the files with whoever wants them. You can download it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3482953 One day I do want to make one out of wood, but I am loving how lightweight this is. It is just about 2lbs for the whole blaster, so super convenient for long troops and parades. Its not perfect, but with some TLC with filler primer and Bondo I think I can get this into shape. Its a WIP, I will for sure update along the way! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcalus Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Great idea!!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henselmonster Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Filling and sanding. Rise and repeat. I might leave some of the divots and print pattern in the back to simulate wood a little bit. I’ll see how it looks after the first coat of primer.

jcalus Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 3d seems like more work than wood at times! Lol... looking good brother. Will you be adding a screw to make a removable charging handle?Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The changing handle is a friction fit 5/8" dowel rod. I am printing the rest of the blaster hardware right now, my goal is to have this be removable and swappable with a standard DLT19 receiver eventually. Then I can switch back and forth when I want!

jcalus Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 That’s a really cool idea! Watching with great interest.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henselmonster Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 More updates, barrel is complete, also got the bipod to be functional. In order to prevent the bipod from falling accidentally while trooping I installed some strong magnets to hold it up. Just need to wrap up the last round of sanding then add some primer to the stock and get painting. Just printed the retention screws for the bipod hub and I have my t-tracks, I just need to cut them to size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCKo Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Geez, that is cool! I’m not that much for 3D printed stuff but that’s clearly gorgeous work! Well done, John, well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Looks great! Are barrel and bipod already painted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are, with some silver dry brushing, but I still want to add some more brown-red wash over it and add some more weathering 1 hour ago, RoCKo said: Geez, that is cool!

I swear I spend more time working on 3D printed project than regular kits, resin or wood props I have built. So much work to get it to look right.

henselmonster Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Almost there! Just a few more parts to add, then T-tracks and I'm calling it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henselmonster Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Just realized I never posted the completed blaster! I will need to get photos asap, I've used it in a few troops, love how light weight it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksjager Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Nice work, looking really good. As you said it’s a great option for people that don’t have the space or time to do the wood work. I also like the idea of being able to swap out the bapty parts for the regular parts on the fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn4k3 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 This is amazing, but the files are just the handle, is not a complaint, but, where do I find the rest?Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk I purchased the files for the front end from TKD Props on facebook. I created my stock to matchup with their files.
