Howdy fellow fetts,

I have started my EE3 build, thanks to jedicharly for his excellent 3d renders, I had to make a lot of alterations to enable me to build the EE3 and obviously print it,
So I have begun to split and print the pieces these have come out rather well although Im up to around 20 pieces at the mo!!!!


So the main trigger mech and chamber are now printed.


Im just printing the stock as I type will update later

Thanks Syper

Ok got the inner barrel printed in two pieces, I also made another inner for that so they line up for attaching.


Ive now got the Stock printed in 3 pieces, so gonna attach and start to fill and sand and make that baby look like wood!, well try

Yeah I see what you mean , however its a minor detail I suppose I could sand it to get the more curved shape! cheers for the info

I think in the region of $275 plus postage, it uses a lot of materials and very time consuming, also i thinks it about 20 odd pieces on the plus side its only the large pieces that need attaching with adhesive the rest screws together like the real thing, its all solid no hollow pieces so gives a good trooping weight

Hey amigos!,

Ok got a couple of bit printed on high res so sanded to uber smooth, then primed, silver base, black, then weathered, trying to achieve the look in the gallery but very difficult!
so that piece is complete just needs a lacquer then on to the next

Damn, I'd love to see your ESB EE3! Hell, if it comes out just as good I might have to bite the bullet and get both the EE3 and Sidearm from you all the way across the pound!
