Phil
I was going to do ammo container (shortened) according to your diagram but you did not specify the length of the container. I was going to the single and I guess if you wanted a double you could glue two singles on top of each other. What do you think?

I reckon 50mm for the shortened container, and yes I can make up multiples of to get the different sizes for the various turret stowage areas. 8)
Do you reckon you could produce a shortened charge bag container from this photo, those holes would be around 120mm? Shortened to 50mm again or I won't get it to fit on the turret basket?

Just did this:

50 mm long. Not sure about the covers. They seem to be hinged transparent covers.

Phil, received the line drawing of the breach. As I have never seen a breach in real life I am trying to make sense of it. Hopefully I will eventually get there. Regarding the front face of the breach, how do you intend to fix it to the Armortek barrel?

I'll send you some photos of the real thing! Boy it's been a busy day, big thank you to Vince, his cad work is just great. I'm tweaking the settings on this 3d printer and it's printing better and better, you have to dive right in and change the settings until it's producing a quality product.

OK. That's great. Surprised the filament crossed that gap without support.
Thanks Stephen. I can imagine it better now. Never seen one in real life so was a bit not sure about how to go about it.

Vince

p.s. Must be running out of filament by now. :D

The pace of these CAD drawings and subsequent printing is quite breath taking. As are the results.
Great work guys.
