Hi there!
Do you love the aesthetics of the classy Winchester Model 1887?Me too! Being featured in Terminator 2, CoD, FarCry, Battlefield and otherwidespread media, you can finally experience it live in your livingroom at minimal cost!
Works great as a Cosplay accessory too! The working mechanism isdefinately an eye catcher! But fear not, IT CANNOT SHOOT! May not bewise to carry it in public though, it looks quite realistic.
This project took a lot of time and effort. I did not have the real gunto disassemble or any 3D-models of some kind. I had to study the originalUS-patent files (available on Google Docs, fun fact) full of cross sections tofigure out how the mechanism works. Next up I had to turn my acquiredunderstanding into CAD models of the internals. While 3d-printing does nothave a lot of limitations, I love models which are easy to print with largeflat bottom surfaces, no need for supports, proper connection solutionswithout the need for glue, simply overall easy to print. Following my ownRules that come with the DeSteiner brand does not make the designprocess easier, but results in a much more satisfying printing process. Allthe dimensions of the gun in general were taken from a sideways image
and the info, that the gun is 70cm long. Combining both by counting andconverting pixels I acquired the basic outside dimensions. Surprisingly, thefirst prototype worked quite well. Some troubleshooting, tweaking andpolishing followed.
And here it is. The DeSteiner Model 1887, working like a charm. I hope youenjoy it as much as I do!
And you get all of it for free! If you value my work, I would highlyappreciate it if you sent me a tip! Don't forget to share your makes,too!
Yours, Tobias ~DeSteiner

print slowly! I have designed the tolerances when two parts are meetingto be rather tight to minimize wobble. I used speeds around 25mm/s. Whatyou save in print time, you may have to invest in additional afterwork ifthe parts dont fit together...
I printed all parts at 0,15mm layer height.
Some parts have the addition "brimmed" in their part name. That mostlymeans that I added a 1 layer high surface directly into the model either toimprove brim generation (no brim in useless spots), put additional firstlayer strength to critical part areas, remove the standard brim entirely, orcustom supports. There is always a non-brimmed version too, if you feellike you dont need it.
