ANNOUNCEMENT!!The files for this model have been removed from this page, from now on the files can downloaded for free from www.MyMiniFactory.com. This page will be left for legacy purposes and I will still answer questions if posted.From now on, all my future projects will feature exclusively on www.MyMiniFactory.com. My profile page is https://www.myminifactory.com/users/lilykill.Sorry for any inconvenience. Here is a functional printable assembly of the iconic Thompson sub-machine gun. I have modelled it from machine drawings and then modified part dimensions and certain assembly tolerances so that is printable. The stock, barrel and receiver all break down into two parts which that fit together before assembly so that it can be printed on a smaller bed size. Currently, I have only posted the full assembly versions as STL's as I want to print the assembly myself before I release the files so that I know that every assembly is going to be successful so nobody is put off printing it. My end goal is to correctly size springs for the recoil and trigger mechanisms so it can be cocked and fired (obviously minus real bullets). You will also be able to add and remove the stock, have the choice of a solid or ribbed barrel, load a 20 round mag or 50 round drum and the choice of a standard sight or sight with compensator. Some of these variations can be seen in the renders.For more of my replica weapons, see my collection - https://www.thingiverse.com/lilykill/collections/replica-weapons Follow me on twitter @ https://twitter.com/lilykill1, and instagram @ https://instagram.com/lilykill1/ and facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/Lilykill-253119598353137/ where you can stay up-to-date on my current projects and releases.Update - 28/09/15 STL's and SW 2012 part file uploaded.
