3d Printed 12 Gauge Magazine Loader

[alkali_feldspar]

I designed a 3d Printable 12 Gauge Magazine Loader. Makes loading mags much easier.

Here's a link to the STL file for those who want to make their own.

Looks great! I wish I had a mag-fed shotgun...

Good on you, for posting it to be shared - potentially many people will benefit from this, or use it as a starting point!

For those of us without access to a 3D printer any chance you would be willing to sell one? I would be interested in one.

I designed this from scratch, I'll make a couple tweaks for the next one but it works really well.

Nicely done!

I also made one for my beretta mags.

Did you have yours printed at the library?

Here are my 3d Printed gun things if you haven't seen them.... So much fun.... but I am looking for more ideas.

The top link is my AR7 stock and the bottom is my little badger.

Here's a random thought, you think you could print bullet sabots like the old Remington.223 bullets in a .308? If it melted it would make one heck of a mess.

X2 I would love to buy a shotgun mag loader. Or two !!

What kind of 3d printers are you guys running? I'm just starting to teach myself

I wouldn't trust the 3d printed plastic. It's not as strong as injection molded.

Printrbot simple metal. It's a great printer. I've got thousands of hours on mine without issue.

Wanhao Duplicator I3, add a few cheap mods to it and it becomes a reliable printer. My first one is still running with over 200 days of printing time in just under a year of ownership. Just bought a second one as a backup and to help speed up development, since everything I make takes 12 - 24 hours to complete.

Whatever Edmonton public library has!

Kinda what I thought, imagine how cool it would be though

Would be cool. You'd need to use some kind of thermoset plastic or phenolic resin probably.

There are 3d printed muzzleloader sabots, I don' t know if they work.

Thanks for interesting ideas. I'm decent at solidworks, but have 3D scanners, a Connex 500 polyjet and a Markforged mark 2 at work. Also commercial solidworks, Rhino, Catia, every AutoCAD program, design X, and a couple I can't remember. I need fun ideas to practice my CAD on.

I can technically make these mag loaders in nylon, reinforced with carbon fibre, fibreglass or Kevlar. I might have to price them out?

 

[unstableryan]

By the way, I print nylon at 273C I think, it's pretty tough. Some prints with carbon fibre are stiffer and stronger than aluminum. Can't be sure until I load in the stl on how much fibre I can put into the mag loader, but the mark2 is pretty good at fitting it in.
