A friend brought this old single shot (with sentimental value) to see if I could 3d print a new stock for it.
The original stock had a n issue while hunting, not sure if it was across his lap on the ATV or it was a slip and fall, but nevertheless it broke.

Unfortunately the damage was too severe to be repaired, and I had printed a stock for another 12ga, so He asked if I could do it again.


Anyway, to the point, I wanted to showcase some modern 3d printing DIY repairs to give an old gun new life.

Now, it is a lot of work, and probably took me five or six hours to design, plus 30+ hours of printing of the final product.... and several prototype bits to get the geometry right...

But trying a couple new techniques, and having some bourbon... it's no more a time waste than bingeing some netflix.

Just my opinion, as a self taught hobbyist.
Some basic CAD knowledge and a 3d printer should be in every home.

This Is very interesting. I have considered buying a 3D printer a few times now because of how useful they can be. Especially as someone who has completed a few cad courses.

Can I ask what printer you are using ? and what media ? LOP spacers are another item that this would be perfect for.

I am using a Creality CR-10S Pro V2

Well three of them actually.... but that is another story.

There are much better machines, but as a hobbyist it is better to tinker and do more trial and error on an affordable machine.

I will upgrade to a more expensive higher quality machine eventually. But by then I will have learned a lot more.

I use solidworks to model, but there are other cad programs that offer more than enough features to do what most people need.

And Cura to slice my model into layers.

The material I use is mostly tough PLA, but have also used ABS, PETG, TPU, and a couple others.

But PLA is enough for most things.
