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!
 
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.

I wouldn't trust the 3d printed plastic. It's not as strong as injection molded.
 
What kind of 3d printers are you guys running? I'm just starting to teach myself

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.
 
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?
 
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.
