Printing The Cylinder Took 3 Attempts - First Print Came Loose From The Print Bed; Second Print I Forgot

Printing the cylinder took 3 attempts - first print came loose from the print bed; second print I forgot that you need panel gaps if you want details to be visible from a distanct.

Luckily I modelled it in Fusion360 so I could tweak individual settings without too much difficulty

Drilled a shallow hole in the rear half to hold the spindle

Starting to look like a revolver now

Meching up some Dinos

Carving the grooves into the foam with a rotary tool was... difficult. Hopefully it won't look too bad when it's painted

The foam work is almost finished - time for the 3D printed bits

Time to make the grip

The chequered texture was made by cutting part-way through with a knife then heating with a heat gun to open up the cuts

First ever experiment with makins something out of EVA foam! It's exciting...
