This is my Blitz Bowgun secret money box including the dual blades stand.
The weapon in the game is massive, I scaled this down to 622mm long so it is a practical size for a money box.
I designed this to be printed on a small form factor printer. All parts were printed on my Lulzbot mini 152x152x158 build area!!
Settings were 0.25mm layer height, 15% infill, 3 outer layers and 4 top/bottom layers. Rigid.Ink PLA was my material of choice.
I used Simplify3D for the slicer and only 3 parts needed support. These are marked (support) at the end of the file name.
All part files are orientated as I printed them, and the quantity needed is in the file name. See the exploded diagram and BOM as well.
The parts are push together, A small drop of glue is used to secure the handle. Tight tolerance fit holds the rest together.
You can see a video of the money going in here.

This was a challenging project that was really enjoyable. The first time in 20 years I have painted a model, first time using an airbrush too.
All the parts were drawn in SolidWorks I then exported the limbs and butt into Meshmixer to tweak the surfaces for a more organic look.
65 parts to the Bowgun & Stand.
Dummy mag and bullets extra.
Also included a woodgrain stencil to help painting!
