Here are a couple pictures of my latest build, it's a Diana Chaser with a 18" barrel. Currently set up with an Alliance Hobby fill adapter to run on a bottle. The stock is a slightly modified CP2 stock i found on https://www.printables.com/model/42072- ... e-stock-v3 .From my previous thread, I have a Safepac to add to this sometime in the future. I have not shot it yet and it's still a work in progress but this is how it will look - maybe some minor cosmetic details to be added. I much prefer this to the tactical AR style I did for my Bandit, so likely I'll make a similar stock for the Bandit in the near future. I may go funky and print a second stock in blue or charcoal grey.

I quite like how this turned out. For my second build I will try to modify the files to make a version with a bit more heft, bulkier in other words as this one is quite lightweight - maybe a good thing for hunting, but I'll be shooting bench tethered to a HPA tank most often.
My print was done in PETG except for the butt pad which I did in TPU. Notice the fine detail in the butt pad :lol:
I wanted to etch a Diana logo but couldn't figure out how to do that.

I also have a Chaser shoulder stock that came with this package, but no pistol grip. I intend to print a pistol grip with the bottom notch to fit the stock shoulder stock, sometime in the future. Thanks and shout out to YepYep who kindly took a bunch of pictures for me so I can get started on the 3D model of the grips for this. It's how I spend the cold wintry nights keeping busy and away from the fridge.

In the mail are a multishot magazine from Indeepal, and a trigger guard from Wes at AAF. This isn't a seller feedback thread, but I would like to mention these guys and give thanks because they go out of their way to help us out so often, maybe even all the time. :D :D Other retailers wouldn't send me those 2 small parts by letter mail. :evil:

That's an interesting rifle. What are the ballistics?

ATM, untested and disassembled, for obvious reasons.
It will be tuned to under 500 on standard 12g CO2 cart.

Looks good. Bet it's really light weight.

I see you got glue joints. Often that's necessary due to printer size constraints. But if you are smart about the printing orientation you can also optimize for strength. For example align the filament to the direction of maximum stress.

Freecad should allow you to design a buttpad, and you can etch any writings onto it.

Looks good... and I'm surprised to see that someone received their order from Alliance Hobby, they have a terrible reputation.

Yes, I think I mentioned it to you earlier, I have a 2240 in PCP, but still in pieces. Maybe I'll work on it next week.
