DSM from Modern Warfare 2 (2009)

General Shepherd : “Do you have the DSM?”

Ghost : "We got it, sir!"

General Shepherd : “Good, that's one less loose end.”

This is my design for the DSM module from the original Modern Warfare 2 (2009).

This is being used in conjunction with a Gary ‘Roach’ Sanderson cosplay.

The design is meant to be as faithful to the original as possible, while also being appropriate for FDM printing.

For one DSM module, you will need the following printed parts:

• DSM Main Body 1 x1
• DSM Main Body 2 x1
• DSM Corner Bumper Right x4 - BLACK TPU
• DSM Corner Bumper Left x4 - BLACK TPU
• Antenna 1 x1
• Antenna 2 x1
• Joining Pin x5

Hardware:

• M5 x 6mm Screw x8 (Dome head)
• Standard 5mm Diameter Red LED
• Superglue or your adhesive of choice

There is a hole for the red LED which can be glued in place, it does not need to be powered but that is up to you - this MUST be inserted BEFORE gluing the two halves together. 

There are eight holes for M5 screws around the outer faces of the DSM - in the original game model there are screws around these parts - this is for some added realism. If you can't source M5 x 6 you can always just drill into the holes with a 5mm drill bit; this will go into infill but it shouldn't matter much, allowing for longer screws.

Some of the parts will require support on the build plate only, but overall the parts are as optimised as possible to print without much support.

I printed these parts in white and then primed and painted them based on the reference pictures from the game. If you have an MMU or AMS, you can always buy dark army green (body), light green (screen) and tan (top & bottom faces) materials and simply print the parts in the colours straight away, however I didn't want to order whole reels of material just for that.

Enjoy printing!
