No Pipes Cryptid: Sledgefire Pump-action Conversion

What would be the Achilles Heel of a Sledgefire? The long reload cycle perhaps. And to remedy this, in designing this monstrosity I have sacrificed everything: simplicity, optimal print orientations, even common sense. Still in terms of nerf “shotguns” this cross between a magstrike and a folding chair has much to offer. This front-end replacement completely reconfigures the sledgefire into a pump action shotgun, capable of using clips of varying capacity and ammo type: classic triple shot, mega, and rival. Despite it’s freakish looks the folding lever pump mechanism can - with reinforced internals - still prime heavy spring loads; with the max load I’ve tested (read: max I was able to fit inside the sledgefire) being 17 coils of pro-26. This mod isn’t for everyone, but I’m sure at least some of you will find a use for it.

All Clip Variants Available: https://www.printables.com/model/479911-clip-variants-for-the-cryptid-a-pump-action-clip-f 

Hardware List

• ONE (1): ~30cm of 3mm bungee cord
• ONE (1): 3mm thick one side adhesive foam pad cut into a 42mm diameter circle with a 20mm hole cut into it.
• ONE (1): 2mm x 20mm Metal Pin (I used a cut down nail, you could even use cut down paperclip)
• ONE (1): Spring small and short enough to fit into the 6.8mm diameter hole of the clip retainer notch. I used a piece of 7/32 Inch diameter spring cut to about 1.5 CM
• TWO (2): 10-32x1 Inch Flat Socket Head Machine Screws (available at Home Depot)
• FOUR (4): 8-32x3/4 Inch Flat Socket Head Machine Screws (available at Home Depot)
• ONE (1): M6 x 20mm Grub Screw (I had to find this on amazon)[Or an M3x16mm socket head screw if you use the M3 screw Wishbone found here: https://www.printables.com/model/940286-m3-screw-wishbone-for-the-cryptid-sledgefire-conve ] 
• THIRTEEN (13): M2.6 x 16mm Pan Head Screws (I got them from an assorted pack on amazon)
• TWO (2): M2.6 x 10mm Pan Head Screws (Can be self tapping or not)
• SIX (6): M2.6 x 8mm Pan Head Screws (Can be self tapping or not)
• PLA safe thread lock or super glue for the M6 grub screw

[OPTIONAL for reinforcing the sledgefire with a spring upgrade]

• One (1) X 2.5 x 32mm Metal Pin (Used to reinforce the sledgefire’s plunger rod hinge. Again, I used a cut down nail)
• One (1) Upgrade spring of your choice, I used 14 coils of pro 26 spring but that was pushing it to it’s maximum. So, I would recommend less.
• Glue: preferably plastic welder but any sufficiently strong glue will suffice. This will only be used to glue in the 2.5mm x 32mm pin to reinforce the sledgefire.

Printing

For Printing the parts I went with 3 walls 20% infill for most of them, all with support. The clipwell needs a lot of support so make sure that your support has no outer walls and is as easy to remove as possible. The only things not at those settings were: the Wishbone as it should be a bit stronger I printed it at 3 walls 30% infill, and the Retainer Notch parts I printed them at 2 walls 20% infill.

ASSEMBLY

After you have printed all the parts and gotten all the hardware you need you can follow along to the assembly guide (please forgive any spelling mistakes)
