5mm post Gatling pistols

[Tilarta]

Does anyone know if a gatling pistol accessory exists with a 5mm post?

I'm looking to give this as a weapon to some of my Transformer toys.

Construct-bots had something like that but it didn't have a pistol handle.

[Tilarta]

Is it still possible to obtain those accessories?
Or find the toys that come with them?

I've never really noticed the Constructobot line much.

[Thurmus]

Do you have any pictures or figures that had one?

[SMHFConvoy]

here's a link they're plugged into his wrists, you could mod them to have pistol handles

Oh. I thought you meant something more like this.

In the end, it was just as a lot simpler to design and 3D print my own Gatling pistols:

That looks great!

If designing and 3D printing yourself gattling guns is 'simpler' then you have some serious talent. You should consider uploading your design to shapeways,as its a cool looking set you've made and I am sure others would buy it. Incidentally if you feel like printing a spare and selling it, send me a pm.

I'm not that great at 3D designing and printing, but I've got enough talent to make some basic items.
I haven't tried some of my advanced concepts yet because I'm still working on some Dinobot swords which are complex to refine.
Maybe after the second print run/trial of those swords is done, I'll look into making some of my more advanced concepts.

Mostly the problem is relating it to a real world item, for example, I made a simple item to fix a design flaw in Siege Sixgun and even though I'd measured every angle and dimension precisely, the item ended up being a failed print because it was like 1-2 mm smaller then it should have been and therefore, dropped out of the sockets because the fit wasn't tight.

Still wondering if there's a way to scan a real world item to model a physical object inside/around it.
The one time I tried it as an experiment using someone's homemade 3D laser scanner, the resulting file was just a incomprehensible blob.
Not exactly what I expected when I was scanning a G1 Sixgun arm.

If anyone wants these weapons, then they just have to buy a set from Shapeways:
Gatling Pistols Dual Set

It's that simple.

For the record, I'm not making a great deal of profit on this, 2$ USD is my overhead.
I'm more interested in offering cheap designs that everyone can have for a reasonable price then making a professional profit from it.
So most of the money goes to Shapeways for the printing costs.
