Custom 3d Printed Gear

[Ed Compton]

If I was to start printing custom dope cards, reloading trays, etc. and selling them on Etsy, are there people who would be interested in buying them? I figure you could get me a picture of your paper dope card and I could put it into a 3d card around 1mm thick. There is technology that allows you to do multi-color prints, so I would do the text in one color and the rest in another. Would use a tough material like ABS or maybe PETG. I’d be glad to hear your thoughts.

I don't have a use for a 3D printed dope card. I just print them on my computer and laminate if I'm looking for something permanent (eg quick reference for hunting), otherwise for matches I use a card I can write on.

Dope card holder would be another story. Buddy had printed us some that snap onto an arca rail. dope card on one side and 3 extra rounds on the chamber side.

But yeah, I might be interested in some 3D printed stuff

That’s a good idea. That’s what I’d be looking to do, get in touch with someone, take their request, model and print it, and sell it to them some way. I will say that the text on my cards would be as thick or half as thick as the card (depending on if it was 2 sided), making it highly scratch-resistant and durable. Those plastics I mentioned are also very heat and water resistant, but to each his own

Not sure what you're printing with, but if you haven't yet, take a look at the htpet+ from fusion filaments. Prints like PLA, tougher than abs. It's killer for exactly that kind of stuff.

I have an open design based on Spuhr mounting system for removable DOPE holder using magnets.

I print mine in Fusrock ABS-GF25.

I use 3D printed bullet feeders for all calibers. Here's one I just did for 9mm. I could have used the electric motor version but just opted for the
manual version. Found it on Thingiverse.
