WIP: AR + vz61 Skorpion hybrid - "The SkARpion" - part 1

Work in progress for a 3d printable VZ-61 that uses an AR15 FCG and is printed in small sections.  "SkARpion?"  Pretty terrible name, I know.  This design is based on FreeMenDontAsk's design which you can find on DefCad.  It used to be available on GrabCad but I guess it got deleted by moderators.

Initial partitioning.


I personally hate 20+ hour long prints and want to print the pieces in smaller, easier to manage sections.  This way I can tune the receiver to my printer/filament and not have to re-print the entire thing if something is screwy.  Also people with small print beds would hopefully appreciate this.

The front and back pieces should not require any supports.  The middle one will probably need support on the bottom.  The slightly clear green wall is one of the connector pieces that will have holes that will screw all the way through to the other side of the receiver.

Not really high on my list of priorities, but I wanted to show a proof of concept.

Progress report: Magazine walls done.  Walls should not need supports.
