Mag Release Mod for Rival Caliburn U - Simplified

Last crawled date: 4 years, 4 months ago

NOTE: This thing contains only the modified mag release lever and magazine back piece. You will need to download the original Rival Caliburn U - Simplified by Captain Slug to get all the parts. You will also need a number of screws and other metal parts to complete this blaster. Captain Slug kindly sells kits with just the non-printable parts on his Etsy site!
I had a couple issues with the original design. The two posts that hold the spring that holds down the "RTooth4" are a little thin. I found one of mine was broken when I finished printing all the parts for this blaster and finally took the ROGMagBack out of the box I was keeping all the parts in. Maybe I didn't do a good job printing the original part, but I beefed up the posts and they seem much stronger now.
The other issue I ran into is the mag release (ROGmr2) didn't seem to hold my magazines in at all. I lowered the position of the tab that holds the magazine in, and it works great now.
I changed the position of the hole in ROGMagBack for the pin that goes through the mag release. If you already have a Rival Caliburn U, and just want the new mag release without reprinting ROGMagBack and completely disassembling your blaster you could just drill a new hole. Look at the included ROGMagBack_ModV2 file for the new location.
I printed the parts with 1.5mm 4 layer walls, 40% cubic infill, 0.2mm layer height, and I used eSun PLA+ Black. I just finished reassembling my blaster this morning and the new mag release works great.
Thank you Captain Slug for the awesome blaster!! He should really enable tips on his Thingiverse though, because I would love to give him more money! ;-) Oh! Strike that, tips are enabled now. Tip sent!
Last note, just to clarify what is different from the original:
ROGMagBack_ModV2.stl replaces ROGmagback.stl
ROGMagRelease_ModV1.stl replaces ROGmr2.stl
