So let’s get these mandatory phrases out of the way first.
These instructions and associated print templates are provided as is without any guarantees or warranty. The author makes no warranties of any kind,
either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, of title, or of noninfringement of
third-party rights. Use of the finished product by a user is at the user’s risk.
This was the only template I found online, I could grasp a good fraction of.
But to be brief, please use common sense when building and using the attached model.
Depending on your choice of material, the final make’s visual appearance as well as operation are very realistic and akin to a real revolver.
This makes it hard to differentiate between gun and replica up to close range.
To minimize the danger of possible confusion for an armed weapon, take all necessary safety precautions:

• Do NOT point the make at or handle it in presence of people unaware of its harmless nature
• Do NOT carry the replica in public
• Don NOT let children play with the model unattended
• Do NOT ask your local bank employees how they like your latest 3D print

And one last warning: This document has only been proofread by almighty Word autocorrect. So please overlook a non-native speaker’s attempt to swiftly put
together some semiprofessional instructions for his very own work.

 I. Part Overview
The following table contains all parts that need to be 3D printed and are published alongside this very document.
For each part the required count as well as proven recommendations for the major print settings and the material are listed. The last two columns give a rough
estimate of the time it will take to print each part and how much the filament will cost – a reference to help you with planning your make.
Generally, all parts were exported from Autodesk Fusion360 on high preset and are already oriented in a way to be printed with optimal results in respect to
distribution of mechanical stress and optical appearance. Should you plan on rotating any of the parts in your slicing software due to personal preference,
please keep in mind the inherent anisotropy of 3D printing. Printing in wrong orientation might lead to material failure and breakage.
