LARGE BULLET CASE.

IF YOU COLLECT THING, PLEASE LIKE!

I designed this oversize bullet case for a friend, he likes drinking and shooting.

The bullet was built to hold a wild turkey 700ml bottle. it can fit any bottle similar in size (see Photo) even wine bottles.

I separated the threads from the model so they can be printed by themselves and not as a part of the larger model (in case things don't work out!)

I used epoxy glue to adhere the pieces together. I also inserted pins in the body to align the tapered bit to the body (see photo).

I then primed and spray painted the parts to make it resemble a bullet.

It does not matter what colour you print in; the primer and paint will hide it.

If the threads are tight, A bit of filing/sanding is recommended.

I had to do a bit of filing/sanding to the tip thread/taper thread to get it to go in smoothly.

How I Designed This

how it was designed.

Using Fusion 360,

created sketch, then using extrude and loft i created a part to resemble a bullet.

Bullet would not fit on my print bed so i had to cut the body at the bottom of the taper and create pin holes for alignment when sticking the parts together

I then used thread and coil to create the threads to attach the bullet together.
