About this model

This is NOT an other lazy rip-off of the beautiful Colt Walker from GrabCAD by Steen Winther! I redesigned the revolver entirely from scratch based on historical patent drawings and handwritten manufacturing instructions specifically with 3D printing in mind. The original design as well as its remixes are NOT or at best PARTIALLY functional. This is due to some major design errors, missing tolerances & intersecting parts. Trust me, I tried and was massively let down. My version is guaranteed to work like the real thing straight off the printing bed with minimum post-processing! See teaser video for proof. The whole thing is 100% 3D printable - no screws, no nuts, no coil springs. Only printed pushpins and leafsprings. You may have to experiment with materials a bit but even most PLA will work fine. The whole thing comes with printing recommendations and detailed instructions
