2. Objective
To complete a reversed engineered replica of the
Tippmann A5 paintball gun.
Tools used
Inventor
Dial Calipers
Standard Tools
Lots of time!
3. How & Why
Tools and basic knowledge of the gun were used to
disassemble the gun. Then Dial calipers were used to
take measurements.
Measurements transferred to Inventor and created
into a solid.
Paintball is a big hobby and the gun seemed like a
worthy & challenging project.
8. Schedule
Estimated Time
My estimated time in my project proposal was a mere 31
hours, which was mainly the class periods with a little time
added for out of class work
Actual Time
My actual time ended up being about double that, with much
more time spent out side of class measuring, drawing, and
assembling the project. I ended up figuring around 63 hours
spent on it. With more than half the time spent outside of class
working in open labs.
9. Summary
Learned A lot!
More about assemblies, modeling.
Revolve command, coil, angled constraints.
