School Project Help - Making a Staff - 3D printing the chassis

Hey guys!

(First off, feel free to move this thread if it's in the wrong spot)

So I've been looking into building a staff for quiet a while now. I've accumulated quiet the parts list, found below, and I have an interesting opportunity. I'm taking a 3D printing class that's new to my college and we will be working on this project the whole semester. My idea for the project is to design and print the chassis. After running the idea past my teacher, he suggested that I print the whole thing and test out the fitting of the chassis. This is where I need help. I need specific dimensions of the ID (inner diameter) and OD (outer diameter) of the main body and other features on each part. That way I can accurate model the chassis that'd be good to go when I'm able to order the parts.

So, if you can help me that'd be great. I don't know if the people who run the actual store are super active on the forum, so ANY and ALL help is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks guys!

If I end up not being able to do this, I'll probably end up designing Grenade Face's (of the Knights of Ren) helmet. :)

Welcome to the forums.
I believe the main part will have an inner diameter of 1.25 inches. The choke will be much narrower and not suited for a chassis. most of the parts in the store will list their dimensions. The only thing not listed is the threading which is proprietary. some pieces like the grenade grip will have a smaller ID (due to the deeper grooves). There is a web site that has a bunch of 3d printed chassis but I'm not going to link it, so you can't cheat

good luck in class and keep us posted.

Haha. Yes. I'm aware of people who have 3D printed a lot of their own chassis, that's also how I got the idea to do it myself. :)

The reason why I ask for the specific dimension is because my teacher asked me to get them prior to starting the designing process. So to appease his needs, here I am. lol

That thread lists ID and OD for the majority of MHS parts.

Thank you so much for that source! Any idea on where I can get the dimensions on the other pieces?

You should be able to find them on their associated product page.
