The Candy Gat is back and better than ever! I promised a less-brick version and I think I delivered. Introducing the PZ11
THIS IS A CANDY SHOOTER AND NOT A WEAPON. IT IS MOSTLY HARMLESS BUT PLEASE DONT SHOOT IT IN YOUR MOUTH OR EYE.
DO NOT PRINT IN BLACK, GRAY, OR ANYOTHER COLOR WHICH MAY CAUSE THIS TO APPEAR TO BE A REAL FIREARM. DO NOT USE IN PUBLIC. ADULT USE ONLY. DO NOT GIVE TO CHILDREN. DO NOT DISPLAY IN PUBLIC.
This is a toy but intended to be used responsibly by adults.
ADDITIONAL PARTS This updated design does not need any screws or a pez dispenser but it does need some springs.

3D PRINTING SETTINGS I printed on a Bambu P1P on the .20mm Strength setting with very little issues Supports are required. I used tree supports.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Depending on your printer settings, you may need to spend some extra time ensuring the parts are deburred and free of any defects.

One more question with this, did you print all the pieces in the orientation their stl’s are saved in?
Yes - The orientation should be correct in the stl / 3mf files
Is there any chance you’d do a remix of this on commission if I sent you the the files for the different cosmetic look?
Do you mean so it looks like a totally different gun?
It’s got a fairly similar shape to the PZ11 for the way the magazine would line up with the barrel.

If you can take a look at that model and see if it’s feasible to keep the same firing mechanism and adapt that as a cosmetic remix. I’ve already purchased that model also and could send you the files if you think it’s not too complicated.
Hm. Unfortunately that is going to be a lot of work and I'm not sure I have the time for that right now. 🫤
Ok, no problem. Thank you for being upfront about it. I’m waiting on upgrading my pc currently but, after that I’ll take a shot at it. My current PC doesn’t have the capability to handle all the triangles in autodesk fusion. If you happen to find anytime to work on it just let me know and we can discuss what you’d need for commission on it. Thanks!
How far does it shoot?
Not super far to be honest. Maybe 20 feet? When I tried to make it shoot harder it would break the candy
