Update: When I found tubes with thinner wall thickness in the hardware store, I noticed how heavy the previous tubes were. So I put together the pipe ends from the previous pipes and the middle part from the new pipes. So now the tubes look heavy, but they are light. When I glued the magazine...

I don't know how heavy it will be, unfortunately I don't have a scale in the workshop. Maybe 4-5kg but that's just a guess. Luckily I found some lighter PVC tubes in the local hardware store.

Update: Long time since last update, but now. All parts are printed (except some small and less important ones). Currently I'm smoothening all the surfaces. (I'm still working on it, even if I took long breaks)

Thanks. I'm totally fine with 63mm, already bought, already printed (pictures will come soon).

Like marscereature correctly quoted, I use PVC Pipes. One Thing has indeed changed: There are no 60mm Pipes, so I use that 63mm pipes (I guess 2,5inch) .

Update: Sorry I forgot to post updates in the last time, but now here is one. In the past I used my 3D-Pen to weld the Edges between Parts. But I just realized it is much easier using 'plastic putty from Presto'. To smoothen the surface I used 'XTC-3D from Smooth-On' (some sort of Epoxy)...

UUUUU SWEEEEEET. Looks very similar to mine, you can watch it also in the forum here. you can also download my models if you whant to compare. which tube diameter did you use? good luck with further Prints :) ComanderXXY

Update: Finished printing the Cover. Next steps: design and print the axis to connect the Cover. Continue with the Handle.

Update: I have finished 3D-printing the Case. Additionally, my new 3D-Pen has arrived today. I really like how it can merge the edges. Next steps: finish printing the Cover (should be finished soon).

Masky there were some discussions about Fire protection. Can you recommend a cheap 3D-Pen? Are there any important differences for my use case?

Update: long time since last update again... Got some issues with my landlord in refer to my 3D-Printer, but thats fixed now. I have finished the bottom part of the Case and glued it all together. Next steps: continue printing the upper part of the Case cutting the Cover with my CAD-program...

Update: long time since last update... several reasons, mainly because of some issues with my 3D.Printer (Creality cr-10). It's not too much in this update, just a view new printed parts of the lower half of the Case.

Update: I've printed abought half of the lower half of the Case.

That’s what I'm planning, I designed the Tube to be a 60mm PVC tube.

I'm printing it of course in real size (1,2m tube length). Also edited my first post to specify that. I think Cura is just fine. It has all I want except honeycomb infill, but that takes way more time than it is worth it anyway. Soon I'll post some photos and keep you updated.
