Halo Infinite Bandit Rifle model kit!

Scale : 1:1

Raw 3d prints, untouched.
Model kit.

Features a simulated working spring trigger, slide, and drop magazine. You can also assemble it as a static replica and just glue everything together. If you want to use the trigger slide and magazine, you can read below for materials you will need. (Springs, magnets, rods). I highly recommend you get the wooden dowels, to give it better support and to make assembly easier.

The holographic scope can also be swapped with typical iron sights. 

Materials needed for movable parts:

1. Spring Kit: https://amzn.to/4bcu708
- Uses the 9/32” x 2-13/16” expansion spring for the slide
- Uses the 9/32” x ¾” compression springs for the trigger
 
2. 2mm diameter metal rods: https://amzn.to/3HxS985
- Used to pin the spring in place at 1 end
5mm diameter metal rod: https://amzn.to/4bgpTVa
- Used to strengthen the pull
 
3. 10 x 3mm magnets: https://amzn.to/3HHmktD
- Uses 4 to hold the magazine in place
 
4. Uses a ½” diameter wooden dowel down the center
- Available at most large grocery/craft stores
- 85cm length and 80cm length
 
 
Dry fit before you assemble the slide. If you glue everything together before the slide is assembled it will be considerably more difficult to put together.

Made from PLA Filament, plastic made from corn-starch or sugar cane. It is 100% biodegradable, and non-toxic. 3D printed products made with PLA are durable, strong, and make useful items that hold up to real life.

I’ve tried to remove all the printing supports, but it’s possible I missed one.

This is not a completed model. It’s a model kit and comes in pieces.  

There are no instructions, but the pieces will only fit together one way, and it’s pretty intuitive. Just be careful you don’t glue it together in the wrong order and find you’re unable to fit the last piece in. Plan it out ahead of time.

PLA models are not the same as resin models. PLA can look just as well on the finished product though. But to achieve the best results requires sanding, crack filling, and a great paint job.

Modelling:

The perfectionist: they will clip, file, and sand every piece. Then glue each piece together filling any gaps with gap fill. Then prime and paint and varnish.

The semi perfectionist: they will file and sand most pieces. Then glue and fill the large gaps. Then prime and paint and varnish.

The painter: they will glue the model together, and fill the large gaps. Then prime and paint and varnish.
