Pocket cartridge holder - 3D printed

[takbok]

I've been designing some interesting parts lately including Steyr SSG69 bottom metal and a belt mounted magazine holder that I will hopefully share with you soon. I knocked up this simple little cartridge holder to piggy back on a 3D printing order. I might add belt loops in future if anybody is interested. I'll add some pictures when I receive the Nylon part next week.

If anybody wants something like this for their different cartridges then let me know. Any other design ideas will be considered if there's going to be a reasonable demand for them. The bigger the part the more it's going to cost, but this would probably come in at £28 posted to give you an idea (Nylon with semi-gloss black finish).

Looks good Rory

Second that.....so long as it is a nominal size on tolerance

How you get tge bullets in and out the holders, a flip up lid like MTM boxes?

The cartridges will protrude from the top - I just kept it simple so that you can push them in and pull them out easily. A bit of friction from the internal o-rings will hold them in.

Getting tempted, stil 28 quid for .338

All depends on size. Maybe £15 for .223, £20 for 6.5 Needmore etc etc

I would take a 243 if possible. Jon

Thanks, will definitely do a .243 holder. I'll see what the fit is like when I get my 270 holder next week and then I can make mods if required and do the designs for a few different cartridges.

Definitely interested in this - .243/.308

Never seen such a good idea before so get on selling them to the Americans too.

 

[takbok]

Thanks all.

Any interest in additional belt loops for an extra charge?

Before anyone brings it up I'll sort out trade membership before selling anything.

Up for .22hornet, .222,.243, and .270

Not really into hanging cartridge holders off belts - prefer to carry them in a pocket or roe sack, so the less bulky the better.

Seems very expensive for a bit of plastic. Stalking tax for you I guess.....

tad harsh, can you make them for less?

A shame to focus on price, rather than the bespoke nature of the design and the willingness to offer them to SD members.

If churned out by the million doubtless they would be considerably cheaper, but small-scale production is - by its very nature - expensive. Takbok is kindly getting these made by adding them on to a 3D printing order. To me that kind of initiative should be encouraged and applauded.

 

[takbok]

I will confirm prices before I sell them and try to make them as compact as possible for best value. They'll be made on state of the art machines costing around £250k each I'm told. I'd rather produce a quality item that is visually appealing, feels good and is fit for purpose rather than getting them made with cheaper and less pretty 3d printing methods out of brittle materials.

Yes, I'd like to make a small profit on these for my time and effort. I'll be placing a separate order in a couple of weeks time based on the level of interest and different cartridges etc.

There is no shame in that.

Nice work, by the way: a lovely-looking product.

Kind regards,
