Miniature of a Colt SAA Revolver (Storekeeper or Sheriff model) with classic octagon barrel.
Prints as 6 different parts that are press-fit together. Simplified model: The hammer is fixed and no loading gate. Trigger moves but does nothing. Cylinder is free spinning and fidget friendly. Alternatives with or without loop for attaching to lanyard or key-chain. Printing Tips Model is optimized for easy printing without supports. Bed adhesion can be a challenge given how small the parts are. I printed without any brim but had to clean the bed with dish soap first. Models are already in recommended print orientation. Print the parts in different colors for a more interesting look. 0.15mm layer height recommended. Assembly Insert the trigger from inside the frame. It can be a bit tight, just press it in all the way. The “frame insert” part comes next. Get it in and press firmly in place. Cylinder and base pin: align and press in the pin. Grip side covers: snip apart and press in place. Tags
