Air rifle pellet Extractor & Storage Tool - 4.5mm

This innovative 2-in-1 tool combines convenient pellet storage with an efficient extraction mechanism for 4.5mm (.177) air rifle pellets. Perfect for target shooting and practice sessions.

Features:

  • Integrated storage container for 4.5mm pellets
  • Ergonomic extraction mechanism
  • Easy-to-use shaking feed system
  • Twist motion pellet elevator for smooth retrieval

How It Works:
Simply shake the tool to load pellets into the internal feed system. A twisting motion activates the elevation mechanism, presenting pellets for easy pickup. This design significantly reduces the time spent handling individual pellets and keeps your shooting session flowing smoothly.

Critical Print Quality Note:
Print quality calibration is essential for this model. Your printer must be capable of producing true circles - if circles appear as ellipses, the mechanism will not function correctly.Print Sequence:

  1. Start with slider.step- this component is required for the assembly of the main container
  2. Proceed with container.step with the following specifications:

Support Configuration:
The model features a critical overhang section that requires tree supports. This area is specifically designed to ensure smooth mechanical operation. Tree supports must be generated from the build plate only - enable this setting in your slicer (OrcaSlicer: "Support on build plate only").

Assembly Step:
When the print pauses at 7.5mm height, insert the slider component into the designated cutouts. The slider's protrusion ("nibble") should align with the marked assembly position. Resume printing after proper placement.

The layout component will be placed into the container, when the print is finished. The lid can be clipped onto the container to ensure a safe transport without spilling pellets

Remaining Components:
All other parts can be printed with standard settings, no special requirements needed.

  • Enable tree supports
  • Configure supports to generate from build plate only
  • Set print pause at 7.5mm height for slider insertion

Technical Details:

  • Compatible with standard 4.5mm (.177) air rifle pellets
  • Durable construction for long-term use
  • Compact design for easy transport
