First, here's a thank you to Waffleman for finding this asset and introducing it to Thingiverse.
The low-poly 'parent' allowed me to rough in
...Show more the dimensions and then refine a crisp, clean model that I'm really happy to share with everyone.
Whether it is in the hands of an NCR Ranger, or big tiddy anime girls, the PGM Hecate II has made a name for itself in the entertainment world and on the battlefield as a hard hitting anti material rifle, built around the BADASS 12.7x99mm NATO .50BMG cartridge.
This remix is based on the dimensions used in Fallout 3 New Vegas, but was evolved to suit my tastes and fall closer in line with real reference images.
This rifle will certifiably raise your intimate appeal with whatever combination of adjectives, indecisiveness, Tumbler profiles, and glitter you could possible want! This weapon's power is so monumental, when leveled against a foe, the bullet will actually travel BACK IN TIME and lay waste to their grandmother to ASSURE you that your adversary is ERASED from the space time continuum. Undoubtedly, this is WHY the PGM HECATE II exists on a tier all its own in the sacred annals of the Brotherhood of Nod.
I've tried to make assembly EASIER by providing holes that are already sized to spec for tapping.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that this is a work in progress. I am going to be printing this, but I haven't perfected the bolt/ receiver articulation and fitment!
Joining the buttstock to the receiver I went with a 1/2" 13 length of all-thread about 10" long (slot one end of it so you can tighten it with a flat head screwdriver. About 3" inside the receiver, and 3" inside the buttstock, will be threaded.
The rest of the holes have been sized to 4.7mm for easy tapping for M5 screws (I figured since we all have 3d printers it was a safe bet!) YOU WILL WANT/ NEED:
* 4x M5x25 for the muzzle brake.
* 1x M5x100 for the carry handle
* 1x M5x?? for the rear of the bolt. Yes there is a screw there in real life. Doesn't matter how long you use so long as the socket cap head goes in flush.
* 1x GI/ MILSPEC (preferably a cheepo knockoff) black rifle pistol grip! I put a 2mm pilot hole in the receiver to act as a guide for whatever finished size you want to drill. I followed dimension drawings for this part of the assembly as much as I could, but some hand fitment might be required for this part!
* AND THE BARREL, which should be 20-24" (depending on your sense of aesthetics) of 1" (outside diameter) SCHEDULE 80 PVC tubing.
CHANGELOG:
18 Jun 18: Truncated the taper of the chamber assembly: it doesn't print well tapered so long and thin. Uploaded my own prints so you can see how things are working out! As a side note, the dimensions are tight, and I think the slight thermal shrink is responsible for that. Minimal sanding got the fitment that I am happy with, so I don't think I'll be changing it unless I find the fitment of the chamber assembly to the receiver to
