Does anyone have a proven 3D .stl file for a magazine for the repeaters?
I started to work on one. The first attempt was unsuccessful, as the 3D printer I could access was not able to print thin enough for the walls. I'm pretty sure my model was accurate enough.
Now I have a refined 3D model, with a bit thinner walls, as the company I work for bought a new printer that is able to work with finer resolutions, although we have limited access to it.
So if someone had a proven working 3D model, when I will get to use the new printer, I'd print that model as well.
TIA Andras

I don't have a model, but how thin are your walls?

0.5 is a bit thin for most 3D printing processes. 0.7 is just about doable in some materials.
(Goodness, I start sounding like an expert, which I'm not!!)

The magazine must fit into the handle. The blades must fit into the magazine without getting stuck in it. The dimensions on my first model were exact copy of the original metal magazine, although due to the limitation of the printer, they were printed thicker. I know sites that tell by the filament material if a model is printable or not, but that is too generic, as the new printer I mentioned is told to be able to print the 0.5 mm wall that the first couldn't, using the same PLA. I'll see how this will turn out, and finally I'll have no other option than to play with wall thickness. Or have it made of brass.

www.3dhubs.com will tell you which process/material combination can print your parts. The feature is tricky to find though. They claim that printing in Nylon or resin using the "SLA" process can handle walls down to 0.5mm

This is for a blade magazine to replace the original magazines in the Schick Repeaters.
I want one or two if this works...I love my C3 and only have one mag.

If I manage to create a working model, I will of course upload the stl file here, all that is needed to have it printed anywhere. I live in Hungary, it is cheaper to have it printed locally than to post some overseas.

I think thats the key....I've run 10 through my C3 before, but thats 'itching'....Now days, I shave with it empty...when I need to change blades, I drop 1 in the mag, load it and rack it through the system. I haven't had a fail in 2 years.
I don't need to carry 20 blades in it. I don't like the idea of 20 blades getting wet everytime I shave and ghen just sitting in that water inside the handle...It's asking for them to stick together, not to mention, it's not thst santitary.
I just run one through when I need it...It's always 'perfect' and always fun!!
