Hi all,
Well looking for just plain fire Extinguishers for tank's like the M-10, M-107, M-110 ,without the mount on them.
I know the mount can be all cut away to mount them in the PE holders, but gets to be a pain.
So anybody just make them loose?
Looked at Shape-ways , and after 200 pages out of 1349 I gave up. LOL

Thanks

Jeff

I have asked two different digital designers and independently they both said the handles on the Pyrene extinguishers were too small to print digitally.

Every US vehicle needs at least one.

Also I had hopes they could print them in either brass or gold colored materials to avoid having to used icky gold paint but no!

Hi Jeff,

Ask and ye shall receive! I just now CAD'd these beauties up, so they are still "first to try" because I haven't had time to order a test set, but they should do the job for you. (I need a bunch for an upcoming project too, so you just pushed my schedule a bit...)

SW fire extinguishers x12

They are based on the DML part in their M7 kit.

BTW, I was one of the guys who said the pyrene bottle handles are too small to print. For those I'm afraid injection-moulded plastic is the only way to go in 1:35...

I was on shapeways yesterday , saw handles way small, said Hmm mighty strange, until I looked at the scale 1/16 scale. LOL

Yep - everybody takes Paypal these days. It's the "new" credit card for the 21st century, apparently! At least they don't take bitcoin...
