My warpless Rotor project

[wingbatwu]

so far so good
edit: does this work better?

Is it just me, the link doesn't work for me ?

Just copy and paste the [img] [/img] file.

you think someone could 3d print a top with all that integrated just into the top to do the same thing?

[wingbatwu]

^^Most probably. All I did was drill a hole and aligned a tube with the spinning parts of a BoxRotor, that totally are compatible with a regular Rotor.

oh ok.

pics of the inside!

what are you mounting this on?

I'm working on a skeleton buttstock for it.

[Syko89]

Wingbatwu have you tried it on a marker yet. From the video it looks like it just needs to be mounted up. I have been doing a bunch of warpless halos but stayed away from the rotor because couldn't get parts and was unsure if it would keep feeding once the initial ball stack was pushed up. Hope you can prove this wrong

[wingbatwu]

I've been busy with non-paintball stuff, but I will try to do a mock up of the stock I d like to mount it on. I have pretty much everything i need, it s just a matter of doing some metal work n cuts

[Justus]

Any news on this? The Rotor was by far my favorite loader, but unable to be made warpless (until now?)

[blackdeath1k]

Stack height is fairly adjustable. And pretty sure it wouldn't be hard to make it function at even stiffer thresholds. As for the motor. That's replaceable as well. So I'd say if the box rotor parts are a direct swap this could be the cleanest warpless setup going. I'll not try it though since I'm just not a fan of the side mount hopper.

[barkingspider]

I'm interested in knowing where this ended up? I thought I remember people talking about mocking up a new printed parts so cutting is minimized.

[knownothingmags]

perfect. thank you.
ill see what kinda bulk buy i can get done for those parts.

[Justus]

I ordered parts a couple years back too. Just got in my LT-R this weekend. You only need the red center-feed arm and the black cage that goes on top of it. You don't need any other parts. I ordered just those two things and, IIRC, I think it was something like $17 shipped to my house from DYE. You do have to call them directly though. No place online seems to sell those repair/replacement parts.


Those parts are literally drop-in mods to make the Rotor feed upwards, and I tested it with reballs for awhile this evening. As far as 3D printing the mods to the shell, you may be able to just print a "color change kit" if the necessary feed hole in the upper shell fits completely below the main piece in the color change kit. That way people could just drill a hole under their color kit and it would be completely covered if they wanted to go back to the standard setup. I'm not sure a 1" hole would fit completely under the color change kit at the correct spot though.

Ive tried hunting down the box rotor parts needed to make this great idea, but have been unsuccessful. Anyone have leads or access to dye parts?

I can't get due to respond to inquries

[tucson.az.jbreen]

Did you by chance test to see if the hopper would feed the gun consistently with out modification?

I'm thinking hopper totally stock, no mods, mounted with the proper bracket and a feed tube to the gun.

I'm kinda scared to cut up my rotor, by at the same time I fear the effort required to use a q loader, the alternative.

Thanks,
Jim

This is what I am going to be trying to do. I haven't gotten everything set up to try it out yet though. I was going to order a higher torque motor and install it into the hopper and see if it will work.

I would like to get the Box Rotor parts though, that seems like it would be a nice way to go.

[barkingspider]

I have my parts ready, let me know if you need some testing...wink wink

I have a few projects. But if you are in town it makes conversation easier

Unfortunately I'm not In town, maybe next year for a pheasant hunt. I do understand your busy with life and projects. I'll raise a glass in hopes of taking a couple of these off your hands in the near future.

[knownothingmags]

I can travel, remind me in a pm where you are. I'll meet time

Fingers crossed while breathing life into this thread...........

[knownothingmags]

hey so how did you get the balls to feed up instead of down. ur pics confuse me some.
im not at home so I don't have my rotor in front of me.

[captian pinky]

he is using the red and black pieces from a box mag. instead of pushing the paint down it pulls it up then he just made the tubing.

damn how do I get just those pieces

[barkingspider]

I called dye and they sold me the parts. I ordered everything minus the battery pack in the second folder.

I think it was around $36, but that was 8 months ago.....my memory isn’t so sharp these days

[barkingspider]

I can send you what I have if that is easier?

[barkingspider]

Found my receipt from Dye, keep in mind I ordered two of each part
