er, model up your own version?

Or buy an extreme and measure it and build your own model to work from. Depending on where you want to mill and what you want to mill, it might not be that hard. After all the inside is pretty tubular

yeah im not to concerned about milling the inside lol

I am assuming you use a ballnose end mill for the curves on the profile right? I was just wondering what size end mill you use and how many tools you use to complete the outside profile. Also, if you can tell me, I was curious as to what CAM software that is that you are using. I am familiar with a few different CAM programs but that one didn't look familiar.

so... are you gonna show us that other body you were working on too?

[manike]

Timmy63, Yes it uses a ball nose cutter to get the curves. It's mainly done with a 12mm diameter tool. Off the top of my head it uses 4 different cutters...

Foo there are pictures of my other gun in some other threads.

Wow thats interesting i think ill try making a body for my RT which shouldnt be as complicated. If you wouldnt mind telling me what program that is i would appreciate it I have a CAM program but its a lttle older than that one and im thinkin about getting a newer one thanks.

[Pand0ra]

The program he uses is Tebis.
Probably one of the most powerfull CAM program out there.

Here's a link to the website of tebis:

In another post Tom stated next year they'll release drawings to allow poeple to make their own bodies.
I don't think it'll cause any troubles to the incomes of AGD. Don't forget the body is just one part of the marker.
you still need all the other parts to make it work.

Ahh but will there be one for the Old RT besides its fun when u make somthing yourself if i get one drawn up and get it to work. ill post it here so anyone else can may be a while though im working on some other projects including what could posibly be the fastest paintball gun ever. if all goes well there rate of fire will be REALLY HIGH and it should actually shoot paint that fast but i cant give any more info but im sure you guys will be the first to hear about it
