So im looking for a buffer tube to buffer tube folding adapter for my airsoft, ive looked for somthing like this for the last 1.5h and found nothing. The concept is relatively simple:

Male buffer tube screw (arouns 10 turns) -> 90 degree sideways hinge -> female buffer tube screw (around 15 turns) with the option to lock it in the folded and unfolded positions. Since the airsoft comes with a buffer tube with 14 turns. I know there will be a spring and some screws needed. Sadly i dont really know the direct dimensions of the stock diameter or the thread, but it should be the normal ar15 buffer tube dimensions.

If you would be willing to create the stl for me we can get into closer contact.

Introducing R3D ARCHER, a sleek round profile modular handguard with detachable anti rotation tabs. Enough internal clearance to slide in up to 38mm suppressor. Available in 6", 7", and 9" handguard length.

After previously playing around with the concept of modular handguard where the handguard is seperated into 3 sections for maximum length customization, cheaper maintenance, and easier print for smaller 3D printer owner, now we start playing around with the concept of replacable anti-rotation tabs.

The reason is because of inconsistency of upper receiver neck width between airsoft, gel blaster, and real mil spec AR upper, ranging from as low as 16.25mm to 17.5mm.

Currently, we have 16.25mm, 16.6mm, and 17.5mm width tabs. If there are more width than that, please leave out a comment below 👇

Permanent anti rotation tabs wont fit good and snug to a widely different AR upper out there, some might be too lose and casue rail wobble; some might not able to slide in. This detachable anti rotation tabs is trying to adress that spesific issue. Each tabs has 4mm thickness, so it wont easily sheers or break. To attach it, is to insert the tabs right on the BASE part of the handguard and no additional hardware required.

The R3D ARCHER will be suitable for you who are looking to build an integrally suppressed AR setup for airsofts and gel blasters.

Go ahead and tell your thoughts and inputs in the comments. Thank you for your attention 🙏

This protector is designed for Airsoft enthusiasts who use a Baofeng UV-5R radio. 

You can now play with your radio attached to your vest or backpack without worrying about a BB damaging it. I tested it at 2 meters with a sniper riffle with a 0.30 gram BB twice.

The 2mm-thick housing, 3D-printed in PETG, is incredibly durable and won't break upon impact from a BB, even shots from sniper rifles won't penetrate the protector.

 The protector clips securely onto the radio and holds firm, it certainly won't come loose during gameplay.

You can still use a headset, as the port remains accessible, and the PTT button also stays fully reachable.

Accessing the volume control is slightly more difficult. While it is still possible to adjust the volume, accidental adjustments are prevented. You can still easily turn the radio on and off with the housing attached. 

Buttons such as the annoying CALL button and the FLASHLIGHT are inaccessible when the housing is on, so you won't trigger them by mistake.

Downloadable from MakerWorld. Make sure to print it in PETG filament.

I made it from those cheap red dot sights from amazon. I've got one on christmas

I designed it for stocks that mount onto a rail. It’s best printed at 100% infill; once assembled, it becomes quite rigid. The button design is based on the MP9—in my opinion, it’s the most reliable option for printing.

Making the final tweaks before publication. Overall, it turned out quite ergonomic; it just needs a foregrip and some accessories like a PEQ box and a flashlight. The fire selector is easy to operate thanks to the large opening at the bottom. The charging handle locks in the forward position and doesn't rattle while firing. I built a short version for myself using a 165mm inner barrel, but I also created two other lengths and handguards with a bottom rail—after all, everyone has different preferences. Right now, I'm finalizing the design and preparing the assembly instructions.

Hey sorry i know this issnt directly airsoft but i want to use it for that purpose, anyone know if there is a file out there of the "soap" bust it comes with? Found a pair second hand without anything except the nvg's
