CNC Carbon Fiber Wave holster
on: October 21, 2015, 06:43:36 AM
Hey MTO!

Been a LOOOONG time since I've posted anything, mostly just reading all the exciting news and updates. Been a little busy with work and recently have been experimenting with desktop CNC.

I have had this idea for a while, but never had the means to make it. I finally have the tooling and experience.

This holster has gone through 3 revisions (and will go through another) but this MKIII works very well. It uses a side pressure spring mechanism and a solid, fixed horizontal/vertical belt plate.

Additional features include two pegs on the outside that prevent the blades from opening while holstered. The last thing I did was machine those out of steel and then heat blackened them to match the black screws.

Anyways, here it is!

Why stop now?

He drops by every now and then. Last time was May, 9th. Usually you can reach him via eMail or PM. And ccheck out his site(s) - Usually you can order what´s available there.

Some 3D printing stuff to be found here:
http://www.shapeways.com/shops/metro-qbranch

there was a site where he marketed slingshots and odds and ends, but I don´t remember the URL right now.
