Title: 3d printed holsters.
Post by: TAB on April 25, 2025, 09:29:51 AM

Any one ever 3d printed a holster?


I am thinking about designing one for a colt detective to fit in my trucks door pocket.  I am debating if it worth doing the design work to model the gun or just buy a cheap kydex holster and design something to hold it that will fit in the pocket and keep it in place.

Depends on your expertise with modeling.  Other than “blocky” shapes it’s beyond me or my software to do something like that with any precision.  Looking at some of the newer AI controlled 3D programs, it’s probably
 a piece of cake for the advanced modeler. 

I’d go with a OTC Kydex and modify the way it attaches

With the number of inexpensive kydex holsters that have adjustable and/or changeable attachments features I would go with kydex. Visualizing something, I picture a paddle holster with the paddle being the attachment point to your door pocket.
