I lost my chamber flag for my shotgun so instead of buying a new one I just made my own!Â
If you're importing the .stl file(s), then the Basic versions don't need any supports. Â However the CLEAR version will need supports for the raised text. Â I suggest organic supports if you're using PrusaSlicer 2.6 or greater.
The gcode files for the CLEAR versions already have organic supports generated for them.
Update 01/14/2024:Â I noticed that my original chamber flag models were a bit easy to break, especially the CLEAR version. Â If you pushed on the flag with nominal force or laid your shotgun with the chamber side down the flag more often than not broke. Â It also breaks very easily if your bolt snaps forward accidentally.
So to remedy that, I remade and reorganized the versions where V1 now references all of the original versions and V2 is the update as a much thicker and reinforced version. Â With V2, you'll find that the chamber flag will now not break so easily. Â In general, one accidental bolt snap forward won't break the flag. Â Two accidental snaps most likely not, but anymore than that and you're rolling the dice. Â Of course, it also depends on how many walls and how much infill you've used to help with reinforcement so your mileage may vary.
The gcode files are defaulted to 2 walls with 20% infill. Â Personally, I did a 50% infill with 5 walls and it's really solid as I was able to do two bolt snaps forward without breaking the flag but the third one did. Â However, you can experiment to find what's best for you.
