Hi there!
Do you love the aesthetics of the classy Winchester Model 1887? Me too! Being featured in Terminator 2, CoD, FarCry, Battlefield and other widespread media, you can finally experience it live in your living room at minimal cost!
Works great as a Cosplay accessory too! The working mechanism is definately an eye catcher! But fear not, IT CANNOT SHOOT! May not be wise to carry it in public though, it looks quite realistic.
This project took a lot of time and effort.
I did not have the real gun to disassemble or any 3D-models of some kind. I had to study the original US-patent files (available on Google Docs, fun fact) full of cross sections to figure out how the mechanism works. Next up I had to turn my acquired understanding into CAD models of the internals. While 3d-printing does not have a lot of limitations, I love models which are easy to print with large flat bottom surfaces, no need for supports, proper connection solutions without the need for glue, simply overall easy to print. Following my own Rules that come with the DeSteiner brand does not make the design process easier, but results in a much more satisfying printing process. All the dimensions of the gun in general were taken from a sideways image and the info, that the gun is 70cm long. Combining both by counting and converting pixels I acquired the basic outside dimensions. Surprisingly, the first prototype worked quite well. Some troubleshooting, tweaking and polishing followed.
And here it is. The DeSteiner Model 1887, working like a charm.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I will not fully maintain thingiverse anymore (too slow and buggy) so I moved over to printables
If you value my work, I would highly appreciate it if you sent me a tip!
Don't forget to share your makes, too!
Yours,
Tobias ~DeSteiner
