#  The ultimate parametric silencer / moderator for airgun / bbgun / airsoft

## Project description

This design allows to generate a unique baffle
silencer exactly fitting your gun/rifle:

- with external tube or not (like carbon fiber tube)
- with an "over the barrel" tube or not
- fully tunable: number/size/progressiveness of baffles
- easy cleaning - two parts
- all caliber compatible
- all metric ou unf threads
- 2 printing modes (depending on your printer efficiency)

### Concept

Baffle design is up to you and you can tweak it: Angle, Volume, Number, Progressivity.

### Printing

If you are using a brim for adhesion, the internal curves will be painfull to clean, I
added a nice option (silencer\_brim\_close) which allows to use Cura "Brim > Only on the outside".

I use ABS filament, 100% infill, no support!, an Ultimaker 2.

The thread output from the printer (even in mode=1, printed flat) is pretty good if your printer is efficient.
Tapping the thread is of course the best way to produce a clean path after print.

## Usage

You need openscad and a text editor.

### Linux
Simply install your distribution packages: openscad, curl, make

Clone the repository:
```
# git clone --recursive https://github.com/guillaumef/gun-silencer

```

Retrieve dependancies - if you did not use git '--recurvive' previously:
```
# cd gun-silencer
#
# cd libs
# make
# cd ..
```

Run openscad with the local libs directory.
```
OPENSCADPATH=`pwd`/libs openscad ./silencer.scad
```

Edit scad file (see section "Files" below)

Generate your STLs and print !

### Windows

Should be simple but... I don't have Microsoft Windows.
OpenSCAD is available. It should work perfectly.

### MacOS

Same as Windows.

## Files:

### silencer.scad
defines the mode, the part to work on and include the configuration file.
```

                                           1 = two parts (if your 3d printer is efficient)
                                           2 = three parts to print (threaded part printed vertically)
                                         */

silencer_part                   = 0;    /*
                                           0 = demo parts
                                           1 = first part
                                           2 = second part

in mode=2, the two sides are the same.
                                         */
