iCON1

3D Printed Lightgun by iCON

Based on the ODCON1 created by Discord user Odwalla with additional inspiration from SamRevolt and many others. Modifications include a sliding trigger rather than a hinged trigger to give more space inside the gun frame for wires & electronics. The solenoid is now mounted to the frame with screws. The sliding mechanism uses round linear bearings that slide on dual hardened steel shafts. Also has illuminated sights for more accurate pew-pewing, an RGB illuminated thumb rest. The iCON name comes from being “illuminated”.

The iCON2 uses a flat linear bearing rather than the round bearings used in the iCON1 making the build process much easier. Consider using the 3d parts from the iCON2 instead of the slide and bearing clamp parts of the iCON1.

The author marked this model as their own original creation.

25 parts have been uploaded for the iCON1, some may be alternative versions of the same part.


Bearing Clamp Left rev.1 by iCON on 06 Feb 2024 View 3d Model Download STL File	Print as shown in the STL file to prevent supports and overhangs from interfering with the fit of the bearing and the solenoid. Suggested settings: Print as shown in the STL file Use normal support touching the build plate
Bearing Clamp Right rev.2 by iCON on 06 Feb 2024 View 3d Model Download STL File	Print as shown in the STL file to prevent supports and overhangs from interfering with the fit of the bearing and the solenoid. Suggested settings: Print as shown in the STL file Use normal support touching the build plate
Camera Mount DF Robot rev.2 by iCON on 06 Feb 2024 View 3d Model Download STL File	Mounts to the top front of the Front Frame using 2 M3x8 or M3x10 screws. Before mounting this part to the Front Frame, insert (2) m3x5 heat set inserts into the two larger holes in the bottom of this part. Then insert your DF Robot camera into the back side of this part and secure the position of the DF Robot camera using (1) M3x8 screw (this screw threads into the 3d print and does not use a heat set insert – DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN IT! Ignore the “TOP” label on the camera, the camera will be properly aligned when the camera cable is aligned with the “CABLE” marking on this part and the camera LED is aligned with the “LED” marking. The front of the camera should be flush with the front of this part for best results when using a fish-eye lens. Suggested settings: Print as shown in the STL file Support is not required
