Ok Guys here are some base images of a standard Extreme body the same as which we are using for a basis to machine from. You can use these to work your own custom ideas.
I've given as many views as possible so you can try and get an idea of the 3D shape and thus hopefully come up with ideas that are actually possible.
Feel free to mod these anyway you like. It doesn't have to a pretty visual image it can just be some lines done in paint or similiar.
The one thing you can not do is add material anywhere (duh
) and try not to cut into the middle tube deeply if you do not want the valve to be showing... there is only 1.5mm of material there, anything other than some surface work will go through.
Here you can see a front on view. You can see how narrow the front is and the 'strange' contours you need to work your design around. You can also see the barrel cavity, but don't be misled the cavity gets wider in the body than it is at the front for the barrel. You do not have as much material as it may look like there to work with...
Here is an iso picture so you can get an idea of the 3D shape. If you can work your images on this it would be ideal. You can also see the body cavity for the ring. Again this is actually smaller than the cavity behind it for the valve... You can see it is getting thinner. You can see a scoop out of the back behind the module, if you intend to cut into the body anymore than a mm or or so then it needs to be done below the top level of that scoop.
This shows you a view from the top and thus where you are limited to material. The Bike themed gun is machined in from the width of the body at the module to the width of the grip frame which is the same as the bit here in the module gap. That shows you just how much material was removed!
