And some good High-Build Primer to really finish it off smoothly. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoining the two halves of the grab handle is the tricky part. I recommend gluing and clamping the lower part of the body first, and then carefully gluing the handle after in order to get a good, straight join. (You'll notice that the handle on mine has a noticeable join - something I'm working on improving and will update once I've come up with a solution!)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI look forward to seeing your prints, and as always, if you encounter any problems, please let me know and we'll see if we can fix them together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPDATE: 23rd October 2025 - A lovely person called Dan has tested and successfully printed the A1 Mini Profile, so you can now printed a full sized pulse rifle on your tiny printer bed!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou can find it at the top of the page.
