Apex Legends Wingman with Reload Mechanism

A mechanical Apex Legends Wingman build project, with a spring loaded mechanism to mimic the reload animation in game.

See the build tutorial video below

Please note this video is old and a little outdated, i have attached a PDF highlighting some changes to the build process compared to the video.

You will need

Black PLA
Silver PLA
Bronze PLA
Copper/Brown PLA
Red PLA (a really small amount, so maybe don't buy a whole roll for it)

Additional parts required

See attached Maker's Supply kit (recommended), containing:

5x 0.6x8x80 compression spring (1x required)
20x BT3x10 (15x required)
20x BT3x16 (11x required, or 14x for the A1 Mini version)

Alternatively:

1x Spring (65mm free length, 6.8mm diameter): https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/compression-springs/0751477/ (this should be a fairly common spring internationally however I am unable to list sources for other countries)
15x No.4 x 3/8in self tapping flange screw
11x No.4 x 5/8in self tapping flange screw (14x for the A1 Mini version)

The Maker's Supply kit is recommended because the spring provides a much stronger and more realistic trigger feel, and the BT3 screws are better than #4 screws.

Textured Plate VS Smooth (Cool Plate / Smooth PEI)

The difference in surfaces makes a pretty big impact due to the mechanics and fairly tight tolerances, it has not been possible to design in a way that works perfectly for both. The smooth plates should be fine, but for textured plates you may need to keep the screws a little loose between the main body left/right parts. Its best to just tighten each 1 gradually and test the spring will still release the mechanism freely.
