Redbull 22 Suppressor

Redbull 22 Suppressor Features

The Redbull 22 Suppressor stands out with its clever concealment—disguised as a sugar-free Redbull can, it blends into everyday environments while serving a specialized purpose. This design builds on the legacy of similar projects like Purple Drank and White Drank, offering a fresh take on upright printed suppressors.

Key highlights include:

• Unique Form Factor: Fits perfectly within an 8.4 oz sugar-free Redbull can for a discreet profile.
• Open-Source Freedom: Released under the GUNCAD Ruby License v1.1, allowing free use, modification, and distribution without charge.
• Customizable Design: Modify the design to suit your needs, as long as source files (like STEP files) are included in distributions.

This suppressor is not just about aesthetics; it’s a functional piece tailored for .22lr firearms, balancing practicality with an unconventional look. Ideal for enthusiasts who value both performance and creativity, it’s a conversation starter in any collection.

Difficulty & Build Time

• Skill Level: Intermediate
• Estimated Build Time: 8-12 hours
• Required Experience: Basic knowledge- Familiarity with 3D printing and suppressor assembly; some experience with firearm accessories recommended.

Hardware and Tools Required

Required Hardware

• Sugar-free Redbull 8.4 oz can (must be sugar-free for proper fit)
• Standard .22lr firearm components compatible with suppressors
• 3D printed parts as per the provided STL files

Recommended Tools

• 3D (5)
• Standard 3D printing tools (e.g., calipers, cleaning tools)
• Assembly tools as detailed in the build instructions PDF
• Finishing tools for post-processing printed parts (sandpaper, files)

Redbull 22 Suppressor Parts

The Redbull 22 Suppressor design includes downloadable STL files for all necessary components to print the suppressor structure. For optimal results, use a high-strength material like PETG or ABS to ensure durability under firearm use. Print settings should prioritize precision over speed to maintain the tight tolerances required for a proper fit within the Redbull can.

Special considerations include ensuring layer adhesion for structural integrity—consider using a higher infill percentage (around 20-30%) for added strength. Detailed assembly guidance is available in the provided PDF at the linked build instructions, ensuring a smooth build process.

Printer Compatibility & Settings

The Redbull 22 Suppressor design is compatible with most FDM 3D printers capable of handling detailed prints, such as Ender 3, Prusa i3, or similar models. Recommended materials include PETG for a balance of strength and flexibility or ABS for higher heat resistance, though proper ventilation is advised due to ABS fumes. Avoid PLA due to its lower heat tolerance, which may not withstand firearm use.

Set your printer to a layer height of 0.2mm or finer for detailed accuracy, with a nozzle temperature suited to your chosen material (around 230-250°C for PETG). Ensure your build plate is leveled and consider using a brim or raft for better adhesion on smaller parts. These settings help achieve the precision needed for a snug fit and functional suppressor.

Conclusion

The Redbull 22 Suppressor is a standout project for 3D printing and firearms enthusiasts, combining innovative design with practical application in a discreet, everyday disguise. With its open-source license, detailed build instructions, and unique aesthetic, it’s a rewarding build for anyone ready to tackle an intermediate-level project.
