Tippman TPX + Qloader = QClip – Pt 2 – Dremel time

After thinking, guessing and loosely measuring, I’ve dremled out a portion of the TPX clip to allow for the QLoader feed hose to feed into the clip

There were two major issues to overcome in this stage of the project

1. the hose is wider than the clip.
2. the balls won’t feed straight up. They would want to stagger and jam, due to the width of the chamber

I’ve removed portions of the outer wall of the clip to avoid compressing the hose. it will hopefully be held in place at the front and back of the clip, where i’ve left outcroppings to fit in the ribs.

To feed the balls, i’ve destroyed a 10 round tube, which i’ll be gluing in to act as a bumper

The almost final product appears to feed balls ok:
