Hello! I'm Firewad, and I'm very excited to share this crazy design: the Hicapa Tank Grip. This mod adds a regulator and air tank to the bottom of the magazine for an ultra-compact HPA build.
Many of you guys asked for the Hicapa version after I made the AAP tank grip, and here it is! Here's a short video showcasing it: https://youtube.com/shorts/DE_YrU5HCnU?si=VL_ZeXeYDm0j3FrF
Strength and durability were the most important aspects of this project. To achieve this, the tank grip was designed to mount into the Hicapa grip to create a strong connection and relieve stress on the magazine catch.
Currently, it is compatible with the Gen2 micro type of regulator, which is widely available under different brands or even on Aliexpress. I've included different sizes as there is some variation across brands. I strongly suggest you print the tester pieces beforehand to see which size will fit your reg best. You can access the tester file for free in my Discord server.
You can find more information and assembly instructions in my Discord server: https://discord.gg/B5KFRRkb8R . I'm always happy to answer any questions there!

To save filament and time, I've added these testers, each only 6 grams, that can quickly test which size fits your reg and mag. I strongly suggest printing this test first before printing the tank grip. Once you find the size that fits best, print the corresponding tank grip. Example: If "Tester +2" fits best, print "Main +2.STL"
I've included the 3MF file for Bambu printers. Otherwise, here are the settings I use:
Materials: PLA+, PETG, ABS, ASA, PA-CF
Nozzle Diameter: 0.4mm, 0.6mm
Layer Height: ≤0.20mm
Wall Loops: 8
Infill: Gyroid 40%
