10/22 Takedown short (140mm) Foregrip

thingiverse

So I really wanted to create a new stock for my Ruger takedown 10/22 rifle that I own, but I got sidetracked with different designs and started with the foregrip. This is just a starting point for what I'll eventually make, as I needed to get all the measurements just right anyway. I'm looking to really dive into the design field eventually, so this was a fun way to start on my own. Considering I only have a printer that can do 140x140mm prints, I figured I'd make one that can be used for anyone who wants a quick replacement stock. It fits super tight and flush, relying solely on the factory screw to hold (and it does very well). Unfortunately, with the PLA I'm using (which was the cheapest option available), there's an issue with the sling attachment, which breaks if you subject it to heavy stress testing (I had hoped for a little more, but it'll do as long as you don't intentionally try to break it like I did). I'll eventually beef up that part. Where it meets the OEM stock, it sticks out about .5 mm at the upper sides, so if you're a perfectionist like me, you can always trim that down a bit - I'll get to it on my next upload. However, if you don't really care and just want something to slap on that you can get a comfortable grip around, this is a good option.

I printed this on my QiDi X-One2 (which has an annoyingly small build plate), and the final print was done at 80% infill - feel free to do more if you want, but I wouldn't go below 50 personally. The layer height was set to .2 with a zigzag pattern, or whatever pattern you prefer. I printed on a heated bed with a 10mm brim (because it's a long print time and I'm not taking any chances) without support. Tips are greatly appreciated, so please be generous if you can (I really can't stress that enough). I have marked this design as not to be reproduced or edited/remixed.
