3D Printable Folding Iron Sights V1.1

thingiverse

I made this so it only requires a rubber band to function because a rubber band is more common than an actual spring.\nBoth the front and rear sight are adjustable.\nThe design was inspired by Magpul's new iron sights, and the locking mechanism was inspired by my Airsoft PTS sight.\n---UPDATES--- \n\nV1.1\nI thank Viktor Jensen, aka "No_Aim", for suggesting adding a hole for a spring to the sights!\n\n\nV1.0\nAfter re-examining the design choices for the rubber band holder, I found some bad ones that made printing difficult.\nSince there's nothing good about them, I removed the old files.\n\n\nV0.9.6\nI edited and scaled STL files to improve functionality, and eliminated non-threaded parts.\n\n\nV0.9.5\nA stronger rear sight was uploaded.\n\nV0.9:\nTo strengthen parts, I added physical treads; however, the old files will remain available for those who want to add them by hand.\nI also updated the lock file so that text would extrude inward, eliminating unnecessary rafts.\nTo secure the sight to a weapon, a simple bolt and nut were added.\nThe base was revised for strength, with the hole for the nut raised slightly.\nWhen printed, images of assembled sights are welcome; I'm excited to get my printer home!\nPrint Settings:\nRaft: Doesn't Matter\nSupports: Yes Instructions: Refer to the assembly instructions in my gallery's two sheets.
