45mm Pard NV007 Q/R scope mount

thingiverse

45mm scope adapter mount for the pard NV007 & NV007A. I've made this a little bit longer than the original as I found there wasn't quite enough adjustment of focal length for one of my scopes. screw holes may need some reaming but designed to fit an M3 pan head screw + 5.5mm AF M3 nut (or equivalent). nut may require a quick blast with a jet lighter for fitting. don't worry if you see the locking pin holes on the top breech the sidewall in your slicer and in the print itself it's expected and doesn't do any harm. Initially when you first fit the pard to the mount the twist lock will be very tight and the pard may not turn, this tightness is intentional to account for the fact that 3d printed walls are not flat and a close tolerance fit is required or it will have a lot of play. Don't force the pard, but work it back and forth continually it should start to twist bit by bit. This will flatten the crests of the layers and make it nice and smooth. Once worn in a bit you'll get a nice smooth action and that satisfying locking "click". Prototype was printed in PLA but final is being produced in ABS. printed with a 0.6mm nozzle but other sizes will work fine, supports are needed, layer height isn't overly important.
