7mm rod Y-Tho + Kelly Wye + Skewer Grip

thingiverse

*This file is a remix of a remix designed for thinner bow arms. 7mm rods will produce more power than intended with the original design, potentially resulting in damage to the prints or the user. Strong, impact resistant filament like PLA+ should be considered for this project. It should also go without saying that **wearing safety eyewear at all times when using the bow is a must.** I mean, it doesn't go without saying, but it should.* **PRINT AND USE AT YOUR OWN RISK** A remix of Anaphalaxas's remix of ArtificialArmory's Y-Tho made to fit 7mm fibreglass rods. I made the holes for the rods big enough and also spaced them apart slightly wider to accomodate the extra volume. I also flattened off the logo (sorry Anaphalaxas) so that I could print my own multi-material logo to glue in its place. The space for the logo is a 35mm diameter circle. The Arm End and Reinforced Pull pieces from the original fileset can just be scaled to 109.6% in your slicer. The Plunger head should be printed at normal size, and drilled out with a 7mm drill bit (for some reason this seemed easier to me than altering the file). I printed all parts of mine with *10* - **YES TEN** - walls/perimeters, and then at least 50% infill as well. This is to account for the extra power produced by the 10% thicker bow arms. It also gives you some room to drill out the hole on the plunger head (and any others if they're a little tight) without making the part that holds the rod too thin. Is this overkill? Almost certainly! Do I want my printed parts to be ridiculously overbuilt when they're intended to hold flexed fibreglass rods under tension, right next to my face? Yes, I want that very much. All other print settings (like supports) are the same as for the originals. **Make sure to read the original instructions!**
