AR Recoil Pad (Updated)

prusaprinters

<p>Just a pad that helps seat the AR15's stock against your shoulder... Slips easily on the Brownell MilSpec and stays put. This makes standing shoulder firing so much more pleasant. The diamond-check pattern on the OE stock is downright painful in a t-shirt, especially pressed up against your collar bone.</p> <p>This only works in flexible filament. If you print this in PLA, Nylon, PETG, etc, I have to ask... WHY?!</p> <p>This version has about five or six millimeters of cushion area.</p> <p>There is a new version with some simple texture marked "RFHP" (Ribbed For Her Pleasure). This should help anchor it on your shoulder in the vertical plane.</p> <p>If you made it and like it, PLEASE post a make! I'd love to see this on someone else's rifle.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Anet A8</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>Doesn't Matter</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>.2mm</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>10% Gyroid provided the best feel</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> I have no idea. TPU <p>Black, but whatever floats your boat, buddy.</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Using cura, you'll want supports everywhere at 50 degrees or more and a support z distance of about point two millimeters. Use the concentric pattern and 20%. That will allow you to remove the support under the ledge that holds it onto the end of the buttstock.</p> Use an infill pattern of 10% gyroid for the ultimate in squishy comfort. I mean, it's not like .223 has any kick in the first place, but... <p>Slips on easily and works well with my jacket. Version "RFHP" has been published with a couple of grooves cut in it to help keep it from sliding if you happen to be out shooting wearing a rayon pantsuit or whatever. Weirdo.</p> <p>If you print that one, you're going to want to use rafts with a .25 air gap. At least, that's the settings I went with. Your results may vary.</p> <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p><strong>REMOVE THE SUPPORT</strong></p> <p>If you printed it properly, there's going to be a little thing under the interior ledges that you should be able to just hook with a fingernail and tear out. Don't forget to do that, as it won't fit well otherwise.</p> </div></p></p> Category: Sport & Outdoors
