thingiverse

This assembly helps to set up the center shot on a compound bow.\nTo complete this setup, the following items are required:\nHardware:\n4 - 10-24 countersunk head x 1.5" long screws\n2 - M6 washers\n1 - M6 Nylock nut\n2 - M6 standard nuts\n2 - 10-24 nuts\n1 - M6 hex head bolt, 60mm to 70mm in length\nPrinted Parts:\n1 - Riser Mount part with a single nut inserted during printing\n1 - Laser Clamp Outer part\n1 - M6 Knob part with a single nut inserted during printing\n1 - Laser Clamp Base part with two nuts inserted during printing\n2 - 10-24 Keeper Washer parts\n4 - 10-24 Knob parts\nA reliable laser pointer is also needed. Avoid using cheap lasers as their alignment lenses may not be accurate.\nTo print some components, pause the printer at the last layer height of nut pockets and insert the nuts. This can be done with a G-code viewer.\nAfter printing all the necessary parts:\n(1) Gather the required hardware and complete any necessary printing\n(2) Install 10-24 countersunk screws into the 10-24 knobs\n(3) Assemble Laser Clamp Base part to M6 bolt using M6 washers on both sides and an M6 Nylock nut. Tighten just enough for rotation but not loose.\n(4) Insert two of the 10-24 knob assemblies into the Riser Mount part and use keeper washers on the other side to prevent screws from falling out.\n(5) Thread M6 bolt with Laser Clamp Base into Riser Mount and thread M6 Knob on the opposite side.\n(6) Attach Outer Laser Clamp to Laser Clamp Base using the remaining two 10-24 knob assemblies\n(7) Install laser pointer, then tighten clamp so it doesn't move\nTo use this setup:\n(1) Install on bow riser at sight mounting holes\n(2) Adjust laser position by threading M6 bolt into or out of Riser Mount for alignment with the center of the string\n(3) Tighten down M6 Knob to secure position and recheck alignment, adjusting as necessary\n(4) Use the laser to check arrow shaft to bow string alignment.\nThe accuracy will depend on the laser used and printed parts, so keep that in mind.
