Dovetail/Weaver to 45 deg offset Picatinny

thingiverse

Older Tippmann A5s and Custom 98s have a Weaver/Dovetail mount. I wanted an adapter that goes from this to a 45deg offset Picatinny, without having to use two adapters (Dovetail to Picatinny, Picatinny to 45deg Picatinny) that raises the mount and without having to pay for fairly expensive aircraft aluminum adapters. This mount is the results of my design. It is long enough for a reflex sight + a sight protector or a longer scope. Notes: (1) This is a tight fit. To put it on, you will need to flex it open a bit to clip it into place. Once in place, it can slide a bit, though it is tight. (2) It uses 3 - 2.5mm socket head machine screws + nuts. The machine screws must be between 12mm and 16mm in shaft length. (3) I found that 50% infill printed with PETG provides enough flexibility to get it clipped in place and not break in the process while still providing the structure for a larger scope.
