GRR-Ripper Clone (Hardware Store Edition)

thingiverse

First things first, this design is based almost entirely on the groundbreaking work of adiasmesquita <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3935950">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3935950</a> and Ibravo5495 <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4249710">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4249710</a>. My changes are minor but effective, in my opinion. I redesigned this to use more common hardware that can be easily purchased at your local hardware store. Instead of brass inserts, I designed it to work with much more accessible M5 nuts. For the grip material on the bottom, I bought the cheapest bicycle tube available and cut out pieces slightly oversized. I washed them well to remove any powder residue and used heavy grit sandpaper to scuff up the inside so blue paint would stick better. I applied Loctite Super Glue specifically designed for plastic (black bottle, blue top) and glued the rubber to the pieces, ensuring it wrapped around the front and back edges to prevent peeling. Here is a full list of hardware required: 2x M5 x 3/4" bolts - Handle 12x M5 x 1" bolts - Main body, middle piece, left side, right side, 1 extension 2x M5 x 1 1/4" bolts - for attachments to the thicker 1/4" side. 2x M5 washers - Handle and extensions 16x M5 Nuts I printed everything at a .3mm layer height. The handle, center, and main body needed supports, but that was it. I included a few differently sized knobs. Depending on bolt head variances and material used, you may need to experiment with knob sizes. I glued all nuts in place except for those in the main body, which stay on their own. I also glued bolts into knobs.
