Modular Pistol Stand Riser

thingiverse

I wanted to design a customizable pistol stand that could be tailored for each gun model. Each stand requires three components - a universal base (found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3685466), plus a customized vertical muzzle support and pistol grip base (this item.) You simply need to measure or research some basic size information and Thingiverse will generate a customized STL for your firearm. The following measurements are necessary for your gun: Muzzle bottom height Muzzle top height Muzzle width Muzzle bottom curvature Grip base width Grip base length Grip base angle Grip base curvature You can usually find these measurements on the manufacturer's site or you can use a ruler or calipers to measure them. All measurements are in millimeters. "Curvature" is a bit tricky to measure - it determines how rounded the corners are on the cutouts for the muzzle and grip base. Higher curvature = more of a circle. Low or zero curvature = squared edges. A curvature of 3 equals a 3mm diameter relief. You may have to experiment a bit to find the value that fits your gun best. Grip base angle refers to the angle of the grip bottom when the muzzle is held horizontally. Positive values raise the butt end higher. Zero is flat. Negative values may not work properly (after about -3 it will start to cut through the bottom of the base insert.) It would be great if people could publish their customized stands and name them after their gun model - I would love to see a full library of pre-measured stands ready for download and printing! Edit - adding custom .stl files for pistols with unusual muzzle cutouts 1 - I added a customized 1911 stand. This is for a classic Colt 1911. 2 - Added a Yugoslavian M57 TT Tokarev stand. This model uses Daniel Upshaw's excellent roundedcube.scad module. I had to include it into the .scad file since Thingiverse doesn't allow external libraries in the customizer. This module was not written by me! https://danielupshaw.com/openscad-rounded-corners/
