Oculus Rift Rifle / Gun Stock Remix for 3/4" PVC & 6-32 screws

thingiverse

This is a remix to make the PVC pipe edition fit perfectly with a standard 3/4 inch schedule 40 PVC pipe. The original was based on an assumed 1 inch outer diameter, which is slightly narrower than an actual 3/4 inch pipe. I transformed the two-piece design into clamshells, so you only need one screw/nut per clamp. I re-created the magnet slots to use 3mm x 18mm Neodymium magnets. Finally, I changed the hex nut size to accommodate 1/2 inch 6-32 screws and nuts, instead of the harder-to-find metric screws in the US. (Edit: It's better to go with 3/4 inch 6-32 as the 1/2 inch might be too short.) You can buy all the hardware from Home Depot. Everbilt Machine Screws #6-32 1/2 inch, #6-32 hex nuts, 3/4 inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe, and Magnet Source 18mm disc Neodymium magnets are readily available. This is basically the 'Murican version with no metric hardware. The shoulder stock section remains unchanged, but I've included it anyway, so you don't have to hunt for it. Clearly, it could use some cleanup, as I'm new at this and modified it in TinkerCAD. It works well enough for me, so I thought I'd upload it. You'll need to print the touch cradles, slide a magnet into the slot from inside the cradle (friction fit, no glue needed), and then print the shoulder stock and stock holder. Print at least two pipe clamps. I would consider printing an extra clamp, so you can have a third spot on your pipe. It's handy for that P90 grip. Glue the magnets into the bigger disc spaces in clamps, making sure to line up the polarity. These are fairly strong magnets, so use decent glue. I'm using E6000, and hoping it holds. My post-print photos are using overly long 1 inch screws that I had on hand. Also, two of the clamps are the older 2-piece design, closer to the original version (but for 6-32 screws). Note: Someone had this printed and found the 1/2 inch screws too short. It might be best to go with 3/4 inch bolts. Sorry about that.
