Picatinny Mount Endure to the End

thingiverse

This is a remake of my purity seal and picatinny template, where I have adopted what I consider the equation for the purpose of life. It is deeply rooted in religious context. The bracketed part forms an equation: (Endure to the End). The two Ts form a pi symbol representing eternity, and the last E is turned inward, signifying that our death looks towards eternity. This design has significant personal and family significance as my father endured extreme pain throughout his life, developed cancer, and eventually passed away. However, he refused to back down in the face of death and lasted far longer than anyone believed possible despite battling brain, lung, and skin cancer, a brain hemorrhage, and numerous other afflictions. Unlike the original design, this remake is held together using screws and nuts instead of glue. You can hole punch the paper after weatherproofing it to fit between the plate and mount. For airsoft use, you can print in PLA, but for my real gun, I'll be using ABS. Nylon with an additive or PETG will also work fine, just avoid soft and low-temperature filaments. If the screws wobble or come loose, add glue to secure them. Required materials include: * 4 M3 button screws at 8 or 10 mm length * 4 M3 nuts * 1 M4 screw (35mm length) with nut OR picatinny mount screw and nut Edit: After printing, I learned that 3-4 perimeters are necessary to achieve a smooth finish on lettering. If you're using standard filaments, ensure there's an insulator between metal furniture and the barrel/chamber to prevent melting at glass transition point. Avoid making engraving too deep, as it will look bad. Note: Ensure proper ventilation when printing with certain materials.
