Pistol Grip for Sliding Legolini

thingiverse

Łukasz Janikowski did an amazing job on creating a printable version of Jörg Sprave's Sliding Legolini. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4210059 Because of censorship, the original Legolini is no longer available on thingiverse.com. So, just download it from the official Legolini Website: https://legolini.com/ I printed it and it works perfectly. There is only one thing that I dislike: The original rear handle - it feels all wrong. Therefore, I changed it to a pistol grip. I modified the trigger mechanism so that the rest of the Legolini can stay as it is. Just replace the handle with the new pistol grip. You will need the original parts and bolts in addition to these additional parts: 3x M3x20 bolt 1x M3x25 bolt (for the trigger) 1x M3 nut Superglue Lubricant ( I use candle wax) - Print everything with 4 walls, 25% infill and 0.2mm layer height (~10 hours) - Deburr and sand every part - Glue the grip halves together - Lube the moving parts (release and trigger) - Insert the release and the trigger to the adapter bottom - Secure the trigger with the M3x25 bolt - Bolt the adapter top to the adapter bottom - Push the grip into the adapter and secure it with two bolts - Insert spring - Remove your Legolini's original handle - Install the assembled pistol grip to your Legolini - Make sure that everything moves smoothly by adjusting the release and trigger bolts For me, this grip is way more fun than the original one. I think I can even aim better with it. EDIT: I have uploaded an alternative trigger and spring release. This alternative version allows a bigger opening angle of the string release (+3.5°). On the downside, you need more force to pull the trigger. You can easily exchange the trigger and string release. So try it for yourself and see what you like better. NOTE: It is crucial that you use a M3x25 bolt for the trigger. Do not use a M3x20 bolt, it's too short. The trigger would wobble and malfunction. If you do not have a M3x25 bolt, anything else will do that is long enough and has a dia of 3mm. E.g., you can even glue in a nail.
