UPDATE 2 New Version of QPS Sight is included in the Stealth Update for the Tempus blaster, here:- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4941207 This features New styling, quicker assembly, with a lower parts count. UPDATE 1 DESCRIPTION The Zplate has been updated to house a plain M3 nut instead of tapping a thread into the plastic, this is optional but makes assembly slightly easier. PARTS UPDATED (STL) QPSIGHT_ZPLATE_V1-1.stl Quick Point Sight for 3D printed Nerf blasters DESCRIPTION Quick Point Sight is an open sight designed to look a bit like a typical Red dot sight. It is setup for Nerf blasters which have a large amount of dart drop over distance. Usefull both for teaching kids basic sight adjustment & also for Nerf battles. Attachment is for Picatinny rail. DESIGN NOTES Red dot sights are very affordable but if you are kitting out a number of blasters costs add up. As a result I was looking for a 3D printed sight that was at least adjustable and setup for the more extreme adjustment range required for Nerf. The very close couple between the front & rear sight may be of concern, but in practice it seems to work fine for a Nerf blaster. 3D PRINTING NOTES Print out using typical PLA 0.2mm layer height, 20% infill settings, No supports. The Body of the sight is best printed at angle on the front face (No Supports are then needed), this does benefit from a finer layer height of say 0.15mm. (See Build Video for further details).
