Remix: HTC Vive Gun Stock (12mm magnets, adjustable, easy print)

thingiverse

Merged all files into two prints, STL files that fit on a 150mmx150mmx150mm bed, aligned for optimal printing. Either my printer is slow or Cura has an inaccurate print time estimate. XD 0.2mm 20% Cubic Subdivision infill Cura estimated time to complete: Rails - 10h29m Mounts and Stocks - 12h8m Da Vinci Jr 1.0w actual print time: Rails - 15h57m (cubic infill, settings changed after crash, oh well.) Mounts and Stocks - 18h (Cura crashed 17h51m in) All credit to Bogdan87: https://www.thingiverse.com/Bogdan87 Original Found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing/2221219 I created this stock for Onward. This is a two-part design, which I think will make assembly easier and provide more stability to the entire thing. The first part includes the rails and supports for both stocks (A and B). The second part includes the stocks themselves. Required tools: screw + nut, #8-32 x 1-1/2 in - quantity: 4 screw + nut, #8-32 x 1-1/4 in - quantity: 6 magnets - use neodymium, not ceramic disc (we need more strength than those can provide. Quantity depending on the size - see the "Controller - top" and "Controller - mount" part variants as reference) Links to hardware (if you need to buy any): screws: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-8-32-Machine-Screw-Kit-800994/204331402 nuts and washers: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-94-Piece-Stainless-Steel-Nut-and-Washer-Kit-803334/205949033 magnets: https://www.homedepot.com/p/MASTER-MAGNETICS-0-7-in-Neodymium-Rare-Earth-Magnet-Discs-3-per-Pack-07047HD/202526369 https://www.homedepot.com/p/MASTER-MAGNETICS-1-2-in-Neodymium-Rare-Earth-Magnet-Discs-6-per-Pack-07046HD/202526367?keyword=neodymium+6+per+pack if you head to Home Depot, you'll find a selection of magnets in the aisle with machine screws and fasteners: https://imgur.com/QZAhJz9 I recommend magnets: 0.472 x 0.118 inch (12 mm x 3 mm). They're available in Home Depot as well. Hope you enjoy!

Make sure the surfaces are clean (no grease/oil from fingers) and additionally you can scorch the surface of magnets for better adhesion (i.e. with screwdriver). Things to keep in mind: Make sure the polarities are correct! Really, I can't stress this enough Double and triple check before gluing. Also, use same polarities for mounts of both controllers, so they can be used interchangeably (this can be helpful if you need to swap them, for any reason). Let the glue dry/cure fully - neodymium magnets are quite strong, and we don't want them to pop out mid-game And please refer to the photo of assembled stock for reference on how the pieces come to life together.
