Rifle Controller for HTC Vive

thingiverse

The Rifle Controller for HTC Vive is designed for use with room scale controllers and the HTC Vive VR headset. Based on remixes of several Things listed in Remix Sources below, this Thing aligns perfectly with rifle stocks in-game. Testing has shown that the rifle shoulder stock nearly aligns perfectly with in-game rifle stocks. To achieve proper alignment, users must first grab the front of the in-game rifle just before placing the front controller into the controller holder. Once the rifle is held with two hands and controllers are in place, the rifle will align properly in the game. A steady, immersive, and accurate gaming experience can be achieved by using this controller. However, due to CC licensing compatibility issues, bolt/nut and rifle stock parts are not included with this Thing. Users must obtain required parts from other sources: * Bolt & nut - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1696645 * Rifle shoulder stock - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1696655 The fully assembled rifle controller requires 14 bolts and nuts. Print Settings: Printer Brand: MakerGear Printer: M2 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 50% Some parts may require supports from the bed during printing. Post-Printing: If using full supports or depending on printer calibration, users may need to file away some plastic in bolt holes for better alignment. Assembly Considerations: Please be gentle when assembling as some parts may crack/break under stress if using too much force. When in doubt, file/sand where appropriate. I was able to fully assemble the rifle with only a small amount of filing to ease insertion of fragile plastic bolts. Note that printed bolts are intended to simply hold parts in place and add stability. If prints require squeezing components, consider using metal bolts or plastic shims for added stability. Assembly Instructions: Print each component that is part of this Thing. Print the shoulder stock Thing located here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1696655 Print 14 x nuts and bolts located here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1696645 Alternatively, purchase metal bolts - 4.5Mx30mm bolts and 4.5M nuts Using photos included with this Thing as a reference, assemble parts using plastic (or metal) bolts. Optionally attach a strap to the strap holder loops found on the Stock Attachment and Front Barrel parts. Load up H3VR, Out of Ammo, or your favorite Vive compatible shooter and achieve new high scores! How I Designed This: This part was remixed using Autodesk 123D Design. Remix Sources: Nut & bolt - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:193647 Shoulder Stock - https://tinkercad.com/things/0arKMQnQear Rifle controller components - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1642874 Known Issues: In H3VR, when using the Sako 85 you may need to remove Vive remotes from the controller in order to reload due to rifle stock parts getting in the way. Also with the Sako 85 you may find that the rifle doesn't line up perfectly. It seems the bolt action rifle in H3VR has slightly different alignment than the M4A1, AK, etc.
