UPDATE 11-8-2023: Version 2 of the Serenity Quest-3 VR Rifle Stock has been posted with multiple improvements: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6303717This is Version-1 of the "Serenity Quest-3 VR Rifle Stock" for the New Quest-3 Hand-Controllers. It still works great for VR Gaming, and a few people prefer the sharper angles on this Version-1 stock over the newer, flatter, Version-2.(For the last Version of the Quest-2 VR Rifle Stocks, Go HERE: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6029933)Requires approximately 300mm of 7mm O.D. (3mm-5mm I.D.) Aluminum Pipe (Amazon has it).About 127mm-157mm of 8mm O.D. (3mm-5mm I.D.) Aluminum Pipe. Four 3mm nuts/bolts/washers. Hand Controllers with Silicon "Knuckle-Strap" Covers work best with these for a "No-Slip" fit. This is a VERY stable VR Stock! We've been using these nightly in Population:One and Breachers since the Quest-3 was released and they hold up Great.. They really improve scores! This stock leaves both hands free to grab loot, throw grenades, etc. You forget the stock is on the hand-controller after a few games. No need for rifle straps or magnets, etc.. We haven't taken them off the right-side hand controller since we put them on last week.I've printed 5-6 of these at 20% Infill with PLA, but I usually print them at 100% Infill so I don't have to worry that sanding or cutting may get into the infill, and it doesn't take much more time or Filament.Two of the parts have Built-In Supports in areas where Tree supports often fail, but You'll still want some light Tree Supports "Touching Build-Plate" probably. The Built-In Supports can easily be snapped off after printing. Warm the areas of PLA where the Aluminum pipes are held in place, and seat the Nuts/Bolts firmly while the PLA is warm, there should be NO wiggling or twisting of parts. Don't JAM the hand controller down into the cup to begin with.. give the PLA time to form itself to the hand controller and within a few games it fits PERFECTLY and doesn't feel like it's going to fall off or anything. If you're paranoid, use the wrist strap to tie the hand controller to the bottom of the Cup, but we haven't had ANY of ours feel loose, or slip, etc. It's a pretty snug fit. The knuckle strap of a silicon hand-controller cover exits through an opening in the side of the "Cup" which ensures that the "Cup" isn't going to fall off even if it did slip downward. Additionally, Your right-hand's little finger will rest in a groove on the outside of the Cup which helps hold the cup in place on your right hand-controller... "It ain't goin nowhere" ;)I included two different Buttstock parts.. one short and one long. The Forestock has a "Closed Top" that presses the Left-Side Hand-Controller's Side-Trigger for you while you're shooting. I have an "Open-Top Forestock", but no one ever uses the Open-Top type any more after they start using the Closed-Top Forestock, so I didn't include it.
