Throw lever for 44.5mm dial / vortex strike eagle 1x8

thingiverse

I'm just starting out with Fusion 360, so bear with me. I was trying to get the throw lever to fit right without any hassle, but it wasn't cooperating - I'd have to use bolts and nuts, which is more work than I wanted. So, I designed my own throw lever that you should be able to tap into place using a small plastic hammer. It's printed in ABS at 100% infill (cubic) without any supports. Supports can mess up the print, and this one was no exception. This lever has worked for me on both my Vortex Viper PST Gen1 6x24 by 50 and my Vortex Strike Eagle 1x8, but it might also work with other scopes that have a 44.5mm zoom dial. If you run into any problems or the lever breaks, let me know so I can figure out what's going on - so far, so good for me.
