Valve Index Ghetto GunStock (strong, cheap, quick to print)

prusaprinters

Designed this Valve Index Gunstock because all the other pedal like controller parts on Thingiverse were too flimsy and brittle to be used by me (at least in PLA). Plus I was too lazy to print out the entire stock length on my 20x20x20 printer. So I designed this for a 60-70cm long, 28,4mm diameter wooden Staff, commonly found in the Drapes and Curtains section of any halfway decent Hardware store. Add about 6x M4x30 Screws with M4 Nuts and this set should stay pretty firm in Position. Once mounted on the staff, cut out some aluminum foil in the size of the Curved Pedal like grip Panels. DIY Instructions: Carefully heat the pedal like structures with a heatgun set to 1. Once the PLA becomes formable, put the Aluminumfoil on it and now carefully place your Valve Index Knuckles controller in the Position you want, hold it for a few seconds or blast the hot piece of plastic with some air from a Compressor. Voila! you now have a sturdy and solid adapted pedal for your Knuckles controllers to rest in. It could even be formed into your most comfortable holding Position. Incase your Knuckles controller dont register any grips anymore, try to space the beams of the pedal further apart, you controllers should registers a grip again. Disclaimer: I am not responsible for you or your stupidity, if you burn yourself or your knuckles controllers you better get your genes out of this pool. Print Settings Printer: Renkforce RF 100 XL Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0,15 - 0,25 Infill: 15-25 Filament: Stronghero 3D PLA Blue / Red Notes: 220°C Extrudertemp Rafts: not needed Supports: only for the stock if you print it upwards like me. Dont overtighten the Screws!!! Post-Printing Ghetto Stock Assemble You need: electric Heatgun or Gasstove aluminum foil (12cm x 7cm, 2 or 3 layerd) some thin gloves if you are squeamish Left and Right Index Knuckles Controllers 6M4x30 screws and 6 M4 Nuts (wooden) Curtain Staff 28,4mm Diameter, Length (as long as you need it to be) Heat the Grips up over a gasstove flame or with a low powered heatgun (with PLA even a hairdryer works). Dont make the plastic too hot and be careful that the beams of the pedal dont stick to each other. Caution from here on out!!! Once malleable, strap on your Index Knuckles controller and form the PLA pedal onto the contours of your Index Grip. Cool the formed Grip by blowing some air on it. Repeat for second controller.
