thingiverse

A custom lightweight stock for VR FPS games, perfect for Onward and Standout enthusiasts. Print the following components: 1. Butt 2. Base blocks 3. Latches 4. Guide rails (2) 5. Tube end 6. Drill guide (print half or 3/4 of it for evenly spaced holes) You'll also need to find grips on Thingiverse that fit your controller, ensuring the bottom is FLAT for a strong bond with base blocks. To complete this stock, gather: 1. 2 springs (available in packs on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XPG813G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) 2. A 24-inch aluminum or carbon fiber tube with a 1" outer diameter; you can cut it to your desired length, but printing an extra guide rail for taller users is recommended. 3. Two 8x0.75-inch flat-head aluminum screws (Hillman) from Lowe's: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-8-x-0-75-in-Flat-Head-Aluminum-Standard-Phillips-Drive-Interior-Exterior-Standard-SAE-Binding-Post-Screw/3012651 4. Two 8x1.5-inch flat-head aluminum screws (Hillman) from Lowe's: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-8-x-1-5-in-Flat-Head-Aluminum-Standard-Phillips-Drive-Interior-Exterior-Standard-SAE-Binding-Post-Screw/3702838 Assembly is relatively straightforward. Push the butt onto the tube and drill through the two holes, then install the long threaded post to hold it in place. You may need to lightly sand the hole or the tube for a snug fit. Next, glue the guide rails together with super glue, then attach them to the tube by applying super glue to the flat side of the rail and pressing it onto the tube. Trim excess guide rail from the end of the tube, making sure it's flush and neat-looking. Use the drill guide to mark evenly spaced holes on the tube; you can use a punch in each hole before moving the guide. Once all holes are marked, drill them out with a 1/4-inch drill bit. A drill press is recommended, but a good center punch will do. Now, drill out the holes in the base block and latches to match the threaded post size. Place a spring in the top hole of each latch and attach it to the tube using the shorter threaded post. Finally, glue your grips to the base blocks, making sure to lightly sand areas that will come into contact before gluing. Slide the base block onto the tube, and you're all set!
