prusaprinters

<p>The WARTHOG is the first open-source, 3D-printable night vision mounting system ever created.</p><p><strong>Features:</strong></p><ul><li>Tough wide-body design</li><li>Dovetail-stlye slot compatible with most NVGs</li><li>Single-button folding system for stowing device on top of the helmet</li><li>Two-button eye distance adjustment</li><li>Screw-secured height adjustment</li><li>Slider-release standard NVG shroud mount</li><li>Requires only off-the-shelf nuts, bolts and metal springs</li><li>Fully parametric</li></ul><p>The market for NVG mounting systems currently isn't very budget-friendly, taking away valuable budget from any new purchase of a night vision setup.</p><p>The WARTHOG aims to improve this situation by allowing anyone to 3D print a fully functional and tough NVG mounting system with negligible production cost, while providing a secure platform to mount even heavier binocular devices.</p><p>For any requests or feedback, find me on Discord: Markus#1503.</p><p>The CAD design is currently not available publicly, but might be in the future.</p><h3>Disclaimer</h3><p>Do not, I repeat, do not rely on this mount alone when mounting your expensive equipment. Always use in combination with a lanyard or other safety measure in case the mount fails. Do not blame me for broken equipment or toes.</p><h3>Known Issues</h3><ul><li>Eye distance adjustment currently goes from "very far" to "medium" distance but not closer. Will be fixed in next version.</li><li>No pitch adjustment. Currently the angle between the sled and the shroud mount is 112°. I can provide files for the connector part with different angles if needed. Future versions might come with pitch adjustment.</li></ul><h3>Assembly</h3><p>See the <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NejpL_fhWZOMTBt9t-dLtOY-cCIQJ-R0zfCnfCjdcJo">Assembly Instructions</a>!</p>
