Barnett Crossbow Bolt (Arrow) Retainer Spring

UPDATE 03/2017: Just to let everyone know; The little woman has had one of these on here crossbow for several months now. It has held up well, much longer than the stock one. It was printed in ABS, I broke the one on my bow by accident, but replaced it with one printed in PLA, it should last longer than ABS, the ABS was too brittle. Currently, I think between the two of us, we have well over 200 shots using these springs, I hope you like it. I originally got the idea from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1170347. I had trouble getting mine to print successfully, apparently my printer hardware setting were way out. Finally got that fixed, printed one for my girlfriends bow and one for mine. We will see how they hold up. This version is designed from scratch with added stiffener. Print Settings Printer: Duplicator I3 Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: .2mm Infill: 100% Notes: If printing ABS use a raft, PLA doesn't need one. The part has a very small profile of 4.5 mm which isn't enough to prevent warping during print
