DIY Brush Arrow Rest for Compound Bows (Using Toothbrushes)

thingiverse

Printed using an Elegoo Mars with ABS-Like Resin. FDM should work as well, though. The brushes were taken from a popular brand (see pictures) The connecting bolt needs to be attached to the arrow receptacle after printing. Super glue worked fine for me but adding a screw might be a good option for others. Note the orientation of the fletching! I'll add a second variant soon. -------------------- Update, August 24th 2020 : Now, that I was able to try it on the range, I can say that it works nicely. The arrow cleared the rest and went into the target without noticeable deflection. HOWEVER, PRINTING THE MOUNTING BIT (arrow_rest_mount.stl) IN RESIN WAS A POOR CHOICE. After the arrow was released, the excessive vibrations of the bow destroyed the part. I added a new variant and printed in in PETG, which should work much better. The part is called "Arrow_Rest_Mount_no_markings.STL" as the little notches can obviously not be achieved in FDM-Printing.
