12-30-2018 Get my new version 2.0 with adjustable windage and elevation here. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3319946 12-28-2018 New Version will be uploaded and I will be linking it the URL on here as I am keeping them separate. This will remain the Fixed version. I have a new version that allows Elevation and Windage adjustments and looks much better. It also allows you to choose a different color for the Site Ring. This new version will have several parts involved but works very nice and I think it looks great with this bow. I should have it up within the next 24 hours. Photo Teaser Included in comments. 12-26-2018 These are bow sights I decided to make since nobody had posted any and figured people would like to have that option added. First of all, thank you to DonStick3 for providing the bow files. You can get the bow here... https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2764962 Also thank you to Truglodite for the quiver file. I used version 2 which holds Skuers which can be purchased at a Walmart or Krogers in the US, unsure of what stores in other countries. You can get the quiver here.... https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2911984 Now lets move on to the sights.This may not be the final version, as I have yet to String the bow and have not tested sights yet with an actual skuer. I am in the process of making arrow heads and trying to find a way to put a fletching of some sort on the skuer for flight. I will share and post updates as I come up with ideas to perfect things. So..... This sight, you will want to add supports and I only added supports inside the circle. I placed 2 on each side making sure they are NOT touching the small pins inside. The round housing should prevent them from breaking if you bump the bow but they are Fragile. Adding color to the sight. Basically what I ended up doing is using "purged filament strips". So when you change filament and it spits out the filament to get filament ready, don't trash it and save it or change filament so you can get the color you want on your sights. The screws that hold it in place are M3 and the bracket has M3 nuts. Just line up your not with the hole and with a pair of small pliers that have a flat nose crimp nut into plastic. It does not take much pressure and will lock in place. Make sure you don't over do it so you don't damage or brake the bracket or the sights. The supports come off pretty easy with needle nose pliers. Again be very careful not to damage the pins in the middle. Using Gorilla Super Glue, I cut strips of different color filament after being purged and glued each color on to the sight as you can see in pics. I will update with links once I get arrow heads and fletching made. Hope this helps those who are looking to add sights to their bow whether to shoot it or just for looks. Good Luck !!!
