Modular Pistol Stand Riser

thingiverse

I wanted to make a modular pistol stand that I could customize for each gun. Each stand requires three pieces - a universal base (found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3685466), plus a customized vertical muzzle support and pistol grip base (this thing.) You simply need to measure or lookup some basic size information and Thingiverse will spit out a customized STL for your pistol. The following measurements will be needed for your pistol: Muzzle bottom height Muzzle top height Muzzle width Muzzle bottom "roundness" Grip base width Grip base length Grip base angle Grip base "roundness" You can generally find these measurements on the manufacture's site or you can use a ruler or calipers to measure them. All measurements are in millimeters. "Roundness" is a little trickier to measure - it controls how rounded the corners are on the cutouts for the muzzle and grip base. Higher roundness = more of a circle. Low or zero roundness = squared edges. A roundness of 3 equals a 3mm diameter relief. You may have to experiment a bit to find the value that grips your pistol best. Grip base angle refers to the angle of the grip bottom when the muzzle is held horizontally. Positive values raise the butt end higher. Zero is flat. Negative values may not work properly (after about -3 it will start to cut through the bottom of the base insert.) It would be great if people could publish their customized stands and name them after their gun model - I would love to see a full library of pre-measured stands ready to be downloaded and printed! Edit - adding custom .stl files for pistols with strange muzzle cutouts 1 - I added a customized 1911 stand. This is for a classic colt 1911. 2 - Added a Yugoslavian M57 TT Tokarev stand. This model uses Daniel Upshaw's excellent roundedcube.scad module. I had to include it into the .scad file since Thingiverse doesn't allow external libraries in the customizer. This module was not written by me! https://danielupshaw.com/openscad-rounded-corners/
