Oculus Quest 2 angled magnetic grip and stock

thingiverse

I was not happy with grip/mount combination for this stock and did not find what I was seeking in the remixes. XaviXV was on track but did not have a controller mount for the Quest 2. Credit to tigerflip for designing the controller portion of the grips as I could not have made this without that. This remix is an angled magnetic connection making it easier to feel the grips lock in place while wearing the headset. There are two rail mount receiving blocks posted for two different magnet sizes, 1.26" (32mm) and 0.98" (25mm). This allows a stronger magnet on the rearward hand than the forward hand and thus making it easier to break the forward hand free ( to reload, deploy grenade, heal, etc.). I also found it difficult to find magnets with the poles aligned to be mounted (with the taper portion for the flat head screw) facing each other. To save the cost of two more unnecessary magnets, the controller receiver's cylinder (where the opposing magnet would go) is deepened to hold approximately six 1.25" (5/8" thickness) flat washers held with a flat head screw. This also gives the option of using less washers to lessen the magnetic force if desired. The screw holes in the controller receiver and the rail mounts are 2.8mm in diameter. I also did not like the original stock. While I was waiting for the controller receivers and rail mounts to print, I drew up a new stock as well. As stated in the comments, this entire rail design is a bit of a nightmare to print and needs plenty of supports. Due to the tight controller wraparound, this remix is no different. I printed the controller receivers standing upright and thus needed bridge supports for the underside edges where it meets the rail mount. I had no issue with printing this with PLA+ with 5% gyroid infill. I've also used regular PLA but bumped it to 10% gyroid infill. The rail mounts can be printed on their sides without supports. I had no issue with printing this with PLA+ with 10% gyroid infill. I've also used regular PLA but bumped it to 15% gyroid infill. The stock is designed to be printed standing on the flat back edge with the only supports on the small ledges on the connection portion to the stock. The hole for the pin in the connection portion creates an easy splitting opportunity on this part. I did not have a breaking issues when printing with PLA+ at 15% gyroid infill but did have issues when printing with normal PLA. Despite my best efforts to increase the strength of the problem area by increasing the number of perimeters and the infill percentage, I could never make the part as strong as I wanted when printing with normal PLA. For this reason I recommend printing this part with PETG or at least PLA+. Finally, when printing the pins for this design, I limited the four pins for the rail mounts to be 30mm in length when slicing. These remixed rail mounts have a larger cylinder cut out of the magnet side allowing the pin heads to be inserted flush.
