Because Thingiverse is bugged, please download from my printables: https://www.printables.com/model/307706-pnv-10t-improved-dovetail-adapter # PNV-10T Dovetail adapter ### Description/ Instructions This adapter allows you to mount your PNV-10T to modern dovetail interfaces. it is a improved version of my earlier design, which was first prototyped by jokuvaan223 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5564856) with this it is possible to attach your PNV-10T cheaply and pretty securly with the use of repro Wilcox G24 mounts. (I personally use the sotac one) to ensure tight fit with as many mounts as possible, there is an adjustable screw encorperated into the design. This mechanism was inspiered by the adjustable thightness dovetail J-Arm made by radiactive (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5437655) ### Needed materials adjustable M5 Bolt (overall Length 25mm, Thread lenght 25mm) M5 Nut M3x35 bolt Ballpoint Pen Spring fixed M5 Bolt (overall Length 15mm, Thread lenght 10mm) M5 Bolt (overall Length 25mm, Thread lenght 25mm) 2x M5 Nut ### compatibility tested with Sotac g24 repro DIY Rhino II PYRM Repro LNVG mount Lowsto repro mount ### Printing You should have a pretty good calibrated printer to start with, specific settings aren't that important, as this adapter recieve to much stress. I printed my example with a wall count of 16, but i don't believe this is really necessary. The reccomended print oriantation can be seen in the "print orientation.png" in the media folder. After printing remove the supports structures and put in the M5 Nut and the M5 Bolt, put the adapter on your Nvg and thighten the screw until the adapter is secure. You will need to screw in the M3 Bolt into the locking block, this can be kinda tricky, i recommend you do it first outside of the adapter and then undo it to insert it only after you already started cutting the threads in the locking block.
