Recurve Archery Bow Sights (updated 2018)

thingiverse

I have modified and resized the original designs ad shared the files I've changed. The sight is for a recurve bow unfortunately I have not been able to attach it yet as the threads are clearly not metric so I will have to get the appropriate bolts and will then check the size. UPDATE 2018: printers and slicers get better and the new versions have closer tolerances but use the same screws, Mine needed to adjust lower so I moved it down, the new one is printed at 0.15 layers and is super smooth. If you want to see more and how I create prints and 3D designs like this check out my YouTube channel.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSHUc93NXGwBacoIDDqPU2w Instructions I have only published the parts I've modified please download the original design for additional parts. The screws required are m4 size threads for the sight adjustment. around 160mm for vertical and 60mm for horizontal should be sufficient. I printed it with a 26% infill and with a 2mm shell so the X beams are just about solid.I also cut 2mm off the bottom when printing in with cura and its strong enough but I left it thick so you can decide. Print time with above settings and at 50mm/s 0.25mm LH was about 4 hours. I used a M5 threaded rod for the larger screw as I couldn't find M3 in the required length the bottom nut is a nylock nut to keep it inplace at the top I have a standard nut and a wingnut adjusted to remove all slack and then tightened together, the adjustment is smooth actually much better than I anticipated.
