Fun with 3D Printers

[philintheblank]

Ok, I picked up one of the Ender 3's. Anyone have some cool files they'd care to share?

Go to thingiverse.com and search for things like ultralight, hunting, camping, and you will find all kinds of free plans.

Love 3D printing. I have made countless useful shooting/reloading/tripod/etc gadgets. One of my favorites are some simple bino caps that are super durable and have saved my glass numerous times. Great for dumping them in a hurry and not having to worry about what they might land on when you set them down.

Nice work on those lens caps!! On a side note, how do you like the geovids? I am considering the same ones.

I got a 3d printer from Santa and have been making some cool things!

I like them a lot! Glass and laser are great. The Bluetooth to kestrel is just okay, but I also don't use it very much as I run hard dope instead (NRL Hunter matches). If the onboard ballistics is an important feature for you, the new Leica Pro series has AB Elite on board and they are making a 10x42 option (supposedly). If you aren't as interested in AB Elite, the glass and laser on the 3200.com is excellent and will serve you very well and they do have the on board Leica Ballistics app, which isn't great but it is definitely usable inside 800 or so yards..and of course the ability to link to a Kestrel if you have one that has link.

Awesome thanks! I’ll check those out

3D printers are awesome! I have an Ultimaker. Some of the outdoor related things I’ve made (the arrow saw was the most work):

Any chance you’d be willing to share the file for the brass catcher, arca rifle rest and arrow holder?
My son and I just went in together on a printer.

We got in trouble for people filling out a checklist in colorful pens. The excuse was I didn't have a black pen. No more excuses as this sits next to the form on the door lol.

Printed a spacer for my new (to me) Tight Spot 7 Arrow quiver. Normally the sight mount is the the spacer, but I'm utilizing the Bridge-Lock system for dovetails on my Mathews V3x.

The spacer is thinner, lighter, and wider than the sight mount and the extra width reduces the quiver flex a little since it fully supports the back of the QD mount.

Got inspiration from the range finder clip thread that was recently posted here

Rangefinder holder

I used a CB radio microphone hanger and button (The round thing that mounts to the CB mic) to make the perfect rangefinder holder that I mounted to my bino harness. This allows me to mount the rangefinder up high minimizing arm movement and keeping it away from other gear. I also never have to...

So I printed the holder and a backer plate so I could attach with some 2M cap screws.

Used some random bolts and washers to make the tab and some good quality 2 sided tape to attached to my rangefinder.

Works pretty slick, thanks again to the OP for posting about their sweet setup.
