Thread: DIY 3D printed torch mount for scope

Thought I'd share a little project I've been working on, had the issue of trying to mount my coyote cannon IR torch which weighs in at 840g (with a centre of mass far forward of the rear tube) without having a huge cantilevered stress on the scope. Out came fusion 360 and the 3d printer and with a few iterations I think it's good to go, mounts very firmly and it doesn't wobble around at all even when you shake the rifle. Cost $6.76 in PETG and took 6.5 hours to print. Surprisingly strong as well, after one failed iteration I had to smash it to get the nut out and it required many smacks with the hammer before it broke apart. Also making one for a member (without the front section) for a spotlight that's less difficult to mount.

Nice work, that is one of those "it's so simple and obvious, why didn't I think of it" ideas.
