Oculus Touch Modular Gun Rig [OcToMoGuRi]

Description

{Updated 02.14.2017 -- See [Custom Section](Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2108731#Custom-Section) For Notes} The Octomoguri Is A Severely Overly-Engineered Solution To A Simple Problem. Since The Dawn Of Touch Mankind Has Desired To Tie Their Hands To Sticks To Shoot Imaginary Steel Blow-Darts At Each Other. Now, Finally, This Future Is Here. All Kidding Aside, I Decided To Start Working On A Modular Gun Rig That Just Makes Sense For The 3D Printing Community. The Oculus Touch Vr Hand Tracking System In Particular Has Been Lacking In Cheap, Effective Designs So I Started My Focus There. Technically There'S Nothing Stopping Anyone From Making A Compatible Screw-Bar Mount For Other Systems, And I May Do So Myself In The Future. Of Note, This Project Is Open For Development In A Non-Commercial Sense; I Always Think Printed Designs Sound Remain Free Rather Than Up-Charged For Online Sale. The Main Screw-Bar And Thumb Screws Are The Basis Of This Project. The Threads Are Sturdy M20X2.5 M-Tooth Ansi Style, And If You'Re Lucky Enough To Use Metric You May Even Find The Same Components In A Local Hardware Store For Metal Components. This Specific Thread Type Makes For A Lot Of Friction Fitting, Such That With Plastic At Least, The Thumb Screws Can Be Counter-Tightened To Either Side Of An Attachment And It Will Hold Damn Near Forever. Attachments Should Fit A 20Mm Tall By 12.25Mm Wide (And In My Case 50Mm Long) Slot. The Fit Can Be A Bit Snug If You Like, As You Can Move The Parts Around With The Assistance Of Thumb Screws If Needed. The Tighter, The Sturdier. Just Don'T Go So Tight That You Strip The Threads From The Screw-Bar. For Reference, I'Ve Used 3Mm Thickness For The Walls Of My Attachment Sliders And Seen Zero Flex Or Failures So Far Since They Were Mostly Solid. This Seems Like The Magic Starting Point. The Oculus Touch Components Are Printed A Tad Thinner Where Possible To Reduce The Occlusion Of The Controller Tracking Rings. I'Ve Tried Even A Tad Thicker And Seen Noticeably Worse Results, And Thinner Seems To Be Too Weak Without Printing Solid Plastic. You Can Try To Tweak The Models To Fit Your Needs, But I Think I Found A Good Balance Here. However This Complicates Printing By Design, So Please Check The Print And Post Sections For Details. I'D Love To Hear Feedback So I Can Tweak My Design Or Add Extra Components. Currently Planned Is An Ris Rail Block For Fitting Custom Stocks And Additional Grips. I'D Love To Hear About More Ideas. Have Fun!
