Print Settings & Materials
- Filament: Use the most rigid material possible, like PAHT-CF or PA6-GF. This is crucial for the extension arms so they don't flex under load.
- Settings: Printing the arms can be tricky. Use the included .3mf file to see my specific slicer orientations and supports.
- Pro-Tip: Don't want to print it yourself? Use a service like JLC3DP to print the parts in SLS 3401GB Nylon. It costs ~$100 CAD shipped for enough parts to build 2 complete bipods.
Assembly & Post-Processing
- Use small files or drill bits to manually size the pin holes for a snug, rotating fit.
- Test fit parts with dowel pins in place and adjust spring lengths
- Sand the extension arms until they slide completely smoothly inside the main body.
- Dry-fit all parts, pins, and springs to ensure mechanisms actuate properly before final assembly, glue angle adjustment button when satisified.
