Description
This is a four-color pair of cover plates for the sides of a Hi-Point rifle stock, with symbolism from the Michigan USA flag. “Tuebor” means “defense”, and is incorporated into the Michigan flag with a silhouette of a man standing on a peninsula holding a rifle. The latin state motto translates to, “If you seek a pleasant peninsula, you'd be home by now” (rough translation, yeah).
I printed this using “camoflage” colors in PLA using an Original Prusa i3 Mk2 MMU1 at 20mm/sec with a 0.1mm layer height and a 0.25mm nozzle… which took about three days per side, but the results were worth it. With a minimum of polishing, it adds a minor touch of beauty to an otherwise inexpensive rifle prioritizing function over form.
Four 3mmx25 metric machine screws with nylon-insert locknuts are needed to bolt it onto the rifle, and the screws are cut to length.
I don't think a lot of people will be interested in printing this particular model, but I am including the blank panel models with hope that they can be used to make additional panels with (legally reproducable!) logos for Hi-Point rifles.
