3D Printable Fixed Iron Sights

— MIGRATED FROM MY OLD THINGIVERSE ACCOUNT — 

So I really needed a pair of Iron sights for my gun, but the previous sights I made ( the folding sights at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:603954) are really a pain in the ass to get to print properly, mainly because when I designed them, I didn't have a printer... 0 % experience in 3D printing... Soo I designed everything without any tolerances.

I have not abandon the folding sights, but it just takes a while to fix the files I made.

They are designed to work with other commercial iron and reddot sights at a default height of 35 mm from the top of the rails.

As the title says, they are fixed sights, aka nonadjustable.

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

RepRap

Printer: 

Custom printer

Supports:

No

Resolution: 

0.25 mm

Infill:

20% Archimededean

Notes:

These are the settings that I used to make the models shown in the pictures. You don't have to use those settings. The main thing is that you don't need supports.

They are made to be a "snug fit", so no screws or bolts are needed, I printed the file at 98% scale to get a really good fit. So keep in mind then you download them they might be too loose at first.

Print them half way in 100% scale, and see if they need to be bigger or smaller, and then scale them.
