Description
New Paddle designed and shared at: Clocking Holster Paddle by Sheisster | Download free STL model | Printables.com
Paddle and cogs are remix from FileFoundry's PT-111 Holster files. Holster is designed with a finger release and easy mount locking mechanism.
Paddle printed on side with tree supports - 70% infill ... little stiff, heated spine and flexed some tension out of it...still playing with print dynamics.
I did match this up to my paddle listed above and feels really comparable to my BH with G23 matchup.
Parts not printed:
M4 x 10mm Binder Bolt for connecting holster to paddle
2.5mm x 42mm steel pin for hinge point of finger lock
Springs made from music wire for finger release/lock - still working on the tension on this, currently using 2x directional 1mm (4 wrap) coiled torsion springs fitted within pockets of the finger release and the holster. Next rendition will be made from 0.8mm.
EDIT:
Springs are 0.7mm 5 wrap relaxed at 120 degree and custom bent/trimmed to match holster and release pockets.
TIPS (Tolerance Levels are Tight):
Print Holster Muzzle on bed - tree supports if you can tolerate the slicing time. Glass bed is best.
Print the finger release pocket up with trees
Clean your supports VERY WELL - this was designed with tight tolerance.
0.7mm 5 wrap relaxed at 120 degree and custom bent/trimmed to match holster and release pockets.
Use a 100 x 2.5mm steel pin for mock up - once you are happy with fitment and tension on release, I recommend using a diamond wheel on a Dremel or hacksaw with metal blade … cutting the hinge pin ~ 43mm in length - depending if you have material wedge in the pocket, there may be a little grinding a the tip… remember to heat & add material when replacing hinge to seal it in place.
When happy with hinge-pin settings and fittings, I recommend taking left-over support material and meeting over the holster side of the exposed pin. This will seal it in place and reduce risk of it walking out.
Also - if you find yourself needing to change springs - cut the finger release in pieces with relief cuts around the pin and pluck out the pin - once cut & set, the PIN is near impossible to remove.
