Thankyou for developing & publishing the files for this rest. I will be making this my first serious project after Xmas when I receive a 3D printer. As I shoot off a bipod I will be adapting this as a replacement rear bag rig for use when I am doing load development.
As I said in another comment reply... The bearings and linear rail are listed in the description. The rest is just whatever m3, m4 and m6 bolts you can find at your local hardware store. This is a proof of concept though and a full "down to the last detail" parts list would be misleading and I would end up with people complaining that they built it using my parts list and it didn't work.
Just adjust the drawings to whatever you can get your hands on. The full files are there. You can check the dimensions in the cad files and/or choose to change them as required. A lot of people have chosen to modify my designs to better meet their own requirements before printing. 3d printing isn't precise and there may need to be some adjustment to get parts to fit and slide smoothly. 10 thou here or there can add up.
I was just using PLA mainly because it prints very cleanly for me. I've been using PETG lately for a lot of things but it's quite stringy for me and will need extra work but it's strength is impressive so it's sometimes worth the tradeoff

Links to the bearings and linear rail are in the description. The rest are just standard m4 bolts of varying length to assemble and M6 bolts and nuts for the handle/shaft. This version is just a concept that requires modification.
The issue is that we need some stability and the plastic wouldn't be heavy enough to be stable. Maybe something involving some steel piping and 3d printed bracing would work. I'm actually thinking of getting a local machine shop to cut me out some steel plate in the right shape. The other thing we need is some gross vertical adjustment. I'm still pondering how to do that too.
@@herukusmartono8960 I predominantly shoot fclass so higher is normally a good thing for me. The first design was very high i admit that. The second i tried to get lower and did succeed somewhat with that. It sounds like you're leaning towards a base design like the seb mini. That should definitely be achievable with 3d printing and now that i think about it it's probably the right way to go for this. I've just seen something else that could be good for 3d printing. A rodzilla 5 axis top.
This is really for anyone that has a 3D printer. I would be very cautious about selling these due to a number of reasons. For a start it's still experimental at this point. We don't know how well this will last under regular shooting conditions. It doesn't have good base options yet to attach it to. I've got a couple of old caldwell rests i can use but not everyone has that option and the fitment requires customisation. The base is probably the more important component as it's not easy to DIY one. On a positive note... for a fraction of the cost of a farley or seb rest you could buy an entire Ender 5 3D printer and make it yourself.
