Others like BackFire are 3D printing recoil pads so it is definitely possible3D printing with multiple materials in one print is possible, but I don't have the setup for it. I will have to make the comb adapter and the buttpad two separate pieces. I like your aluminum adapter plate idea, as it would allow me to avoid having a crazy tall buttpad that won't fit in my rifle sling, and the cushion from the current buttpad is likely to be better than anything I print out of TPU. However, I am curious to see how good I could get it by using some sort of honeycomb structure to absorb the recoil.
Edit: Honeycomb would likely shave a few ounces as well......
Oh that’s super cool! Thanks for bringing them up. My project won’t be near as scientific as their stuff, but that’s an awesome reference point.Others like BackFire are 3D printing recoil pads so it is definitely possible
Do not confuse science with the appearance of science.Oh that’s super cool! Thanks for bringing them up. My project won’t be near as scientific as their stuff, but that’s an awesome reference point.
