3dprinted co-axial rifle rest

[JGSFAB]

Version 1 using a bunch of leftover linear parts from projects. Printed on my qidi X-maxx3 with Elegoo PLAplus. Prob 50+hours of printing. Gear driven lead screw course elevation, rest has 1.5in recoil slide, +/- 0.5 in joystick motion (1yard any direction at 100yds). Base will angle for gun alingment.
Joystick will have an adjustable counter balance, maybe a lock able friction plate.

Already working out ways to make it simpler and better. Not bad for a first stab tho.

A quick 1913 adapter for now, buying more ARCA plates and I have a nice ARCA clamp to install on a different slider.
Added a friction plate for the X-Y stick as well.

I've got a new X-Y head that is way simpler and cheaper to build, Stay tuned.

ARCA clamp, left side carriage brake (between the bearing housings, will get stud and thumb screw) and weighted counter balance (filled with shot).

With the rest sliding and the recoil stock sliding - gun moves back and forth , you do not. Felt rock solid on my flexy portable bench. 12 yard not much of a test besides gun motion. Cant control was great.

Test assembling what I have so far.

Trimmed some parts down to fit 250mm printers.

Got me feeling below average rocking a 220mm bed.

Might be a sign more prints = faster.
Just got an Anycubic Kobra S1 combo , pretty neat for $600. Sovol makes a really affordable big printer (06?).

Very cool concept and design!

For me my car jack has been serving me well for the past 30 years.
