WTB XLR Envy Bag Rider (3D Print model?)

[littlepod]

Hey everyone, looking for the XLR Envy Bag Rider 3D print model. I want to lighten up the rear for my rimfire rifle so looking to get one 3D printed. I have access to a 3D printer, so just need the .stl file or sketch file etc. If you have one you're willing to share let me know, or let me know the price to buy it.

Thanks!

 

[Boltman82]

I'd buy one too! Great idea!

 

[Getagrip_customs]

I’m also interested

Can you take some measurements? Mounting hole spacing, dimension of the” wedge”

 

[StrayDog]

Interested as well.

XLR Tactical Bag Rider

Anyone have one of these that can tell me the distance between mount holes center to center?

www.snipershide.com

.375" from the back of the stock, means to the center of the first hole.

Angle / design etc your choice.

Other measurements -

Littlepod, check PM for link to solid model doc

I'd personally put a hole through it and glue in a rod of some sort to stiffen it

 

[Birch7]

Insert carbon arrow shaft section, drill thru mount holes, taper cut shaft end=alot of work to do cleanly. I'm not sure how much flex is induced using it as a bag rider.

First one on printer now.

what filament are you using?

 

[Birch7]

At the moment, some remnant powder blue solutech PLA

I'm fairly new to 3D printing, bought one when I retired... I have solutech OD PLA, esun black PETG, and a little creality black PLA right now, with some esun orange PLA+ on the way

It's very fun and addictive, up to 4 printers now. Get yourself a student copy of Solidworks or Fusion and you can really design some stuff. I stick to solutech and overture (not matte), as they are dependable. My PETG sits on the shelf, as the extra material strength was never enough to overcome the inconsistent layer adhesion-in my experience.

I have Fusion... I use PETG for Jeep parts for the thermal resistance

used fusion to model drawer inserts for my rolling toolbox in the garage

OAL is 6". Waiting on OP to test print fitment on stock. Will be printing in black and offering for sale once I upgrade my account to PX.

Shouldn't be necessary if printed in the proper orientation and print settings. Should be printed with the holes parallel to the print bed and have 5 or so walls depending on the nozzle diameter.

I mostly print with CF PETG and that stuff is strong.

yeah... CF PETG may not need it, but PLA?

 

[littlepod]

I run 3D printed bag riders for my MDT ACC, and I have no issues with it breaking. I think these are just PLA prints. My friend upgraded his printer and printed me one in some carbon/nylon print thread which is supposedly stronger but I never had issues with either.

 

[littlepod]

This is the one I was trying to model from, I think it might look a little taller, and wider?

 

[godofthunder]

PLA would be fine too, it is a more brittle though so wouldn't handle impacts as well. It is a stiff material though.

 

[Birch7]

The profile on this print is .8” square. Printed with 1.6mm walls at 20% infill, weight is 23 grams. I am able to get the slightest deflection when really torquing it by hand. Going to print final version with 2mm walls and 30% infill.
I have been beating on printed PLA arca rails, riders, bag plates and small parts on my competition guns for the past 2 years. As long as there is sufficient material/bracing to limit flex, parts can be quite durable when designed and printed well. The only thing I would worry about is warpage when leaving in a hot car in the summer, or using the buttstock as a club. No problems riding a bean bag or even as a grab handle.

 

[Birch7]

Agreed on print orientation, godofthunder. Printed test 90* to limit supports

 

[Boltman82]

Did you guys ever make one yet? How did it work out?

 

[BiggBeans]

Following. Id be interested in one too.

 

[godofthunder]

I just picked up an XLR stock for some stuff, I'll design a bag rider and post a link to download on this thread. Not sure I will sell them but will at least make the file free for people to print if they want.

Free STL file available to download on my website. https://bit.ly/XLR_BAGRIDER

I’m new to having files for download here so I’ll work on making it more user friendly. It is what it is for now as I’m busy.

Also, I’m doing to record a video of me doing this parametrically and post the design file once done so you will be able to modify features as you see fit - fully customizable.

 

[Dr. Davy Jones]

This is sweet! Thanks for taking this on and sharing for free!

No problem! I've got some other stuff I'm working on that I'll be posting up for free download as well.

I’m just getting into 3D printing. I do have found the community of printers very welcoming as you have demonstrated.

 

[SoCalRayJr]

I find PLA to be really strong, I have printed a 90deg grip and a bag rider for my RPR...both work great.

 

[Average guy]

I’m printing a lot of petg. I’m having great luck at slower travel speeds and about 65 percent fan.

I pretty much exclusively print PETG - mostly CF filled. I love PETG as a material for a lot of things, very versatile.

The file didn’t have the dimensions set in it. Can you share how big it is supposed to be (L W H) so it prints the correct size?

 

[godofthunder]

It's likely saved in inches, and slicing softwares use mm (mine auto corrects this). If it is super tiny, scale it up by 25.4 times its current size.

 

[SoCalRayJr]

L=101.6mm
W=20.32mm
H=25.4mm

Hope this helps

Ray

 

[Tritiumdials]

The printed bag rider works great. Thanks @godofthunder

 

[SoCalRayJr]

If we have a couple interested hide members.... I made two of these and I'd be willing to send them out if you cover shipping.

Ray

 

[SoCalRayJr]

Both gone...Enjoy

 

[Eric32]

Anyone print some more bag riders

 

[littlepod]

I'd like an exact replica of the aluminum one printed. I have the aluminum one for CF, but want a lite 3D print for my rimfire. The 3D printed models so far have been different in dimensions compared to the actual alu one from XLR.

 

[Jabot]

Interested in these as well, following

 

[BoulderE89]

I can make anyone who wants an XLR bag rider one. I made some for my buddies for the hunter series to help them keep weight. PM me if you want one

 

[Thesepaperwings]

Send info

Does anyone have a 3D file for an xlr thumb rest. I’d like to print a couple just can’t find a file.
