Nerf Longshot Inspired Scope - No Hardware

Hello everyone!

This is a toy scope that I designed to closely resemble the Nerf Longshot scope. I love the look of the Longshot scope, and I thought it would be fun to be able to print one in whatever colors I wanted. Additionally, once I had the main body of the model, I could make a version that fit a picatinny rail as well the version that fit a Nerf N-Strike rail. So, that's what I set out to do!

Printing Information

My goals for this project were to make the scope look as close to the original as possible while also making it easy to print and assemble. as well as keep it as inexpensive as possible. The sight consists of seven pieces for the Nerf Rail version and eight pieces for the Picatinny Rail version, and it requires no hardware to assemble. The Front Detail, Crosshairs, Top Detail, Back Detail, and Picatinny Pin shouldn't require any support material to print, and assuming your printer has decent bridging ability, the dial pieces should be able to be printed without support material as well. Both versions of the body will require some support, but only in areas that should make it easy to remove. I recommend the print orientations shown below for each part:

The crosshairs are not necessary to the build and can be omitted.  The Knurled Side Dial is the same on both sides, so that part will need to be printed twice, hence the "2X".

I did my best to get a nice press fit between all of the pieces, but depending on how tight your individual printer tolerances are and what materials you want to print these parts in, I have included the STEP and F3D files for all parts of the scope for you to adjust as needed.  Or, glue can always be used if the parts have a loose fit.

Sendoff

This model is not an exact copy of the Nerf Longshot scope, but hopefully it is a close enough imitation for those who are interested. I had tons of fun working on this project, and I hope everyone else enjoys it as much as I have!

Thanks to LightningEagle14 for testing these files for me! The Longshot Sight was already on my list of Nerf parts that I wanted to recreate, but they expressed interest in the files and instigated the start of the project, so thanks to them for that as well!
