UPDATE: Improved Quest 3 controller mounts available!!! :-)

Being not patient enough waiting for Quest 3 Sanlaki gunstock controller mounts to be released, I decided to design the mounts myself.

The 2nd attempt Quest 3 Sleek Gunstock Controller Mounts, a remix based on Quest 3 Sanlaki sleek gun controller mount from FinlessBob is very promising. The mounts have a perfect and super-tight fit.

Latest development status (Nov. 22th):

• More room for joystick control via thumb (adding again 5mm more height)
• Stilt diameter has been increased for more stability
• Adding of cap models with increased width (105%, 110% and 115%) to accommodate for too tight fit of controller mounts

There are now two versions for each controller mount:

• normal version w/o eyelet
• with eyelet

I thought it might be useful to have the cap attached to the controller mount, in case of frequent assembly/disassembly, so that the tiny cap does not get lost.

For the left controller models with single mounts are available as well.

I also did create a remix-ready version of the mounts, Quest 3 Sleek Controller Mounts, w/o any additional parts, just the mounts. Feel free to use for your remix.

UPDATE: New variant with hinged rifle stock

I have uploaded a variant of this gunstock with hinged rifle stock, designed for easy use in-game. See the thing Hinged Magnetic Gunstock (Modified & Optimized).

Gunstock description

This a magnetic gunstock remix, based on the popular Sanlaki design. The source is the excellent remix Improved & Simplified by Teque5...

After printing the source thing I observed that the 1/2’’ (21,5mm) steel pipes I did acquire have a slightly bigger diameter (21,7mm). So I started tinkering with the design and in the end modified/optimized a bit more…

You can also use the original steel pipes with 21,5mm diameter. Just wind some very thin tape or sisal around the threads before screwing in. :-)

Notes

The controller mount models are for Oculus Quest 2 (right dominant hand), but any Sanlaki controller mount will work.

If original Sanlaki controller mount models are used, the pipe exerts need to be enlarged slightly. Can be done easily with sand paper.

Modifications/Optimizations

• The barrel has been shortened and combined with the gunstock body in one model. The transition zone has been modified, in order to cross-fade different width/height of both models.

• The body is designed for one long steel pipe (400mm), hence no need for the pipe coupler model from the original design. This increases the stability of the gunstock, removing the pipe coupler as „weak part“ and enlarges the forward grip area.

• Adding of tactical mounting points to the gunstock body on both sides. The position does not cause occlusion with a sling, the mounting points are behind the dominant controller.

• 1/2’’ steel pipes available to me seem to have a slightly bigger diameter than the ones used for the original design, so the gunstock body has been scaled to 104% and modified for perfect fit of right hand controller. The pipe exert for controller mounts have been modified accordingly.

• The adjustable stock has been modified, adding a screw for connection to the gunstock body. With this modification a steel pipe is no longer required, reducing the overall weight of the gunstock.

• Optionally the original adjustable stock design with steel pipe can be used. The original model modified for slightly larger pipe diameter is included. The steel pipe increases the overall weight, but the gunstock is better balanced. Decide for yourself what works better for you...

• In order to make the assembly of lock-pin mechanism of the adjustable stock easier, the lock-pin has been scaled to 99% and the hole for the M3 screw has been increased to 3.2mm

• Modification of left hand controller mount for dual grip, adding a horizontally mounted pipe connector. The model for normal left hand mount is included as well.

• The muzzle model has been scaled to 104%

• The model for the scope/sight from original design has been removed

Source

The design is based on Magnetic Gunstock for Oculus Quest 2 (Improved & Simplified) by Teque5.

For which the main source is Magnetic Gunstock for Oculus Quest 1, Quest 2 by Sanlaki and the adjustable buttstock is FGC-9 adjustable butt stock by Untangle Remixed for Oculus Quest by slykittycat

Part list

• M3x40mm caphead for adjustable stock
• 0.5x6x20mm spring for adjustable stock
• M3 nut for adjustable stock
• 2x M3x5mm caphead for cushion
• 2x M5x20mm wood screw for controller mounts

• 2x Thin one-sided rubber sticker for controller mounts

• 1/2’’ steel pipe for barrel (400mm)
• (Optional) 1/2’’ steel pipe for adjustable stock (200mm)

I did acquire 1/2'' steel pipes in various length here

• 32x8mm (45kg) magnet for right controller mount

• 25x6mm (22kg) magnet for left controller mount (in case of dual left mount, two magnets are required)

• (Optional) Tactical mount

• (Optional) Sling

Assembly

See instructions in main source Magnetic Gunstock for Oculus Quest 2 (Improved & Simplified)

Remarks

• I did attach a thin one-sided rubber sticker on each controller mount to solidly attach controllers. With controller grip covers as shown in the pictures this work fine. You can also use double-sided stickers listed in source thing part list.

• For me the assembly of adjustable stock lock-pin and spring worked perfectly fine w/o glue

• The adjustable stock in pictures is constructed with 200mm steel pipe. The body is not the latest version from the model included. I did make some optical changes to the barrel/body cross-fade zone afterwards, but did not print it yet.

Print settings

With 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm resolution the female crew threads are "sloppy", but still work perfectly fine for screwing. Anyhow I would recommend 0.15mm resolution.

I did use 30% gyroid infill for the gunstock, but less may be fine as well. Up to now I printed the thing using Tough PLA only. No problems, very stable. The gunstock did survive one or two unintended drop tests. :-D

All models can be printed w/o supports. I would recommend a brim for better adhesion of first layer.

Print settings for Quest 3 controller mounts

I did print the Quest 3 controller mounts with 20% gyroid infill, according to feedback 15% is fine as well (and helps to reduce the print time).

Due to the complex geometry with overhangs I would suggest printing with supports. I did use PVA, which works fine for me.

Please see below my major support print settings (standard values for PVA, Cura 5.1.1):

• Support structure: Tree
• Tree Support Branch Angle: 40°
• Tree Support Branch Distance: 1.0mm
• Tree Support Branch Diameter: 2.0mm
• Tree Support Branch Angle: 5.0°
• Tree Support Collision Resolution: 0.2mm
• Support Placement: Everywhere
• Support Overhang Angle: 45°
• Support Pattern: Gyroid
