Quick Point Sight for 3D printed Nerf blasters

DESCRIPTION
Quick Point Sight is an open sight designed to look a bit like a typical Red dot sight.
It is setup for Nerf blasters which have a large amount of dart drop over distance.
Usefull both for teaching kids basic sight adjustment & also for Nerf battles.
Attachment is for Picatinny rail.

DESIGN NOTES
Red dot sights are very affordable but if you are kitting out a number of blasters costs add up.
As a result I was looking for a 3D printed sight that was at least adjustable and setup for the more extreme adjustment range required for Nerf.
The very close couple between the front & rear sight may be of concern, but in practice it seems to work fine for a Nerf blaster.

3D PRINTING NOTES
Print out using typical PLA 0.2mm layer height, 20% infill settings, No supports.
The Body of the sight is best printed at angle on the front face (No Supports are then needed), this does benefit from a finer layer height of say 0.15mm.
(See Build Video for further details).

ASSEMBLY NOTES
I have made a quick build guide, here:-
