Shoot me a pm w/ an address and I'll drop a silver PLA one in the mail for you. If you end up really liking it you may consider finding someone who prints in stronger materials - I haven't tried anything else yet.
I have to wonder if it wouldn't be more feasible to mill that out of aluminum bar stock.
I made one out of a 1/8 piece of Kydex I had laying around the shop. Took a while to make it, that’s why I’d rather buy something already made.
Will do! I will post as soon as new pics and info becomes available.Trying the holster out as well please let me know what the final design looks like.
I honestly don't know. I think it depends on what kind of tools and materials you already have access to.Krax, what would be the cost of materials alone for that, let alone time investment? (BTW that's a real question, not rhetorical. )
(EDIT: nevermind; it's for the 3 little teeth on the T-Nuts, right? That's something I'll add to the design, then.)
Ah, okay - thanks! Glad I asked!I can’t measure it for you but what I can tell you is the Omnivore holster uses the same hardware (8-32) as Safariland. The older Serpa holsters use a larger hardware. Also in the Omnivore, the t-nuts are inside the holster and do not stick out above the surface.
Not that I know of, and I defiantly don't care about it, Safariland pattern stuff is exclusively what I use(...and does anyone currently, actually care about mounting a Safariland holster onto Blackhawk rig still?
Ah, okay; I thought you were speaking from the POV of a SME. ;P I only own hand tools, and even if I had a full machine shop I cannot imagine that making this out of metal would be remotely worth the time or effort, let alone materials cost, as compared to 3D printing it. I use PET/PETG almost exclusively for "functional parts" due to its material properties combined with relatively low cost, at least as compared to the few genuinely stronger materials like nylons or copolyesters (...after which anything stronger requires a printer far more capable - and expensive - than mine). Between the design and use requirements of this adapter, injection molding is about the only thing I can think of that would be a more cost-effective solution than just 3D printing it, and even then only if there was a known demand for several hundred if not over a thousand units in order to get the huge initial cost of creating molds down to a feasible per-unit basis.I honestly don't know. I think it depends on what kind of tools and materials you already have access to.
1/4" aluminum or steel is often available at your local Lowes. If you have sheets of kydex on hand, then that's what I'd go with.
NP man, as with most things in my life, I went into this project knowing my calendar was pretty open for the next several days, only to have that be reversed almost literally within hours of me posting "I'll get on this right away tomorrow" or whatever it was I said.Not that I know of, and I defiantly don't care about it, Safariland pattern stuff is exclusively what I use
I got back to this a few days late and just saw the comments, if you need me to measure anything or have any questions that haven't been addressed please let me know. I can measure the hardware if you still need when I get home tonight
