Telescopic Tactical Archery Quiver

This is a fully 3D-printed telescopic quiver, designed from the ground up for archers who appreciate functional engineering and clean tactical aesthetics.
The entire body features an integrated sliding mechanism — printed in one piece, no screws, no assembly required. Simply print, remove from the build plate, and the telescopic action works right out of the printer.

In its compact form, the quiver measures about 200 mm in length, making it easy to carry or attach to your gear. When extended, it reaches approximately 380 mm, providing space to hold up to 12 arrows securely.
The internal channels and vented panels ensure rigidity and airflow while minimizing print time and material usage.

To fit different arrow types, the design supports interchangeable end caps — one for 6.2 mm shafts, another for 4.2 mm shafts — or you can use it open-top for quick access during practice or field shooting.
The structure is robust enough for regular use yet light enough for long sessions, weighing only about 300 grams when printed in PETG with FDM technology.

The design language follows a modern tactical-industrial theme, combining functionality, strength, and visual balance. Its geometric vents and angled lines give it a distinctive, purpose-built look that matches any archery setup.
A belt or strap hook can be easily added for hands-free portability.

Specifications

• Design type: Telescopic quiver (integrated print, no assembly)
• Material: PETG (recommended)
• Printing method: FDM
• Length: 200 mm (collapsed) / 380 mm (extended)
• Weight: ~300 g
•  
• Arrow capacity: 12
• Compatible shaft diameters: 6.2 mm / 4.2 mm (with swappable caps)
• Features: Lightweight, strong, modular, travel-friendly

This project demonstrates how functional mechanical structures can be realized directly through additive manufacturing — leveraging the flexibility of FDM to produce precise, moving parts in a single print.

Perfect for makers, hobbyists, or competitive archers who want a compact, stylish, and practical quiver — engineered entirely through design and printing.
