Swiss Arca and Pic Rail for FX Impact

This part replaces the trigger guard on the FX Impact. It allows the air gun to be used with an Arca Swiss tripod and extends the area available for a pic mounted bipod. I uses the bottle to increase the stiffness and more or less eliminate deflection. It is a contact fit to the bottle, so it is easy to remove and install. EDIT: It is much lighter, and probably much stiffer than any of the aluminum after-market products.

I printed this out of BASF HTPA-CF15. Given the use conditions and the possible stresses, I would recommend something with low moisture sensitivity, good heat resistance and high stiffness like this material.

EDIT: I have replaced the original part, which was printed with the BASF material, with Qidi PET-CF. It can print with a 0.4mm nozzle instead of 0.6mm and has a higher print temperature at 300C. The smaller nozzle gives a much better finish, and it has been very durable.

It is designed to print diagonally off the front face for 2 reasons. The support required is minimal, and it keeps the primary forces from falling along the layer interface.
