Description

Sometimes on our archery practice the nocks jump from the arrow when hitting the target. I usually can't seem to find them nowhere, so i decided to design my on nocks to print them when i lose one.

From the safety point it's always better to buy quality nocks in a store. I only used these in very low power bows.

I've uploaded a Step file of the nock so you guys can change to adapt to your arrow sizes.

Print with 100% Infill. PLA is too brittle. I found the ASA gives me best results in these.

Printed beautifully vertically, but that orientation is weak along the layer lines and it was a little too small to fit nicely in my arrows. I rotated horizontally and printed with support at 110% size. Needed a little cleanup with an emery board and with a little glue, hopefully it's not going anywhere!

Curious to know if you shot with these and how they went. I agree about the orientation, vertical would be far too likely to snap at the end.

Replying to @Fdownie :

Printing at 110% was necessary for the fitment in the end of the arrow. Unfortunately, the nock no longer clips onto the bowstring as the opening is just a bit too wide. I will say that strength-wise, the horizontal print is the way to go. No signs of damage after a shooting session. I'm only just starting out with archery so I can't comment on if there are any accuracy effects, but I wouldn't imagine so.

Thanks for the reply. The opening is too wide for my purposes, as well, but I'm going to try adjusting it slightly. Can you explain what you mean by printing at 110%? I've got many years of archery but am just starting out with 3D printing :)
