3D printed Butt plate

[Robert j]

You know it, a nice old air rifle whose butt plate is worn or decayed. I found something about that. I replace them by 3D printing new ones from flexible TPU. It works well!

I don’t often comment but that is fantastic.
Could it print off a Gifford rifle but plate as they are a thing of beauty
Well done

That’s a great thing to have for the rare replacement recoil pad.
I didn’t realise that you could have soft 3D printing materials.

@ Michael, do you mean Giffard or Gifford modern style? Any shape can be printed.

@ Les Allam, this is the material I use: https://fillamentum.com/collections/...exfill-tpu-98a

@ Steviebee, I did print this plate for my Diana 35, It could be that it has the same dimensions of your Original 50.

I have the same problem with my 50, it is in a shocking state and spoils the newly finished stock. How much would a replacement cost?

Great use of a 3d printer!

Did you design the pad yourself?

Yes! I use a 3D program.
