The Best DIY VR-Gunstock you CAN'T buy! ( But Print at home) for the Meta Quest 3
Create Your Own Virtual Reality Gunstock for Meta Quest 3!
All parts of this project can be printed using a standard FDM printer right at home. However, I chose to print the PA12 model using
PCB Way's 3D Printing Service www.pcbway.com/
ensuring a high-quality finish and enhanced durability. The only additional items you need to purchase are magnets to complete the assembly.
In this video, I dive into designing an innovative virtual reality gunstock for the Meta Quest 3.
This gunstock is not just any accessory; it's engineered for performance and comfort, featuring an ultra-lightweight design that weighs in at under 120 grams, thanks to advanced topology optimization using generative design techniques.
One of the standout features of this gunstock is how the controllers securely attach using the battery lid opening, ensuring they click firmly into place. This design keeps everything stable during intense gaming sessions. The gunstock also boasts an adjustable length, allowing you to customize it for your comfort and gameplay style. A soft TPU rubber shoulder pad enhances the experience, making it comfortable to hold for extended periods.
For aiming precision, I’ve included an adjustable cheek guard that lets you rest your cheek against it to align with your eye level perfectly. Plus, the gunstock can split down the middle using magnets, giving you the freedom to use your hands independently without needing to let go of the stock-perfect for quick adjustments or when you want to navigate menus.
All parts of this project can be printed using a standard FDM printer right at home. However, I chose to print the PA12 model using PCB Way's 3D Printing Service, ensuring a high-quality finish and enhanced durability. The only additional items you need to purchase are magnets to complete the assembly.
Join me on this exciting journey as I share the entire process, along with tips and tricks to help you create your very own VR gunstock. Whether you’re a seasoned tinkerer or just starting out, this project is a fantastic way to elevate your VR gaming experience!

Turning Titanium into Gold? With electro anodizing. When a mess up makes it better !

    Watching you trying to electroplate one portion of those had given me an idea. I wonder if instead of using tape, could you have coated them in wax. Then polish or scrape off the wax from just the areas you wanted to plate. I’ve never electroplated anything, it just sounds like a logical solution.

    • @Ibuiltathing

      That's absolutely possible yes. Even a permanent or whitboard marker works. I just take tape most of the time out of no specific reason 😅 Wax is actually a very good idea.

      @@Ibuiltathing I don’t yell at anyone, and no one gets yelled at where I work. You’re right-if you’re getting yelled at, it’s a toxic work environment, and if possible, changing workplaces is the best move. It’s easy to say when your paycheck comes from taxes, but the reality is, a lot of people are too scared to take that step. In a professional, especially academic environment funded by taxpayers, criticism should always be constructive-there are certainly solutions for that. As for the language mistakes: it’s not helpful to attack someone personally over them. I’d suggest a course like '#RespectOverHate' to focus on having a productive discussion. What you had the chance to do was teach the audience how to do it right. It’s not about being flawless, but about designing processes efficiently and thoughtfully-including with prototypes, to avoid wasting time and resources. After all, taxpayer money funds these projects, and we have a responsibility in how we use it. Regarding PCB Way: You mentioned wasting $300 but didn’t clarify that PCB Way sponsored the project. If you’re not transparent about your product placement, I can only respond to the information I have. Transparency is important to avoid misunderstandings. #ClimateNeutral #EcoFriendly #NoWaste Thanks for the conversation.
