For those with a 3d printer that need a standard HL turret gear ring, it can be found on Thingiverse here
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2272121
If you need to tweak it you can import it into Openscad and edit it

Re: Printable HL turret gear
Here's what you can do to edit the hl turret ring and how
Openscad code:
module turretgear(){
$fn=100;
difference (){
translate ([0,0,0]) import("C:/Users/Admin/Documents/SCAD files/M10 Achilles/Turretgear02.stl", convexity=3);
translate ([-100,0,-1])cylinder(h = 8, r = 43); // this takes out the centre of the hl model
}
//this insert the three tabs for connecting to the turret
translate ([-100,0,0])difference(){
union(){
for (x=[0:120:240]) rotate ([0,0,x])hull(){
translate ([40,0,4.5])cylinder(h = 4, r = 2);
translate ( [41.5,-3,4.5] ) rotate ([0,5,0]) cube ([1,6,4]);
}
}
for (x=[0:120:240]) rotate ([0,0,x])translate ([40,0,3.5])cylinder(h = 6, r = 1.1);
}
}
turretgear();
The import command obviously needs to point to the downloaded hl stl
Have fun

Re: Printable HL turret gear
Very nice. Is that the small one or the large one? Having both would be totally awesome.
