For those with a 3d printer that need a standard HL turret gear ring, it can be found on Thingiverse here

If you need to tweak it you can import it into Openscad and edit it

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

Very nice. Is that the small one or the large one? Having both would be totally awesome.

It's the small one
