I went for an offset mount because it gets the sight line a bit lower, which helps when using the scope in hides with narrow viewing slits. It's also nice because even if my scope is set up too high for my girlfriend to use it, she can still look through the sight so she knows where to point her own scope <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />[ATTACH]650917[/ATTACH]I have built the model with a 55 mm inner diameter. Does that sound right to you? My 3D printing provider does not provide 0.1 mm accuracy, so I'm a bit cautious.Looks like you have 2 mm of thickness in the collar below the ring? This looks a bit tricky as the thread doesn't have many turns and I'll be printing in plastic.Hehe, same thing here <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I measured an angle of close to 50 degrees, but I guess I'll have to make my mounting adjustable too.Looked it up, and the description is promising. It seems to be marketed as a 3D tool, though? Interesting it's a member of the CATIA family, quite a few of my friends here in Hamburg work with that.Regards,Henning</blockquote>
