The original VQGNS-85 by @Maletsky_2288405 is awesome! I just did a few minor changes to it...

Mykyta Maletsky did an amazing job with the original VQGNS-85 Meta Quest gunstock!

After using it for a while, there was one thing that I didn't quite like: the butt feel against my shoulder. It felt harsh on my shoulder plus I didn't had much feel in terms of how aligned it was (because it's "flat").

I also noticed some people complaining about the feel / shape of the controller grip attachment. Personally I didn't feel any issues, but my VR sessions are just 1-2h tops...

So I decided to spend some time and improve what's an already amazing design!

  • Added a contoured butt pad, made out of TPU. The slimmer profile, slightly curved and soft material fixes all the issues I had.

  • Recreated the controller attachment to be slimmer and following the shape of the joystick. Also moved the cord attachment point.

Following the author's approach of sharing the STEP file and encouraging people to improve the design, I have included the STEP file along with the modded STL already oriented. The remaining parts should be taken from the original model.

Instructions:

  • Print the Butt Pad using TPU. A lower infill % will generate a softer feel. I used 10%...

  • Print the new Butt with support on the tabs (check the images above).

  • To secure the Butt Pad into the Butt, line up the two pieces together and use a piece of filament (PETG or ABS/ASA) through the holes. If too tight, use a 2mm drill bit into the Butt (not the Butt Pad).

  • The Grip Attachment does not require any support. I mainly print with ASA, the attachment is pretty strong, doesn't feel like it will be breaking any time soon...

Let me know how it goes!

PS: I only tested with a Quest 3 controller, not sure if the Quest 2 would work...
