Sometimes the simple solutions are the best. I have a Center Point 4-16x rifle scope from Academy. Because of the height over bore distance, every time I tightened the turret cap on the elevation turret, it would change my settings and I would have to zero the scope all over again. I tried several methods to keep the turret cap from bottoming out with no avail, until my family got me a 3D printer for Christmas.
This is the first design I have made from scratch and all it is is a ring that fits snugly over the turrets of the scope. I printed it in PLA Silk because that is what I had loaded at the time. It took about a minute to a minute and a half to print one spacer, so I will use these until they break, then print them in a more robust material.
To install the spacer, I slipped them over the turrets with the caps off then started to screw them on by hand until there was enough thread showing for the caps to go on. I screwed the caps on and they pushed the spacers the rest of the way. I tightened the elevation turret cap extra tight and did not hear the dreaded ratcheting sound of my elevation adjustment being moved. As a plus, the spacers blend in with the scope and look good!
