Scope Throw Lever for Vortex Strike Eagle

This is a sleek and beautiful throw lever design for the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8x24 scope. It should probably fit the older 1-6x24 version perfectly, and other Vortex scopes sharing the same dimensions for the zoom ring.

There's already some throw levers out there, including this one I remixed last year to fit the Strike Eagle. But they're quite bulky, and I wanted something lower profile, not sticking out very much. Also, didn't care for getting my hands on the necessary sized (very short!) M3 nut/bolt, so adapted the design to use a single M2/M3 screw to secure the throw lever to the scope.

Main changes from the original design:

• 45 mm size
• Grooves for a snug fit to the Vortext Strike Eagle zoom ring
• A rim that goes over one edge of the throw lever, both improving the adhesion to the printer bed while also improving the design and fit to the scope ring
• Use of a single M2 screw to secure it to the scope, instead of using a nut and bolt

The version on the photos is printed in smoky black PETG, but did have a tiny bit of stringing. Next one will be in plain black PLA+, usually gets me the best results.

I do recommend printing in 100% infill, to ensure there's as much material as possible to secure the screw. Also, there's a small piece connecting the gap - this is to enable inside brim if you need better bed adhesion, easily trimmed off if you print without brim.
