Why 3D printed accessories are so popular in VR

Accessories such as the gun stock has the power to elevate the VR experience to a whole new level by giving the actual feeling of holding the weapon, not to mention it makes it easier to aim which is always a good thing. Most players admit that games like Onward can be quite challenging for newbies without a gun stock. But don’t worry, getting a gun stock and other accessories for your VR games has never been easier thanks to 3D models uploaded by designers on Thingiverse. 

 

How to 3D print gun stock for Oculus Rift

Gurgelx (Gustaf Brahme) shared “Oculus touch - gun stock” which has become a real hit and was downloaded more than 68k views and 14k downloads! To see how the gun stock works including how it reloads, take a look at the video review by Virtual Reality Oasis. Among other things, the reviewer strongly recommends gun stocks when playing Onward but not so much for Pavlov, another popular VR first-person shooter game.

“Oculus touch - gun stock” was remixed from another model of the stock for HTC Vive controller “MagHak Virtual Reality Rifle” with magnetic quick connect that was made by another designer with nickname makeFOURd who also took inspiration from other Thingiverse models and ideas from the community.  We also recommend checking out a remix(the white stock featured in photos above) of the gun stock by Gurgelx made by bigwoody003 (Alex Woods).

All these designs are easy to 3D print using FFF/FDM 3D printers and all you’ll need to assemble them is neodymium magnets and super glue.

Got a 3D Printer? This VR Gun Stock Could Be Worth the Filament – Road to VR

VR shooters like Onward, Pavlov, and sport shooting game Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades are fun ways to blow off a little steam and put some lead down range, but if you aren’t already using a modular stock, and have access to a 3D printer (or at least $100 for a pre-built), then you might be missing out.

VR stocks are admittedly a bit fiddly, and really don’t feature native plug-and-play support for any game, but they’re still a great way of increasing your immersion (and aim) in VR shooters if you have the time and money to get things right.

There are a few great 3D-printable stocks already out there on Thingaverse, but one of the slickest we’ve seen yet it the VRGM, a stock design created by João Brito that can be printed to fit Oculus Touch, HTC Vive, and Windows VR controllers.

It’s been on Thingaverse since March, but Brito has been steadfast in providing constant refinements to his design, showing an awesome amount of dedication that has pushed his project into near consumer-level fit and finish.

The VRGM is touted for its economic and lightweight design, weighing as much as a single Oculus Touch controller (~165 g, ~5.8 oz). The design is modular, and also fully 3D printable so you don’t need to substitute in a poll for the main bar. Grips can be fitted with neodymium magnets, and also provides areas for handy attachments like bi-pods and a pump-action rail.

Brito used a Prusa Mk1 printer, printing at .20 resolution with an infill of 5-10% for all parts outside of the stock mount (25% infill), MT-1 tube (25% infill), and sniper stock (15% infill).

You can check out VRGM on Thingaverse here. Don’t Miss the in-depth build guide either.

Pre-built Stocks

Don’t have a 3D printer? There’s also a few pre-built VR stocks out there that should get you up and running for around $100.

ProTube offers a build-it-yourself kits for €60 (~$68) for motion controllers including Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, PSVR, and Windows VR. Pre-built stocks will cost you a bit extra at €80 (~$91), and you can also go for the tricked out carbon fiber model for €120 (~$136).

Mamut’s injection-molded gun stocks are also something worth looking at if you have the cash. With a €65 (~$74) Mamut neodymium magnet bracket and carbon fiber tube for HTC Vive or Oculus Rift combined with their butt & cheek rest attachment €25 (~$28), you’ll have a full stock ready to go which approaches the same utility of the VRGM.

Ever cheaper is the Virtual Core carbon fiber Evolution Rifle Adapter for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift variant coming in at $60 a piece, although shipping may add a significant expense the farther you live away from its shipping destination in Florida.

Again, these aren’t your standard aftermarket peripherals that can offer any appreciable level of native support through games, but if you’re head over heels for a certain VR shooter and want to up your game, you may want to think about the options above.

You can of course always hack a broom stick in half and create a duct tape monstrosity too—whatever it takes to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women, men, cats, dogs, etc.
