hashtagartz Report post Posted February 25, 2021 I am making a holster for a Hellcat with a micro red dot sight mounted on the slide. I currently have a mold for the hellcat but not he sight. I tried looking to see if one can buy a mold for the sight with no luck. any suggestions. I thought about 3d printing but not sure how to get the pattern to do it. Thanks Jacob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeRock Report post Posted February 26, 2021 Sculpey clay is the ticket! It has very low shrinkage. https://www.sculpey.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisash Report post Posted February 27, 2021 This Fusion 360 video may give you some idea's if you can take photos of the original from there axis you can get a good 3D model for a 3d printer to make or if no printer there may be someone else who could make it for you (1) How to Create a CAD Model from a Photo in Fusion 360!

[aka Sculpey and FIMO] i dont think you would need to bake the blue gun. just make it to be attached with double stick tape Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiefjason Report post Posted February 28, 2021 Sight? On the top? You don't need anything. Just keep the leather out of the way. If it's a red dot sight you are over thinking this whole process. If it's a laser/light then check ebay for used models. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Done right, I think that would turn out very nice! Of course, you may end up filing the sight off you Blue Gun to do that. (You know, you have to post pictures when you finish it now!)
