tim s Posted 11 September 2023 Share Posted 11 September 2023 Does anyone have a spare wooden cheekpiece for a System Gemini? I just need the wood, not the metal gubbins. Maple would be ideal, but I'll take laminate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim s Posted 12 September 2023 Author Share Posted 12 September 2023 Still looking. Ideally from an Anschutz inlet, as TR-inlet cheekpieces are too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonty Posted 2 November 2023 Share Posted 2 November 2023 Tim, Would someone be able to produce one from a 3D printer? I appreciate its not wood. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J I expect so, but I don't know anyone with a 3D printer. I've no objection to plastic if anyone has a SG cheekpiece and a printer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trshooter Posted 2 November 2023 Share Posted 2 November 2023 I have a printer but not a Gemini cheekpiece.. I’m happy to CAD it up and print it if I ever get my hands on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklock Posted 2 November 2023 Share Posted 2 November 2023 I know this isn't a SG cheekpiece, but here's the STL version of the Precise cheekpiece I put on my F27a and used for a few years. It may be of use? F27a cheekpiece (Precise).stl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim s Posted 2 November 2023 Author Share Posted 2 November 2023 Hi Nick, I'm really sorry, but I can't open the file. Is it just the plastic top, or the whole shebang with the adjustable bits? Iight be interested in the complete bit, so long as I can work out how to put it on the Gemini base. Just the plastic top probably wouldn't be idea as it's a fair bit thinner than my Gemini, and mounting would seem an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if you can get it working, changing the object around a bit should be easy enough in software... The file was exported from TinkerCad, so if you need it in a different format I think it can be converted directly to .OBJ there - past that I'm a bit stumped! I don't have a printer, and I've always had someone else do the donkey work for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's meant to be helpful, and that's much appreciated, but my IT skills are minimal. To everyone else, I'd like the wooden part of a SG cheekpiece. I have one already, but after years of reshaping and adding epoxy, I'd like spare to start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklock Posted 6 November 2023 Share Posted 6 November 2023 Tim, Having re-read the posts above, the fault is mine - I see that I've been a bit confused as to who has a 3D printer @trshooter might well be able to modify the file I posted, to make the attachment point sturdier and suitable for bolting onto the SG carrier, and sort you out with a physical copy. Have a word with him if you can quantify the difference between the Precise and SG, and see what can be worked out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim s Posted 6 November 2023 Author Share Posted 6 November 2023 Nick, Thank you. I see what you mean now. I doubt I'd pursue a Precise cheekpiece top, the plastic part. Simply I suspect it would sit much too far to the left and wouldn't allow room for my face. The Precise is designed to go on hardware that's mounted on the right hand side of the stock, where the SG is mounted centrally. Although I could adjust it across, because the top is less tall, the hardware would be jammed into my face, rather than 1-1.5in below. Making a spacer would be worthwhile if I had the Precise hardware, as the SG lacks in-position lateral adjustment, but not jyst for the top.
