WARTHOG - Night Vision Mount - V2

VERSION 2 RELEASED!

PARAMETRIC CAD INCLUSIVE!

The WARTHOG is the first open-source, 3D-printable night vision mounting system ever created.

Features:

  • Tough wide-body design
  • Dovetail-stlye slot compatible with most NVGs
  • Single-button folding system for stowing device on top of the helmet
  • Two-button eye distance adjustment
  • Screw-secured height adjustment
  • Slider-release standard NVG shroud mount
  • Requires only off-the-shelf nuts, bolts and metal springs
  • Fully parametric

The market for NVG mounting systems currently isn't very budget-friendly, taking away valuable budget from any new purchase of a night vision setup.

The WARTHOG aims to improve this situation by allowing anyone to 3D print a fully functional and tough NVG mounting system with negligible production cost, while providing a secure platform to mount even heavier binocular devices.

For any requests or feedback, find me on Discord: Markus#1503.

Disclaimer

Do not, I repeat, do not rely on this mount alone when mounting your expensive equipment. Always use in combination with a lanyard or other safety measure in case the mount fails. Do not blame me for broken equipment or toes.

Known Issues

  • No pitch adjustment. Currently the angle between the sled and the shroud mount is 112°. I can provide files for the connector part with different angles if needed. Future versions might come with pitch adjustment.
