Front Sight for 11mm Rail/Dovetail

Simple front sight that slides onto any 11mm dovetail rail as an end piece. Should fit very tightly without any play. Has a slot for a short piece of 1.75mm filament or optical fiber to serve as the dot.

Designed to shoot a Steel Breech Crosman 2240 with open sights while using a silencer. Somewhat shortens the sight radius, but hey - better than no sights at all!

0.2mm nozzle recommended to get better dimensional accuracy. I have not tested this with a 0.4mm nozzle, your mileage may vary.

Post-Printing

Sand outer surfaces to your liking. Depending on the dimensional accuracy of your printer, you may also have to sand the inside of the dovetail joint until it fits onto the rail.

Insert a piece of 1.75mm filament as a dot. I recommend using a color that has high contrast (e.g. use white if you print the body in black). You can also use glow-in-the-dark filament for a bit of fun. You may also be able to insert a piece of optical fiber if you find some in the right diameter.
