Who is 3D printing sidewheels for the Element Titan or where can I find one?

Jump to latest Follow Reply
If you know someone close by with a printer, Thingiverse has files for several large wheel (Item 834141). Sizing this one is kind of trial and error, so just printing wheels isn't practical. You need to be available for fittings, just like buying a custom suit. 

You can scale the wheel down so it fits the knobs on your scope. I have an Athlon, and had to reduce the wheel I downloaded by 24% to 76%. The reduced size fits perfectly. Other scopes have different sized knobs, so it's a bit of trial and error. Mine took 6 tries, so I have extra wheels of varying sizes. One of the extras fit my elevation knob on a Vortex.

The number above is a circular wheel, but Nautilus designs are available too. All personal preference. 

I don't have a titan, so really can't help. No clue about how big to print the wheel.

Eric at Scope Werks makes one. I think it’s 80mm in diameter, if I remember correctly. All of his stuff is great quality but kind of pricey.

I saw a printed one the other day too but don’t remember where.

"I saw a printed one the other day too but don’t remember where." Me too, but can't remember where either. Maybe it was on AGN and this thread catches their eye.

I put a utg sidewheel on my element helix. I took the rubber insert out and snugged the set screws down directly on to the knob. It does make Mark's from the screws but I'll never take the wheel off so I dont mind. They are about $15 on Amazon

Thanks! I do have one of those on another scope that I can try if I can't find what I am after.

I would rather not have a sidewheel, but I was gifted with a deformed left arm at birth, so I can't reach out to adjust the parallax so easily without some fuss, so I kinda need one.

Thanks! Yes, I found he does have one listed for a Titan for $80. I am sure they are nice, but that's more than I care to spend for one currently. I'll keep looking for one more reasonably priced.

Hey trigger just so you are aware the yardage numbers dont line up at all. I cover all of them up with white label tape so I can mark my own ranges in my yard to my eyes. Tim

Well, the Titan's marks don't line up correctly either. I lased tested mine at fifty yards recently and the Titan, when focused as good as I can see, showed to be forty yards with its marks. I don't know if I can calibrate the Titan's parallax knob or not. I don't know if all of them are that way either or it's just mine.

Anyone tried modding the $5.99 (with AGNATION discount code) Crosman Centerpoint 80mm wheel to fit?

It's $7.99 if you choose to NOT use the AGNATION discount 25% off code.

3d printed side wheels are ok but definitely NOT show pieces I have many 3d printed wheels and turrets and prefer to mod UTG and Crosman Centerpoint wheels they are much nicer here's one on my POS (for real good only from 5x - 20x max) 5-30x50 MTC VIPER PRO.

Thanks! I'm not all about show pieces myself. All of my guns are black on black on black, but if the Orion is too displeasing to me I will try something different.

HERE'S a different branded $5.99 Crosman Centerpoint type side wheel that's nearly 6x more expensive if you get what you pay for OCD mentality kicks in. Some even sleep better paying a lot more money for their items BTW...

I received the Orion printed side wheel today for my Titan scope. I like the professional look of the printing and that it secures to the parallax wheel with a recessed hex bolt without scratching the finish in any way. Also, that it is not overly large and in the way. Another great product by Orion!

Awesome! I'm glad it worked well! Share pics to see how it looks!
