I am on the search again to find parts for a scope, but while looking around I got to thinking about DIY options.

I see there are quite a few different options for aluminum and 3D printed wheels, but at anywhere from $100+ that seems steep. So it got me to thinking about DIY options..... So I come to you guys to see what you have came up with? Doesn't have to be for the Helix optic, but that is what I have so thats what I am looking at.

It's not DIY, and it's not 100 bucks I found this while looking for Black Friday deals.

Element Optics Helix parallax wheel by puna102

Consists of two components. The adapter for Helix scope and the wheel itself. Designed it this way, so I could use same wheel for other scopes. It uses a grub screw to tighten it to the parallax adjustment. The grub screw pushes against the adapter ring not the scopes parallax knob.

That's the one I've printed in PLA+
