Hello Ckye users!

I've been making the adaptor feet for double pulls to allow the use of Atlas rubber feet, it has been a surprisingly popular product. But despite of what appears of a simple design, it's not too straightforward to make (if I have a bar feed, live tooling, Y-axis lathe, that'd be a different story), and it also bothers me that you still need to purchase the Atlas rubber feet separately.

So this holiday season I took some time to update the design, and now I'm happy to offer a direct rubber feet replacement for both of the double and triple pull Ckye bipod.

I will continue making the adaptors for a while, but think the rubber feet will work the best for most people at a lower overall cost. Both can be purchased here: https://dotechne.com/rubber-feet-and-reducing-sleeve-for-mdt-ckye-pod-double-pull-bipod/

Rubber feet protruding 0.6" from the end of the leg, even shorter than the factory spike feet.

Will these fit the lightweight double pull?
I don't have a lightweight version myself to confirm, sent an email to MDT about this, but if you can help making 3 measurement that'd be great:

1. diameter of the feet
2. diameter of the hole on the leg
3. distant from bottom of the hole to the bottom of the leg

Made a new iterations on the ski feet. Double pulls leg is at 30 degrees at the widest setting, so the feet has to be able to pivot 60 degrees. The middle setting, which is what I use most often, is about 35 degrees.

I hope to support all 3 leg positions, but also want to have a really secure ball joint (ideally print-in-place), so I'm making two cutouts to support the widest setting but works in any direction for narrow/middle positions.

Make some test parts now and going to the range to test this afternoon...

So you use a thin anchor thread to secure the pivot during printing and then break the thread after completion?

No, this is printed on SLS printer, so the beauty is that unfused nylon powder will support the ball joint. Just need to make sure that the gap is as small as possible, but large enough so that the unfused powder doesn't get melted by the surrounding fused section during printing. Another benefit is that Nylon 12 is self-lubricating as well, so a good choice for ball joint.
