What size scope rings are people using for the thingverse A300 mk2 A 300 3d build? Mine is in the process of being built and thought I would shop around for options. |

I got 1 inch low profile scope rings from aliexpress.

Even when fully campled there is still some room between the ring and scope, so I will wrap something around the scope to fill the gap.

Those are certainly cheap enough! Have you mounted a flashlight on your build and if so how did you accomplish it? |

I’m not sure if I will add the flashlight, but I will add the 2 inch picatinny rail on the side. The flashlight mounts on that rail.
Also from aliexpress:

Here you can see the picatinny rail on a blaster:

It is the best way to mount the flashlight. The Surefire X300 is designed to attach to a rail.

Are you going to just drill the plastic to mount the rail vs using a resin to mount it or a combination of both? I am unsure of how strong to expect the plastic of a 3D build to be |

Just drill the plastic and use the screws is not strong enough unless you modify the 3D files and add holes (with thick enough walls) for the screws. I will use e6000 glue for the rail, but I will also drill holes for the screws because I want it to look like it is mounted using these. |
