Excellent results!

 

The 3D printed turret looks amazing. Are you using rare earth magnets to hold on the sides of the turret?

Everything you see is designed and built by me.

No. I use other programs.

I installed the turret on the Whiskey version of the Cobra to check compatibility. It fits perfectly. In this case the front cover is not installed and the IZLID system is installed instead.
