"Soviet Skewer" AKM Spike Bayonet V1.0.1: Laffs Dynamics

A bayonet design, using common steel rod sizes available for purchase online and at hardware stores. 

The bayonet mount is a single piece design that utilizes a compliant mechanism; it's lug locking tab, as a built in leaf spring. The design mounts over a standard AKM slant muzzle break and to spec bayonet 
lug. 

One does not need to press down the lug locking tab for removal, as it's meant to simply hold the design in place from falling off the rifle. and a hard pull can be used if quick removal is needed. 

Comes in two variants:

*8mm Spike Mount 

*10mm Spike Mount (Definitely recommended, for poking larger holes!)

Update V1.0.1: Updated recommended printing materials, changed recommended print settings for better device strength, updated name of designer. 

Filament Recommended: Glass Filled Nylon, Carbon Fiber Nylon

Print Settings:

First Layer Print Height: .20mm 
Standard Layer Height: .16mm
Wall Thickness: .40 
Wall Perimeters: 8+

Supports only needed for under the locking tab for the bayonet lug. 

Print the mount on it's front face. 

Hardware Needed:

*8mm x 300mm Steel Rod

*100mm x 300mm Steel Rod

*2 Part Epoxy

Tools Needed: 

*40 Grit Sandpaper (Rough tip forming)

*150 Grip Sandpaper (Fine tip forming and surface finishing)

*Sanding Belt (Optional, if you don't want to hand sand and have one.)

*Rotary Tool

*Rotary Tool Sanding Drum (For rounding the spike tip)

Notes:

Due to the heat given off from firing an AK, it's highly recommended this design be treated as a: "No ammo left, affix bayonets!", type tool. The muzzle ring is overbuilt to handle impact and some heat stress, and should be fine being attached whilst firing a small amount of rounds, but mag dumping will inevitably melt the muzzle ring.
