   Heavy Duty Flat-Folding Coil Balancer For The Deus 2

   By Rattlehead

   Several of these balancers can be found on Thingiverse and for sale on eBay. The attachment point (wings?) on most of those are kind of thin and not very durable. I've already broken a couple of them. I tried one that I found on eBay which was thicker, but it was designed in a way that it didn't allow the coil to be folded completely flat against the shaft. So with this in mind, my coworker and I decided to design a new improved version of the balancer solving both of those issues. The wings are thicker AND it allows the coil to be folded completely flat. All edges have been smoothed so that it looks and feels nice. We designed this to work with the 9" coil, but I believe it'll work fine for the 11" coil as well.
   Note: It might be a tight fit if using the OEM charging clip, since it plugs in from the side. I just noticed this recently as I've been using an aftermarket clip where the cable plugs in from the top.
   Print using PETG so that it can withstand heat. 100% infill. No supports needed.

   Deus 2: Heavy Duty Coil Balancer for the 13"x11" Coil

   By Rattlehead

   This will relocate the shaft mounting point closer to the center of the coil, making it much more balanced and easier to swing.
   This one ONLY works with the 13x11 coil. If you need a balancer for the 9" or 11" coil, check my other uploads in this section.
   Note: It might be a tight fit if using the OEM charging clip, since it plugs in from the side. I just noticed this recently as I've been using an aftermarket clip where the cable plugs in from the top.
   Print using PETG. 100% infill. No supports needed.
   
   You'll need to use the spare bolt, nut and cap that came with your detector. If you don't have it, you can find them on Amazon or eBay for just a few bucks.

   Manticore 3D Printed Non-Conductive Shaft Extension

   By GoodAmount

   The Manticore 3D Printed Non Conductive Shaft Extension was designed to alleviate issues caused by having a conductive carbon fibre lower shaft bolted directly to the coil. This is particularly important for gold prospectors who experience knock sensitivity when laying the shaft flat against the coil during target recovery, but it may also have benefits during the target search, especially when working tight rocky terrain where the coil is constantly being knocked and/or rotated relative to the shaft. The product has been designed in three parts so that the layers can be 3D printed in line-of-force to increase strength and prevent delamination during use.
   You will need to buy 2x 40mm M8 nylon hex bolts and nuts - I sourced mine from here.
   For each assembly, you will need to 3D print 1x shaft extension, 1x clamp, 1x clevis and 2x thumbwheels. To assemble, glue the clevis to the front of the shaft extension (preferably with epoxy) - it’s been designed to only fit to the front to avoid mix-ups. Glue the clamp to the rear of the shaft extension, making sure that it’s oriented in the same direction as the clevis mount (facing upwards). Seat the M8 nuts into the clevis and clamp rebates and the two 40mm bolts into the thumbwheels. It's helpful to epoxy the bolts and nuts in place, but be careful not to get glue in the threads. Snap the shaft-extension assembly to the Manticore’s lower shaft, thread its stock bolt through the clevis and tighten in place. Thread one 40mm bolt/thumbwheel through the rear clamp and tighten (avoid over tightening) and the other to mount your favourite coil to the 3D printed clevis. Happy hunting!

   Nox 900 Carbon Fibre Lower Shaft Non-Conductive Extension

   By GoodAmount

   The Nox 900 shaft extension was designed to alleviate issues caused by having a conductive carbon fibre lower shaft bolted directly to the coil. This is particularly important for gold prospectors who are experiencing knock sensitivity when laying the shaft flat against the coil during target recovery, but it may also have benefits during the target search, especially when working tight rocky terrain where the coil is constantly rotated relative to the shaft.
   You will need to buy a 40mm and 60mm M8 nylon hex bolt and 2 nuts - I would suggest just buying two 60mm bolts and cutting them down to size. These are the ones I sourced - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003554528145.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.138c674cdkh3Wv&algo_pvid=949ce8d2-8033-47ba-8524-5b8b03a83770&algo_exp_id=949ce8d2-8033-47ba-8524-5b8b03a83770-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis!AUD!24.72!12.12!!!16.16!7.92!%402103011017185920473694307e26fe!12000026266634715!sea!AU!136322599!&curPageLogUid=mOIvLzytoqPb&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch|query_from%3A
   For each assembly, you will need to 3D print 1x shaft extension, 1x shaft extension clamp, 1x clevis nut seat and 3x bolt thumbwheels. To assemble, glue the clamp to the rear of the extender (preferably with epoxy), making sure that the area that mates with the stock shaft clevis is in the right orientation facing upwards. Seat the 60mm M8 bolt into the clevis nut seat and the 40mm bolt into one of the thumbwheels. Seat an M8 nut into the other two thumbwheels. It's helpful to epoxy the bolts and nuts in place, but being carful not to get glue in the threads. Remove the rubber inserts from the stock carbon-fibre-lower-shaft clevis and place them in the 3D printed clevis. Insert the clevis-nut-seat/bolt into the stock carbon-fibre-lower-shaft clevis and use one of the thumbwheel/nut assemblies to tighten in place. Snap the shaft-extension assembly to the stock lower shaft and thread the 40mm bolt through the clamp and tighten with the other thumbwheel/nut assembly. Attach your favourite coil. Happy hunting!

   Deus Easy Clip On Bipod

   By rexhavoc

   This Bipod twists on and off of the unique Deus shaft profile. Takes seconds to snap on and off, can be slid up and down the shaft to whatever height suits your fancy. It elevates the coil enough to wave a scoop full of materials easily.
   I printed it in PETG to give it some flexibility. PLA might be a bit brittle.

   Captain Hook's Deus HF Shaft Repair Kit

   By rexhavoc

   Broke the shaft of the 9" HF elliptical just behind the knuckle. It's weaker than the standard shafts because of the port for battery cable going to the shaft. The OEM replacement wasn't outlandishly expensive - but the shipping sure was! So, I designed this to slip on over the remainder of the bucked off shaft. Sort of like Captain Hook's peg leg, but with all the functionality of the original.
   It's a press fit, so I didn't actually have to pin it with the hole. I did it in resin, so YMMV.
   Let me know if it needs tweaks. Thanks again Steve for the space to post these files.
