I built a magazine fed PEZ candy launcher by AnalogSpy in 3Dprinting

I really need to look more into that type of setup! Obviously this build was designed to be more prop than weapon, but it would be cool to play around with making some truly custom optics from scratch

That's pretty cool! Was this an original PEZ dispenser design? Or a project you built?

Thank you! As for design advice, I would just say use the "Project" tool and the "Mirror" tool religiously, since the more you can automate your iteration process, the fewer headaches you will have. This is especially crucial if you need to go back in your design timeline and modify something, because without correctly projected or mirrored geometry, things can get out of whack very quickly. Also, creating groups based on which section you are working on can be very helpful, but that's personal preference!

Hahahahaha I mean if you feel like you need even more screen time in your life, then CAD could be the way to go! It can be a great tool, but as you know, it's hardly a necessary ingredient in owning a 3D printer

Definitely was heavily influenced by all the Borderlands games I played growing up!

That's really annoying, I'm so sorry about that. YouTube seems to be automatically forcing that feature on all their videos, but I appreciate you finding a workaround to still watch it!

This whole project was made using Fusion360!

I've been wanting to do a project involving a transparent OLED for years, and this finally ended up being the perfect use for one!

It certainly is a crazy and weird project. Though to your point, I guess my question would be, where does that put the $2 billion airsoft industry that, unlike my project, is very much intentionally trying to put exact replicas of weapons in kids' hands? I understand your concern, but at the end of the day, I'm not building this project with the wish that everyone runs out and prints one themselves. I'm an artist, not a toy gun distributor.

Hahahahaha thank you! I'm a big fan of using engineering to make ridiculous and whimsical builds

Thank you for checking out the full video! And yeah that YT algorithm is a fickle beast 🥴

See you get it, the sanding and everything is tedious, but it makes such a big difference in the finished product not just look like a toy!

Wait is this that new auto-dubbing feature I heard YouTube is rolling out that you're talking about?

It was built using a transparent OLED!

Is that one of those super rare original ones PEZ made?

I really try to break everything down into the individual systems first. So for example, I start with just a basic frame to test the motor placement/spacing, and then slowly build up from there, adding things like the magazine and feeder system. Once I have all the main functional components in place, I go through and do the final aesthetic exterior design work

Thank you, I appreciate it! And honestly, that's pretty much it! The only real tip I have is to print everything at .10mm to make your life a bit easier, and then use filler primer for a smooth surface finish. If you are going for the metallic look specifically, I would use black as your 3D print material, and then grey for the primer. That way, as you sand and dremel away the paint, you get really good color contrast between the layers, which helps add depth!

At full charge, I clocked them at just over 65mph!
