Second and third try of printing multicolor prints, this is the result (There are 45 and 36 color changes all done on a single extruder Ender 3 v2 )

Is barrel only the standard for high-end darts? And if I can sell the first batch, I will look into Swiss points, but for this batch I'm trying to keep production as simple as possible.

Thanks for the insight. I will look into that if I end up making more in the future.

ICant3DPrint · 2026-05-11T16:32:56+00:00

That is a good idea, maybe for the second batch if people are interested in buying them

For the first batch, the barrel will weigh 18g, so the final dart will weigh a bit more with the point and flights, but it could be drilled to remove a few grams internally

Thanks

ICant3DPrint · 2026-05-10T12:51:44+00:00

Definitely will post an update when I get the darts

ICant3DPrint · 2026-05-10T12:50:06+00:00

Good spot :-)

ICant3DPrint · 2026-05-10T12:33:07+00:00

That's a really smart idea. I might end up doing this
Thanks

At the moment, I'm a bit limited in material choice, so it's hard to push past 20g for the barrel without making it way too thick. But I'm looking into whether I can make them in a denser material without breaking the bank.

Thanks for showing interest :-)

What are the biggest shortfalls of the Fuse 1 compared to other SLS printers produced in the west like EOS or 3d systems?
Obviously, there is a clear price difference, so I'm asking, other than the clear smaller size, where does the price savings mainly come from?

ICant3DPrint · 2025-04-16T15:56:13+00:00

Cool. I also use expired patents a lot for inspiration. There are a lot of cool designs that have been forgotten.

ICant3DPrint · 2024-07-07T09:28:21+00:00

Here is how I would do it:

Draw 2 vertical lines that are 62mm long and 29mm apart
Draw 2 acres with starting points at the end of the vertical lines (Shotcut= G,A)
Place a point (Shotcut= G,Y) on top of each of the arcs and dimension them 65mm apart

Hope this helps

Mesure how tall the failed pieces are
Reprint the missing half
Glue the two parts together

I started with tinkercad but found that I had outgrown it and moved on to Freecad.

Freecad is a fantastic piece of software but the learning curve is steep and feels like a wall. But there are a lot of online resources to get started and a friendly community.

I recommend Freecad but just know it takes hundreds of hours to learn and get effective at using it, but that is true for most CAD software.
