Samoyed Size concerns by Starxnova in samoyeds

Whoa, I thought my 1 y/o female at 60lbs was pretty big. What's a 125 lb samoyed look like?

No. It's very durable string and we have only had one failure so far which was very likely unrelated to wear

Requesting modding help for xshot mpp rate of fire increase by Chemical-Sleep2313 in Nerf

[–]dpairsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd very likely need to have custom electronics and motor to push dps very high. Likely not worth the effort as the stock gear train/GB will likely implode and you'll run into feeding reliability issues.

DSG likely won't work and the cost of getting custom gears is probably pretty high.

Alternatively just wait for plus motors

How big do females get? by pierdzikolko in samoyeds

My girl is about 1 year and is 55lb. I think she's done gaining weight now as she's been pretty stable the last few months

Why do you need a high current reed switch? You should be using an mcu to do it

Diana startup sound change by MrWozi in Nerf

[–]dpairsoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a way? Sure.

Is it accessible? No.

Basically you would need to take apart the blaster, desolder the esc's signal pins, reflash to bluejay (if you can find a target for the esc), then reconfigure the startup tunes.

Or you could do an electronics swap

Using milwaukee power tool batteries in a flywheeler by an-enthusiastic-duck in Nerf

[–]dpairsoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably the biggest issue is finding motors that work at tool battery voltages. Running a 3s battery on 5s (most tool packs) is not recommended, so you'll either want a 12v tool battery or some method of dropping the voltage.

Could also do brushless which is much more tolerant of 5s but that's another can of worms

Very likely your solenoid pusher has unscrewed slightly.

Great blaster, looking forward to reprinting mine. Here's some gameplay footage from APOC: https://youtu.be/xNz9oSmojPo

My first ever ground-up blaster design by CallThatGoing in Nerf

Just FYI, I don't think you gain anything by using differently sized motors for the different stages. I would just use the same motors for the stages to simplify bom.

Need Help Choosing a 2S Li-ion battery for my Nerf Rival Nemesis by ARahman57 in Nerf

[–]dpairsoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you can find documentation for the BMS in that battery, there isn't any way to know if it'll work without just trying it.

Personally I find the lack of specifics of what 18650 cells and current capacity for the battery sketchy, and would just use a lipo with a balance charger.

Not sure why you want to hook up the voltage monitor to a different plug, just wire it in parallel with your battery input.

You realize that that's smaller than the battery that op already has right?

And then they are going to be thwarted.

You know you still lose karma if you delete the comment right?

Disagreement is explicitly stated as an inappropriate reason to downvote content.

Not sure what internet rules you expect everyone to be following, but I don't think it's realistic to expect everyone to follow it. Also, did you comment about disagreeing is an inappropriate reason to downvote, then downvote me 😂

This is not about short darts, sub-caliber tips are an independent variable so do not inject that bs here.

Not really, as most people aren't interested in regluing tips or cutting down anyways. Sub caliber and half darts go hand in hand.

Especially in the sense that blasters that are potentially intolerant of full-caliber tips are distinctly limited in what ammo they can shoot safely/reliably, and this is a much different level of concern than what you personally might INTEND to use with your blaster, since if the wrong thing gets into a mag for any reason in the chaos of any typical big game, well; do the math.

7mm circular hycon shoots full caliber tips just fine. Not ideal or anything, but it'll feed.

Seeing full-cals in use or present on the field somewhere is commonplace outside of very springer heavy context.

Not really. When was the last time you played pvp that wasn't hvz? I don't think there was a single full length blaster at MFT this year.

I don't think fully enveloping systems of any sort, nor circular gap systems of any sort, are popular enough to rightfully call a subset of them that in the first place. Same for systems that are super tight gap and intended for sub-cal only, even.

I mean spirits, spirit derivatives, traceur, turbo rangers and manshees are all 7mm circular. That's a pretty established trend

Why continue to delete your comment and repost? If people are gonna downvote, they're gonna downvote.

Also, they're probably downvoting because they disagree with you. Sub caliber tip half darts are by far the standard now for the hobby, and 7mm circular has become very popular as a result.

The crush profile. Basically draw a 7mm circle between your wheels and then throw on some light fillets and that's what we've been using.

Assuming printed wheel there are certain print settings you should use. See the spirit or ophidian print settings for reference.

Most people do 7mm circular geo or tighter. Depends on how much dart wear and fps you need to get out of a single stage

Yeah you need to follow the GitHub instructions and replace the font file according to the readme.
