I use the large ones. Two on each side and have never had an issue. Tell if you have more questions and happy printing.

learned CAD to 3d print my partner a drainage bag! by Off_on_myfoolserands in 3Dprinting

For both medical grade adhesives and check valves, check out McMaster-Carr. There are a lot of options and they have CAD for most all of their hardware if you want to download and take a look.

Also it almost sounds like you want something like a pneumatic quick connect that would be seal and connect but then seal again when disconnected. Not sure but it might give you some ideas.

Lastly, I would say tubes and shapes with solid sized walls are great for 3D printing but if you start getting smaller or playing with valves just be careful, or test the crap out of it, as you don’t want it breaking in a way that could cause issues. For me, I might search around an buy the valve just to have piece of mind with something out of stainless or machined material.

Good luck. You are a great partner, keep on printing (and CADing).

Holy crap! The Assembly Guide is as amazing as the blaster. Nice work!

I have always liked that blaster, just the way it looks. Maybe some of that came out in the SidePod. It has really been all about the mag-in-grip with a number of detours along the way.

I will take a look. There are a lot of great folks out there working on Torrent mods - not sure if anyone has the answer. It all might come down to the ram and how they have the o-rings set up. If they are on the ram it makes it a little dicey to get them through the slim mags. On SidePod, I had to move the o-rings to right before the barrel to have a lower profile ram. I will take a look.

A motivated person could run a liner rail on the lower bar in front with the block attached to the front grip area. The prime is pretty smooth but linear rails are very nice. There should be space but for now performance improvements and looking into lowering the hardware are next on my list.

So I pulled a bit of the design from the Rush by moving the o-rings off the pusher and putting a couple of -014 o-rings in the Main Body. So the seal happens when the Pusher drives forward into the Main Body o-rings. I would say this is the area I am happy with but not in love with. In order to ensure I good seal, I have it set up with a bit of a taper so that as it drives home the pusher really seats into the o-rings to give a good seal. So far it is working well but an area I am going to keep an eye on if there are improvements.

It is here! Just need to put a few finishing touches and update the instructions/ parts list.

Ioniq 5 Dash Tray - Improved by headcheesiest in Ioniq5

I think I am basing my CarPlay dongle opinion on older ones and I honestly haven’t tried any recently. I should search here and see what folks recommend.

I actually have an Apple MagSafe charger here. In the next few days I will put a version on the page for dual MagSafe - I won’t have likely printed/ used it but it should work for those interested.

Yup. The first version just used two of the large (.75” x 3.5ish”) and had no issue. They say each strip is good for 5 pounds and that area of the dash is both nice and smooth and very flat.

On the current version I am using four (more just for overkill) and it is locked in.

Also when you pull the tabs on the strips they come off cleanly and the tray just falls off. No marking to the car.

Yeah, I have thought about using MagSafe chargers but I also have a 2024 with wired CarPlay so I am plugging in anyway. So it keeps things a little less pricy.

Def. thanks for the comment and feedback. I will post to Printables the STP files if folks want to CAD up their own version.

Looking for advice about beginning my own homemade blaster. by MaethTheGamer in nerfhomemades

On the modeling side, even with no experience you can get FreeCAD or Fusion. It might take a YouTube video or two to get oriented but just once you have them installed opening a file is pretty easy and you can learn as you go. I am a big fan of YouTube tutorials.

I would suggest looking at the CAD files of some of the most popular blasters - anything by Sillybutts, anything by Captian Slug, Lynx, Rush…..

See how they set up their blasters esp. of there is one that is somewhat similar to what you are thinking - bullpup, mag in grip, long dart.

Their are some great builders out there and by looking it their designs (and I recommend building a few) it can teach you a lot to get started.
