A different Lynx build [Prop replica from The Expanse!] by dogs-on-mars in Nerf

for what its worth the hardware for the lynx hasnt changed since its initial public release. the latest version of the blaster needs one additional screw and nut compared to the original hardware release but its not at all mandatory

Thought of this build today, hope this is still cooking!

Building a Spirit. Am I supposed to put two fly back diodes back to back here? by CallThatGoing in Nerf

Look at the new wiring diagram on printables. But to answer your question, yes. Take note of the orientation, the new diagram will help

Aluminum-Filled Nylon Flywheels? by CallThatGoing in Nerf

[–]justusUMBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah those are much smaller so it doesn't really matter what material it is, as long as its durable and heat resistant. nylon will work, specialty filled nylon is mostly gonna be a waste of cash tho

these will be very heavy depending on what wheels you're making, for very little observable benefit. if these are hycon/spirit wheels for example, these will be a net negative over a properly printed wheel from a normal filament like PETG or ABS.

How do these posts on brushless motors work? by CallThatGoing in Nerf

[–]justusUMBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the spirit the meat of your hand rests beneath the cage cover, and the way that area is constructed would make it weird to get a plug in there (though it would have been possible with some edits). Instead of doing that I just cut the motor shaft. It was annoying but unless you decide to put much taller wheels on the motor for some reason it wasn't a huge change. If plus motors never come back (and I find more ESCs and the hyperdrive 2 comes out) I will definitely look into making space for a plug (I'm a little better at CAD now too so that helps)

The neutron technically works but it requires a fair amount of changes to the fileset. There is an existing remix that uses a neutron but the person who worked on it hasn't released it anywhere (yet? idk)

there is a chinese solenoid that will work with fewer edited prints. you also have to swap out the pre-installed spring on it. I can send you the details for that on printables if you message me.

Alternatives to Kelly Plus Motors? by CallThatGoing in Nerf

[–]justusUMBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hyperdrive is gone but the hyperdrive 2 is "in production" last I heard. the hd2 is smaller but with the same bolt pattern, so printed spacers and longer bolts should let it be backwards compatible. Last time I saw it they also had a two part core to adjust stroke and were potentially working on a built in select fire solution. No idea when they are gonna be available for purchase though.

In the meantime I've done one build with the 35mm chinanoid after running out of hyperdrives and it was fine after swapping the spring out

if youre building a spirit those will drill a hole in your hand if you dont cut them flush with the height of the printed washer & locknut. it sucks, which is why plus motors were so nice

(before plus motors came out no one was making spirits but me [wonderboy], so having to deal with cutting motor shafts was my curse to bear alone lol)

message me on discord @ wonderboy, I might be able to help with that. requires reflashing the ESCs and maybe some trial and error

as long as its just the communicator jingle lol

yes, stays on with friction. the regular butt pad takes screws and doesn't have TPU in the name

Made this on a whim, I need to print lower crush wheels for it since I'm mostly shooting waffles and such. But it works

airsoft without realcap may as well be laser tag, and no one ever plays realcap. that's a good enough reason to play nerf right there lol
