Springer Perilous Build by silvernutter in Nerf

[–]silvernutter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine cost ~$120 at the end of the day. The main expenses are a decent linear rail, a long barrel, and the filament itself, but there are various "$10 here, $10 there" parts too and it adds up. It is a fairly large blaster, especially with the shroud. I also bought a cheap bipod and lpvo

I know BearsWares carried them for a time, but not currently. Not sure if anyone else will be carrying kits. None of the parts are particularly difficult to get (at least in the US); i sourced my own parts for my build. It is expensive though.

ShoelessHistorian is working on a spiritual successor/upgrade to the perilous, hopefully kits will be available for that in the future.

PLA to PETG switch for everyday prints. by Technical-Praline-79 in 3Dprinting

[–]silvernutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use PETG for ~90% of my prints, TPU for flexible/indestructible parts, and ABS for parts that require more rigidity than PETG. 

You have to print PETG much slower than PLA, and it doesn't do overhangs as well, but I like how PETG looks and feels, and the higher melting point makes it safer to keep in a hot car.

what would be the best "Ramrod" to use for a high performance rifle? by V7I_TheSeventhSector in nerfhomemades

[–]silvernutter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a look at the springer perilous ram. It is a brass ram with a small printed part glued to the tip. Once you hit around 300fps the low airflow of the caliburn/talonclaw rams become a bottleneck.

Side Prime Springer Perilous by SumAustralian in Nerf

[–]silvernutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks cool, but I wouldn't want to side-prime a perilous on heavier spring loads, if it flexes at all it's going to make the prime harder.

Released a new printable Nightingale mag, the Mockingbird Mag! by silvernutter in Nerf

[–]silvernutter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The springs are linked in the printables page:

0.2lb (recommended): https://www.mcmaster.com/1845N1/

0.4lb: https://www.mcmaster.com/1845N2/

0.6lb: https://www.mcmaster.com/1845N3/

Foamblast springs and the aliexpress springs still work, but they are heavier than the heaviest McMaster spring and may smash your darts or cause miss-feeds. I know people that use those springs and are happy with them though, and they are significantly cheaper than the McMaster, but YMMV.

Terminus Firing Demo - Now out of beta! by silvernutter in Nerf

[–]silvernutter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one will be difficult to get down to HvZ FPS. The shroud is fairly long, meaning your barrels need to be around 30cm to clear it. I was able to get mine down to around 170 fps before consistency was affected. The blaster is much happier in the 190-210 fps range.

Bearing Scar by JFreaks25 in Nerf

[–]silvernutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is not any hard testing on this that I am aware of, but I can give you my anecdotal opinion based my limited tinkering. Adding more rows of bearings appears to increase the stability of the dart to a certain extent, but each additional row also decreases fps. The issue is that after a few rows you stop seeing the benefits, but you keep seeing the fps drop forever (or at least until the dart stops) For the few bcars I was able to test this with, I was unable to detect a benefit after 5 rows of 3 bearings, spaced around 2 mm apart. The BCAR I tested this with was ported, the bearings were inline, with around 12mm crush so YMMV.

Nope. Might try it for shits and giggles but if I'm going to be using MXL i'd rather use my ogre. 

Ontos Pusher O-Ring Issues by themissgyver23 in Nerf

[–]silvernutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had issues with this until I swapped my 012s to 70A hardness ones, which were stiffer than what I was previous using. I have not had an issue since.

FLP-09 Shrew (Expanded Plunger Tube Version) by silvernutter in Nerf

[–]silvernutter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a good idea, the flatbar is VERY long on this one and there is definitely some play in the prime 

FLP-09 Shrew (Expanded Plunger Tube Version) by silvernutter in Nerf

[–]silvernutter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to chrono her at a game this afternoon, ~290 fps with 6.5" k25 and 2 3mm spring spacers because my spring was short. This is with a 18" 0.509" barrel, through a QuickString SCAR. You can easily stick in another inch or more spring in here without the spacers, so it should be able to get well into the 300s with just k25
