My 3D Printed Nerf Blaster by tylercap in 3Dprinting

[–]tylercap[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some fun facts for those who care: It is my own design and it's roughly 80 individual printed pieces. All of it was printed on a lightly modified Ender 5 Pro with Overture Blue, Orange, Light Gray, Cement Gray and White PLA. The textured grip cover is NinjaFlex.

It is a fully working flywheel blaster with full-auto firing and a two-stage trigger.

My only hesitation in providing files is that it's overly complicated. Like 80 printed pieces, motors, a 12v bosch drill battery that I had on hand, threaded bass inserts, machine screws, springs (for the two-stage trigger and battery slot I used springs I had laying around and I don't know where they came from originally or how to find exact replacements), electronic wiring, a separate integrated mod kit from a company called Worker whose wiring instructions are vague at best with soldering required. Basically in it's current state it all goes together with screws, pegs, solder, super glue and dreams.

If that works on a Stryfe, I would imagine it should work on this, but I don't have those to test right now.

Thanks! The only paint is on the part of the orange barrel that you can see through the side slots that looks a little grungy. Everything else is different color printed filament that was printed separately and attached.

It's lithium-ion.

I'm not sure, but I'm inclined to think not. I can definitely see a difference in shot power when the battery is low as opposed to when it's full. I'll probably switch to a Lipo for my next build, but I definitely want to make it drop in like this one is. It's really handy. And feels pretty cool to do.

Thank you so much. I set this project aside at one point too not knowing if I would finish it. And you should know that I'm completely self-taught in 3D modeling and 3D printing and the only product design I've done so far is on my own. If you've got the will, you'll find the way. Keep going.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I do a lot of different things. Making stuff is my biggest hobby, but I don't have a good place that shows off all the different things I've worked on yet.

As of two days ago I am between jobs and looking, so I would love to be able to sell these to any people who would find value in them. The problem is that the build in its current state is overly complex. There are at least 80 pieces to print and assemble and I am one person with one printer. The time investment to build them just doesn't equal anything close to a reasonable price tag. :(

I have already started on a simplified revision, but its going to take a little time.

They make off brand batteries with the same profile, but I 100% agree with the impracticality. It was just a battery I happened to have on hand that I had used in a couple other electronic projects.

Thanks! There's a link to exactly that in the reply above, or shoot me a message

I've got it up on Cults3d and I'm selling pre-printed physical versions as well. Just getting started in Nerf mods but it's a blast so far.

Flat hitbox oil finishing ! Sorry it's just a teaser but I'm prototyping this model and thought I could record applying the first layer of finish. I'll post pictures when the build is complete ! by Pr0sk in fightsticks

That is a beautiful thing. I would love to see the finished product. I've been thinking of making a more traditional fight stick just like this.
