Adventure Force / Dart Zone Spectrum Modifications

thingiverse

Just finished up a full week of development work and 60+hours of printing, testing and iterating, but the results are definitely worth it! Custom designed parts include: - 3D printed muzzle delete - 3D printed DZ rail - 3D printed flywheel cage - custom for Spectrum - 3D printed concave "high crush" flywheels - 3D printed battery tray for 900mAh 60C LiPo - 3D printed DZ to buffer tube adapter - 3D Printed motor cover (for 180 motors) - not required for 130 motors Community parts: - 3D printed mag release (compatible with Nerf "bump" mags (by BuffdaddyNerf) - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4565982 - 3D printed stock / butt (by 3DTAC) - https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/3dtac-phanton-ar15-stock-airsoft-only Other mods include: - 180 Motor upgrade https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33017652478.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1e874c4dytgvlM - 900mAh LiPo 60C 2S pack with XT-60 connector https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32984751025.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1e874c4dytgvlM - Omron clone flywheel switch https://outofdarts.com/collections/electronics/products/21a-microswitch-clone - Rewire with dual 16AWG Overall everything went together really well, and this is an excellent platform for getting incredible performance at bargain basement prices! The blaster costs ~$20USD here in Canada, the motors cost $2 each, the LiPo pack was $11, the switch was $2 and the wire was what I had laying around. The rest of the parts are all 3D printed and probably a total of $10 worth of material. So for less than $50 you can have a full-blown 130FPS+ high-accuracy LiPo-powered flywheel blaster that largely retains the stock looks. The purpose of this project was to "democratize" a high performance readily available flywheel semi-auto blaster platform that could be built by anyone with a 3D printer and $50 to burn. My small contribution to a great community of builders, tinkerers, engineers, dreamers, artists and otherwise handy folks. Thanks to all!
