Blow Dart Gun

thingiverse

This is a Blow Dart designed specifically for use with 1/2 inch PVC pipes, along with the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece was created by printing at 102% scale in ABS plastic with a 30% infill and three outer layers. A three-minute soak in boiling water allowed it to slide easily onto the PVC pipe, where it remained securely attached after cooling. The dart itself was printed on a Tevo Tornado using Simplify3D software in vase mode, with sixteen top layers at a layer height of 0.3mm. This resulted in a solid area through which a 4d 1-1/2 inch Bright Finish nail could be slid with ease. The end of the nail was slightly tapered to ensure it sank securely into the plastic and locked in place, providing additional stability. The darts were printed out of ABS material.
