Custom Nerf Barrel Locking Ring

thingiverse

This part is designed specifically to interact with the Nerf barrel attachment feature on all compatible blasters. It serves as a starting point for creating custom-designed Nerf barrel attachments. My goal was to design this part so that it would be extremely easy for anyone to create a custom Nerf barrel for their blaster. I hope people will do this and share their designs with the community. To achieve this, I included plenty of flexible geometry in the design, ensuring compatibility with all Nerf N-Strike barrel interfaces and most 3D printed barrel interfaces. As an example, I have already created one attachment: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2910111 To facilitate the creation process, I have also provided an ICD (interface control document) detailing this part and its mating procedure for barrels designed to use it. This should be especially helpful for those who want to create their own attachments. The interface is surprisingly simple. This part will fit snugly into the back of any barrel attachment designed to use it, secured in place with four Socket Head 2-56 screws that are half an inch long (available at True Value, McMaster-Carr, or Amazon). Alternatively, you can glue it into position if you don't have the necessary screws. There are multiple versions of this part available: some include support pillars, while others do not. Additionally, there is a normal version and a 'stiff' version for those who prefer a tighter fit to the barrel attachment point. When printing this part, it's essential to use support structures; I recommend using the STL file with integrated supports to ensure optimal results. Due to the numerous features and dimensional accuracy required, print at a slow speed if necessary, and consider scaling the file up or down by several percent if you encounter fitment issues. This is my first contribution to the free 3D printing community related to Nerf blasters.
