DL44 misc parts

thingiverse

This is some parts for the DL-44 blaster at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1915956, specifically a grip screw head and the round silver thing on the side of the receiver which makes it easier to paint. I swapped out the trigger mechanism to use 5mm rods instead of plastic ones that kept breaking. I used brass bearing tubes I had lying around in my drawer. To make room for the rubber band, I made some cutouts. A spring actually fits between the hammer and switch. I also added a switch holder for a 6mm mini switch which can be glued to one side of the main trigger mechanism part. This way, the mechanism can still be disassembled if the rubber band snaps. The hammer was modified so it can hold a spring with an outer coil diameter of about 5.5 mm. I printed the hammer with extra perimeters to make it stronger. The hammer mechanism was changed to a 3mm hole as that is the diameter of the brass tube I had, to avoid breaking a printed pin from the force of the spring.
