FDL-1 Blaster

thingiverse

The FDL-1 is a robotic foam dart launcher that packs a high-powered punch. Fully automatic and web-enabled, this blaster can be transformed into various forms, including the handheld version showcased here. It fires Nerf Mega size darts with incredible speed and accuracy, boasting a capacity of 12 shots and ranges over 100' when shooting parallel to the ground. I've personally witnessed it hit speeds of up to 120fps on a chronograph, making it an intense and awe-inspiring experience.

Watch the FDL-1 in action: Print Settings: Printer Brand: Printrbot Printer: Simple Black Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.254 Infill: 20% Notes: This design is optimized to fit within a 6x6x6" bed, using a 0.4mm nozzle as the minimum requirement. While supports are not necessary, a brim around the long, slender parts will help with printing. I always use a heated bed and have only printed the FDL-1 in PLA, finding it to be more accurate and stronger than ABS, while also being easier on my printers. To achieve optimal results, some light sanding may be required, as well as a 6-32 and a 10-32 tap for threading holes. I've made every effort to design the FDL-1 with print-and-play ease in mind; however, slight adjustments may still be necessary due to variations in printer performance.
