Kanetana 0.4

thingiverse

This is my fourth attempt at creating a fixed magazine for short dart nerf blasters, but my first attempt that I highly recommend trying for yourself without doing a major edit upfront. Try version 0.7 or 0.8 instead for the best results. Dart output is a 5/8 inch socket. The recommended material is one that has a loose fit for the darts; I prefer .625" x .527" aluminum. It fits 1/2 inch rods or tubes for the pusher, but the hole needs to be reamed to size. I use a 0.501 inch reamer followed by a 0.510 inch reamer. There is some support material modeled in - The 1mm walls in the gap are meant to be removed. So, I recommend using a material that you can work on afterwards, so that they can be removed effectively, or you edit the CAD file to do something more clever than I did. I used neodymium 12x3mm disc magnets for the door return. You can try anything you want, but the holes are modeled 13mm in diameter, so it has to fit in there. There is no door swing limiter, which is a pretty big omission, but it can be kludged on later relatively easily. Mine isn't attached to a blaster yet, but it works OK despite a very sad ABS story on the front. Unlike previous versions, this one has a bolt pattern for mounting to a plate or whatever, so you don't NEED to use a mountain of hot glue. It's still an option if that's how you roll. While this should work more or less as-is, the step file is provided so you can edit it to your taste. I have a video primarily about version 0.6, but it does also feature the 0.4 and 0.5 briefly to explain why they are worse than the later versions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ni68yOdQgs
