Modular blow dart gun

thingiverse

I crafted a blow dart gun that stands at approximately 3.3 feet tall and boasts modular design. The build consists of 4 interlocking parts that screw together seamlessly to create a fully functional blow dart gun. I've achieved impressive velocities, with the darts shooting out at up to 60 mph. To further enhance its capabilities, I plan to add innovative modules such as a snap-on scope or clip to hold the darts in place. For added structural integrity, I incorporated triangles into the bases of the design, providing essential support for taller printed pieces. A minor tweak is necessary when printing the threading near the top layers: simply trim off any excess material and sand the inside to ensure smooth operation. Inside the blow dart gun, oozing can occur during printing; a quick sanding session will help minimize imperfections and reduce friction. I've included a link to the darts I purchased for reference: https://www.amazon.com/Cold-Steel-Razor-Hunting-Weapon/dp/B001I173A0/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1514581358&sr=1-2&keywords=625+blowgun+darts. Due to potential print shrinkage, I recommend trimming a small portion from the dart's end to ensure proper fitment. Finally, be cautious not to over-tighten the threads, as excessive force may cause them to snap.
