NERF Flywheel Mk21 "Meaker's Hawk"/"Great Meaked Owl"

thingiverse

Due to ongoing issues with Thingiverse, all key blaster files hosted here have been removed and will be rehosted or updated on my Etsy shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/meakerarms). Thank you for your support. *** This is a redraw of Ansuzalgiz's [Falcon](https://github.com/Ansuzalgiz/Falcon/blob/master/README.md). At the time of redraw, it was licensed under the [GNU/GPL 3.0](https://github.com/Ansuzalgiz/Falcon/blob/master/LICENSE), which permits commercial use, modification, distribution, patent use, and private use; has limitations on liability and warranty, and requires the license and copyright notice I am providing here and linked above. The blaster uses FTW microflywheels available [here](https://flywheeltheworld.com/). The change summary is that I adjusted the whole thing to be single stage and smaller to fit on my 6"^3 print bed without splitting any part. This involved reorienting the battery tray to be vertical, which is why the large box is on the front. I also adjusted the appearance, fixed some tolerance issues with the magwell/grip and mechanical components (they were too tight when printed as-provided initially), and renamed it to "Meaker's Hawk" because hawks typically have smaller wingspans and are slower than falcons. My source is included as is the link to the original source files. I haven't tested this with electronics hardware installed, but also haven't changed it. I did switch to 1/2" #6 course thread screws (eg: Plastite, Drywall, Sheet Metal; M3.5 should also work) instead of threaded inserts and bolts. Parts include: - [Flywheel-the-world Flywheel](www.flywheeltheworld.com) flywheel pair - 2x [honeybadger motors](https://outofdarts.com/collections/motors/products/mtb-honey-badger-130-motor-for-nerf-blasters) - [Microswitch](https://outofdarts.com/collections/parts/products/21a-microswitch-button-clone) - [Xt60 connector](https://outofdarts.com/collections/parts/products/xt-60-connector-nylon-male-female-pair) (or connectors for your pack) - [16/18 gauge stranded wire](https://outofdarts.com/collections/parts/products/18-awg-hobby-wire-fine-strand-5-red-and-5-black) - [Heat shrink](https://outofdarts.com/collections/parts/products/heat-shrink-wrap-3-16-inch-1-foot-length) - Small compression spring (McMaster 9657K266 for 6) - Small extension spring (McMaster 9654K971 for 12) - M2 motor mounting screws (x4/5; I've had issues with printed cages and x4) - Plastic safe grease for moving parts - Appropriate Lipo or other battery pack capable of supplying 28A continuous at stall (Outside dimensions should be less than: 97x24x39mm; some space for extra tether/alarm but not much), charger, and optionally [alarm](https://outofdarts.com/collections/batteries/products/lipo-voltage-alarm-3-with-led-display-for-safe-operation-balance-port-connector) WIP because I always select that. I don't foresee critical changes; the parts fit together, and the ones that might have issues could be adjusted easily in post.
