Nerf Pilot - Safety Switch Breech Release

prusaprinters

This is a fairly simple mod for the Nerf Rival Pilot that enables opening the Breech using the Safety switch! It should be compatible with basically every other Pilot mod, except for the Thumb Release print on Thingiverse. This mod is not a drop-in, however it will only require trimming some minor internal parts - please see the photo gallery for an overview of all parts that need to be modified. I recommend Flush Cutters, a hobby knife, and possibly some fine sandpaper for this.Some trimming is optional. If you would like the Safety switch to toggle, you can leave that part unmodified. If you would like to be able to open the Breech when priming the blaster, you can leave the lower part of the Breech locking lever unmodified. It's best to print this part with lots of walls to make sure it holds up to repeated stress. The main file is presupported, and requires using an up to date slicer (Cura, Prusaslicer, etc) that has the “Print Thin Walls” option or similar. If you are using a slicer without this option, I recommend printing the “SafetyLever_UnSupported_NerfPilot” file with Supports.The print orientation might be a bit wonky, but it is intended to be printed flat for maximum strength. The intended printing orientation should be fairly clear. The concept for this mod was inspired by a design by BuilderBB for the Nerf Rival Fate! Please feel free to send a comment or DM if you have any questions!
