Nerf Rival Zeus Ball Feeder & Top Plate

thingiverse

This is a set of parts for modding the Nerf Zeus Rival to expand the Ball feeder and add a blower motor for pneumatic ball feeding. These are parts I've designed to share with the Nerf modding community, all of which are designed to pair with the parts list below and be plug-and-play. (Some gluing required) I've adapted these parts to be self-stabilized, and work with the mounting points provided on the original Nerf gun. This set contains U-Joints, a Reducer Coupling with a loading flap, and a replacement top plate for the Zeus Rival. Print Settings Printer: PolyPrinter 229 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.25mm Infill: Optional Notes: The U-Joints have been arranged to reduce the need for support. Also, the Top Plate doesn't need support at all. The Top Loader / Reducing Coupler needs support to hold the overhangs. (I tried printing without support in the pipe, but this failed a couple times before I decided to print with support) I would recommend using Craft Ware to slice the models. It does a nice job with how it creates support material.

In order to deal with some of the sub mm details, I scaled up the model by a factor of 10, then built the model. This helped greatly with tight curves and small details. Once the model was finished, I scaled everything back to 1x and saved the files.
