Nerf Semi-Automatic Brushed Flywheel Blaster

thingiverse

A highly customized semi-automatic flywheel blaster is designed specifically for .50 full length foam darts. It employs DC brushed motors ranging from 130-180 can size and lengths, making all flywheels under 36mm outer diameter a perfect fit, with a center distance of 43mm crush. By default, it's top-loadable, but that's the only option available. Unfortunately, it's not designed for left-handed users. Extra features include an optional crappily designed foregrip and mount that replaces the central front component of the magwell, a 14mm tightbore cage option, and battery tray sizes ranging from 16mm to 24mm in height. Assembly requires M3 screws (preferably countersunk for most sections) varying in length from 5mm to 20mm (or up to 25mm depending on assembly choice). There are multiple ways to fill screw posts, and not all of them need to be used for respectable structural integrity. A 2mm thick, 10-25mm long pin is necessary for the pinion gear in the pusher rack. Additionally, one extension spring 3cm in length is required for the pusher, as well as a spring similar in size and strength to a Retaliator catch spring for the mag release. This blaster is designed for use with full-sized 15A to 21A switches and will fit on any printer with a build volume of at least 140x140mm. Please note that this design is extremely flawed, functionally inferior to a decent Stryfe in almost every way. It was mainly an exercise to learn how to model and make something functional. Don't expect anything extraordinary or even worth your time if you decide to assemble one. However, feel free to use the files as you see fit, no credit or attribution is necessary.
