This is an upgraded rifle barrel extension for the Nerf Strongarm. When designing this upgrade, I had two primary goals in mind. The first was to create a modifiable framework that would allow for future customizations and add-ons. The second goal was to extend the range of the darts fired from the Strongarm. Of these objectives, I believe the modifiability of the design has been achieved, but it could still be improved by incorporating the standard Nerf adapter instead of the simple four guides I originally designed. My ultimate aim is to customize and alter the appearance of the gun to give it a unique sci-fi look, and this upgrade is a good starting point. Regarding the range extension, I haven't seen any noticeable difference in distance compared to the standard Nerf darts or even the Accustrike darts. The Strongarm already fires a decent distance without the barrel extension, but there are occasional instances where the cylinder doesn't align properly, resulting in reduced range. This might be due more to the cylinder's design than the head of the dart. To continue improving this upgrade, I've included both short and long variations. Please note that the barrel is quite long and has minimal surface contact with the bed during printing. To address this issue, I designed a support system for the printer. These supports barely touch the barrel and break away easily when removing the barrel from the bed, providing enough stability without wasting material. If you prefer to print without supports, I've included both versions with and without them. Here are my recommended print settings: Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: Not necessary Supports: No Resolution: 0.1 mm Infill: 20% After printing, lightly sand the interior of the barrel using a pencil or dowel wrapped in sandpaper to ensure a smooth finish. Additionally, I recommend wrapping two to three layers of masking tape around the barrel below the ring, as it provides a tight fit and compensates for the Nerf design's ridged interior. This will help prevent the barrel from slipping out of place during use.
