New BoomCo Dart Plug

thingiverse

Derived from BoomTendo's dart stem concept for Mattel's revamped BoomCo darts. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3223065 The current production darts feature hollow heads that can expand inside a friction-fit barrel with sufficient air pressure, but plugging the hole restricts air from pressurizing the dart heads. Insert dimensions should measure 5.25mm in diameter after print; adjust via scale in slicer software as necessary for optimal fitment and installation. Using flex filament is highly recommended for easy fitment and installation. Revised darts weigh an average of 1.35g, whereas the original BoomCo dart weighs 1.45g; inserting this design should raise the average weight to approximately 1.5g. Initial tests have demonstrated stable flight patterns at speeds of 110-120fps. https://youtu.be/nPMM8BV7Pjk The +3 version adds an extra 3mm to the hollow shaft, which remains untested; feel free to be the test subject and potentially discover greater stability or altered weight balance.
