NTE Series 2.0 (Skeletonized and Revised)

thingiverse

The NTE Series 2.0 is the second revision to the NTE platform and fixes a few of the problems with the original. NTE is a half length, T pull blaster that functions similarly to Taffy's Skewer. CHANGES (compared to 1.0) -Rambase now uses Taffy's excellent 'sunburst' design which gives it an insane improvement in durability. -Muzzle redesigned to look a little better and now takes nuts instead of self-tapping screws, which means the barrel actually should stay in. -Various parts are now skeletonized but should still print fine with minimal support. This blaster is still a mysterious beast and i would rather waste less filament while testing it. -Small changes to rambase and o ring slots to make it stay locked into the threaded rod better and retain the ramrod. -Grip prints horizontally. -New T pull, if it doesn't work use the old one. Intended to print at a 45 degree angle on the angled flat piece. The trigger still has some funny issues so i would recommend making sure it prints well.

The catch can be iffy however, maybe print two in case one wears down.
