Prototype: Coyotech Hopper Mk 4

thingiverse

This is an experiment that resulted in a failed attempt at creating a 3D-printable wye for use with a Nerf blaster.\nLike commercially produced wyes, the hopper slots into the angled position, the stub fits snugly into the slot beneath the hopper, and the barrel inserts itself into the remaining space.\nThe STL file labeled "half" offers a cutaway design to reveal this project's internal structure, giving you the opportunity to critique it so I can get your input on whether or not you think it'll function properly.\nDAE files are an open-source CAD format that allows me to export my designs using Sketchup.\nVersion History:\nMk 4: Added a designated area for darts to drop into.\nMk 3: Refinements were made by smoothing out curves from 24 points per circle to 96 points per circle, while rounding the interior surface to better accommodate darts.\nMk 2: Sights were removed and a dart ramp was included.\nMk 1: Initial attempt that didn't print correctly due to improper sizing.\nPrint Settings:\nPrinter Brand: Printrbot\n Printer: Simple Black\n Rafts: No specific preference mentioned in the provided text, therefore rafts can be printed or not depending on personal preferences\n Supports: Likewise with supports
