Sweetheart Storm 2023 - Custom Handguards

prusaprinters

This is a selection of custom hand-guards for the Sweetheart Storm 2023 foam dart blaster.  I started making these to match different barrel lengths and to have some fun with mixing up the look of my blaster.  These are designed to mount in the same manner as the stock metal hand-guard and the CQB versions (integrated rail) do not require any additional hardware.  The top rail is dimensioned to match the stock rail of the 2023 model; it may not be an exact match for earlier (or later) versions of the blaster.  The styling of the CQB versions borrow from parts that I have seen (Ultra Short Hand-guard) but that I wasn't able to get in my order from the Storm's creator.All hand-guards/rails have small access slots for the barrel mount set screws.CQB versions are not intended for accessory mounting, except for on the top rail.Versions with standard 7mm slots are modeled to match the stock metal hand-guard pattern, but do not have the same strength and must be treated accordingly.  In other words, don't mount anything valuable on this unless you're prepared to take that risk.Versions with a separate rail will require M4 bolts (Hex Button Head or Hex Socket Head Cap Screw) and T-nuts - these can be re-used from the rail that comes with the metal hand-guard, or these will need to be acquired separately.Current Versions:CQB Hand-guard - 108.6mm long (first model)CQB-Plus Hand-guard - 148.6mm long (extended model) & front end detailing has been updated to be easier to printSloped Front 2-slot Version - shorty with a little flair, intended for use with the matching top rail partSloped Front 3-slot Version - medium length with a little flair, intended for use with the matching top rail partPrinting Recommendations:4 perimeters (0.4mm nozzle) recommendedPrint CQB versions on the front face; no supports required; brim depends on your bed adhesionPrint Sloped Front versions on the back face; supports required (from the bed only) for the internal stiffening ring; brim depends on your bed adhesion
