Zuru Longshot TPU Buffers

thingiverse

PRINT AT 20% INFILL WITH 2-3 WALLS. I used plumber's goop to secure the "Turnaround Buffer" and the "Piston Buffer" secures via the 3 screws on the piston. EDIT: This is to reinforce the turnaround and the piston, not really for the plunger tube. I still recommend replacing the 40mm ID, 42mm OD plunger tube with one of the many replacements available from OutOfDarts, SilverFoxIndustries, etc. Like many, I got a Zuru X-Series Longshot. Like many, I cracked my plunger tube and saw the inherent issues with the thin plastic around the piston and the turnaround. In an effort to ameliorate this issue, I modeled these two parts in TPU to reduce impact on these parts. I think the included buffer spring inside the plunger tube is useless and also found the rattling annoying. General notes: This blaster currently has a SilverFox TC spring (a shortened k25 with flat ends), Silverfox plunger tube replacement (40mm ID, 42mm OD), Valour's barrel collet (https://www.printables.com/model/512063-x-shot-longshot-extended-barrel-front-end-o-ring-c), and a 45cm Kuryaka aluminum barrel (13mm ID, 16mm OD). Shoots somewhere around 230 fps with Dart Zone Pro ammunition. Let me know how this goes/how well it works. I'm happy to include STEPS but I have no idea if people will actually use this or what needs changing.
