Description

Disclaimer: I did not design this. Will, a commentator on my blog ( makerblock.com/2011/03/can-we-make-a-printed-nerf-dart-shooter/#comments ) , left a link to this page ( nerfhaven.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20819 ) at Nerfhaven.com where a member named SorrowX uploaded pictures, design files, and STL's for his rapid prototyped Nerf Blaster. I've uploaded the STL's here. I suspect these parts will be way oversized to allow printing on a MakerBot. However, I'm hopeful others can build on SorrowX's excellent work.

Instructions

1. Print
2. Assemble?

Hey there everyone, never thought I'd see this outside of a nerf forum. Addressing Mike77's challenge of making a modular version, I've already been Designing, printing and selling these things via Nerfhaven. hers a few links to some pics:

The first 2 pics show off a revolver system similar to the one you linked to, aside for the fact that it indexes for each barrel and can attach to any other modified or homebuilt nerf blaster with a 1/2" CPVC coupler.
The same attachment feature applies to the hopper clip shown in the 3rd pic.

f you guys want some more info, just drop me an email: gothicslushie@yahoo.com

Also, email me some pics if anyone else builds one!

Looks possible to combine both http://www.thingiverse.com/thi... 's revolver mechanism and this. There's a scaling issue to address, and some fittings to cobble to get a good seal, but looks very do-able.

Additionally, if we make the pistol-grip a separate piece it's likely printable on any of the major printers, and I bet I can even dodge most of the support material needs to boot!

I actually own one of the guns and they function quite well.

I'll take a shot at making it modular... I've always wanted a double-barreled nerf gun.

I was looking at the video, and there's an additional small piece at the front, a small tube. I think I may keep the pistons and such, but I'm not certain why the rest is actually needed other for appearance. wonder if it might work with http://www.thingiverse.com/thi... 's revolver mechanism...

Well, it doesn't HAVE to print on a Makerbot. Pretty much all other printers allow way larger parts.

Very true! However, I have to admit that it ties rather nicely into my post for today about slicing large models with OpenSCAD... http://blog.makerbot.com/2011/...

And, really, even if I could print it as a much larger thing, I think I'd rather it in small parts. I just like the idea of field stripping a nerf zapper into dozens of tiny partss...
