1st stage prototype kit for the Nerf Rival Zeus Blaster, I have been working on this for a few weeks now as a passion project and this for now is the 1st full prototype. The kit is designed to be held together by M2 countersunk screws (4-8mm,2x25mm and 2x20mm), I have tried my best to make it as material friendly as possible while still hopefully retaining enough strength to withstand play.
All parts have a fairly obvious side that's designed to be on the printer floor, and it should be fine to print in PLA, although I do not have a printer to test this. If anyone does wish to test this and would give me feedback so I can alter the design to better fit that would be a huge help for future modelling!
Quick (theoretical) Set up
1- Remove the blasters front iron sight and bar that holds it.
2- Slide on the front "Barrel" Attachment
3- Secure it with the top pin (near where the iron sight was located) and lock in with a M2 Countersunk screw (4-8mm should work fine)
4-Attach the slider part to the inner grip section with 2 x 25-30mm M2 Countersunk screws
5-Side the grip on and secure with one 4mm screw via the front of the barrel
6-Attach the left and right grip panels using 4-8mm Screws
7-Slide in the bottom connector and connect via side rails using 8mm screw the parts
8-Remove 2 lowest screws on the blasters handle
9-Slide on the handle connector and use the 25mm screws to secure the part onto the handle
10-Screw the handle connector to the bottom connector using 4mm or 8mm countersunk screws
NOTE-Some parts may require minor sanding , however I hope my measurements are accurate enough that they shouldn't.
NOTE #2 - Assembly file IS NOT for printing, its just to show the assembled parts
Note#3- Apologies for the weird image, I had screenshot it but I have no idea why it came out the way it did
