A solution for printable & higher capacity half mags, under the Worker Talon platform. They are modular, disassemblable, screwless, glueless, tooless, and effortless to assemble.
Designed with the intent to far exceed worker's 17rnd capacity, even for small build-area printers. It utilizes a FoamBlast drum spring, like my previous iteration of KaThanha mags.

ASSEMBLY:
- 2x ThanhlonBody
- 1x ThanhlonFollower
- 1x ThanhlonSleeve
- 1x FoamBlast Drum Spring
^To expand capacity (optional): - 2x ThanhlonExtensionBody
- 1x ThanhlonExtensionSleeve
SUPPORTS:
Yes, only from build plate. And only for the mag body sides
QUALITY SETTINGS:
Between .2 to .3 Layer height. .3 to .5 Line width
NOTABLE FEATURES:
-
"Knurling":
These mags feature a type of pseudo knurling/guide-rail pattern on the inside walls to help smoothen feeding. The biggest reason friction builds up from inserting too many darts is because they rub on the inside walls; changing the grain orientation on the surface that makes contact with the darts into being parallel with the movement of the darts seems to make a profound difference.
Thus, these tiny lines tricks your slicer into making the print grain parallel to dart travel. This way I can force the top wall into correct orientation on a multitude of printer setups without having to manually mess with wall orientation settings. -
Antisheering Dovetails:
Locking tabs now feature friction fitting concave and convex grooves along the sides to help lock in the dove tails and protect against sheering motion. -
Second mag catch slot:
Much like KaThanhas, there is a secondary lower mag slot that's in-line with Hasbro's mag release position. You can just shorten your blaster and ditch the adapter. - Jungling:
You can stick the mags end-to-end and "jungle" them through the ExtensionSleeve.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:
-
If sleeve too tight:
It's likely sagging from the area the supports were holding (at the bottom of the mag). Simply sand or melt with a lighter and press in a bit at that region. Or, supports were not sufficiently removed. - Overinsertion into adapter:
Sometimes the insertion stops on some adapters are a bit too small. It's optional to take off the supports on one side of the mag to mimic the dimensions of actual talons; you can leave a bit at the top to guarantee stopage
