This my 3k, and since I have little to no sense of repeatable accuracy, I put a short piece of CPVC that I look though to line up with the 2ft barrel.

#286603 Printed Nerf Gun

Posted by k9turrent on 05 October 2010 - 02:19 PM in Homemades

I hope you are thinking of making your blaster look wicked sick or utilizing some kind of innovative design, because otherwise, using this to make blasters is quite unnecessary.

So this is my personal design so far, no rendering or prettified edges yet.



#286579 Printed Nerf Gun

Posted by k9turrent on 04 October 2010 - 09:28 PM in Homemades

I'm thinking of doing something kind of like the nitefinder, just a simple body with a barrel to put the dart in, a handle, a trigger, and a cocking mechanism.


Do you really want this setup?



#286566 Printed Nerf Gun

Posted by k9turrent on 04 October 2010 - 05:43 PM in Homemades

I poked around on the site, and I found that they sell a 3d scanner. I wonder if it can scan Nerf gun parts, and then you could print them in ABS.


Well thats only for the laser cut pieces, you still have to supply the other $250 equipment.

Any who I've almost finished the mechanics of the pistol



#286532 Printed Nerf Gun

Posted by k9turrent on 03 October 2010 - 09:46 PM in Homemades

I've been wanting to get a 3d printer for a while but I don't have the $700 to dish out for one.

Give a week and I'll send you a design to try out

The 3K mega-pistol has been revived:

Plus this on is hitting over 100, Not even a perfect seal



#285749 Insane Bna

Posted by k9turrent on 19 September 2010 - 09:05 PM in Homemades

The plunger consist of a long and skinny metal rod, with a ring of E tape. It is bent around the string to hold it.

Anyone else hoping for this to go wrong, right in front of his face?

I'm sure someone could make a blackpowder nerf gun, or something ridiculous like that, but the purpose of nerfing isn't to propel a dart as far as humanly possible. We play with toys.

It's been done, the idiots fired a tagger out of .44 black powder. it didn't end well.


And without further a do...

OBVIOUS TROLL IS OBVIOUS
STOP FEEDING THE TROLL

So after getting my laptop fixed after dropping it....

Things I have learned:
  • Don't drop your laptop
  • If the laptop performance suck after the drop, Check if the fan in moving.
  • Don't drop your laptop
Well before the fix, the mobo was running at 72C, and now it's back to 40C

And the air circulation to the HDD suck in my sony.

Maybe you already answered this, but does the catch at the end of the plunger rod require a lathe to fabricate? Thanks, and fabulous work (again): can't wait to get my hands on one.


No I've made a simillar catch in the last couple days, I only needed a drill and dremel for the face plate and a set of hardware for the rod



#282779 At2k Problem

Posted by k9turrent on 10 August 2010 - 08:40 PM in Modifications

Use a drill bits smaller than the tubing, and squeeze the tubing into the hole



#282236 Which Saw To Get?

Posted by k9turrent on 05 August 2010 - 06:14 PM in General Nerf

If you lack control to cut rather straight with a dremel or handsaw, I don't want to know what will happen to you using a scroll saw. So firstly, you should build control and experience with your dremel before you go to bigger saws and stuff. Practice makes perfect!


Well I'm rather crappy at making clean cuts with a dremel, yet I can band saw rather precisely. Different set of skill but same concept.



#282164 Which Saw To Get?

Posted by k9turrent on 04 August 2010 - 11:03 PM in General Nerf

....but one slip at the band saw and in an instant you might need to start learning about prosthetic arms. If you do get a band saw, learn how to adjust and use all the blade guards, and set them up carefully every single time.


Seconded, I've taken off a good chunk of flesh off my thumb knuckle from not using a part plusher.



#282156 Which Saw To Get?

Posted by k9turrent on 04 August 2010 - 09:41 PM in General Nerf

I would rather use a Bandsaw, but for nerf purposes a scrollsaw would do the job.

You sir, are an idiot!



#280482 Stampede Official Nerf Demo Coverage

Posted by k9turrent on 17 July 2010 - 08:19 AM in General Nerf

I can probably guess how it works.

imagine a recon:

1. the PT doesn't move as the bolt moves forward to chamber a dart, and compresses a spring

2. the bolt moves back into the PT firing the dart

rinse and repeat



#280475 Official Steam/pc Gaming Thread

Posted by k9turrent on 17 July 2010 - 05:21 AM in Off Topic

The VAIO you linked would work pretty well for gaming, as long as you go into the BIOS and devote some more RAM to the graphic chipset.

I've always like VAIOs. They look really sleek, and their build quality seems pretty good. K9, is the keyboard on that model backlit? If so, then thats probably the model I'll buy when I go off to college.

On the laptop subject, never buy HP.


The Fw line doesn't usualy have the backlit keys, but you really don't need it, especially if you need to game covertly in class.



#280446 Official Steam/pc Gaming Thread

Posted by k9turrent on 16 July 2010 - 07:48 PM in Off Topic

Yes yes yes...We can all get that for $729 at TigerDirect. I'm not sure how much it's gonna be like that, but it seems like a good deal. A few questions K9, since you're in college, how hard is it to lug around? Does it fit into a standard 17" neoprene case and backpack?

~Nrg

EDIT: Here's a link.


The model you linked to is a couple steps down from mine, I have a full Gig for the GPU, mind you I bought mine last year so the price has droppped.

Weight to me is an issue, I personally bike/bus to class and it is a bitch. The days I don't have to bring it in, I'm so friggin glad, Cause the computer + gear (Gaming mouse, charger & random cables) weighs a good 10lbs; it doest seem like a lot, but it is.

And It does fit in a standard case and bag.

Pros:
-Nice keyboard (need to get used to it)
-GPU works for gaming
-Blu-ray (haven't realy used it, but it's cool for bragging)
-Good support from sony (they replaced the HDD twice already; my fault, not theirs)
-Fancy LEDs
-Solid build quality

Cons:
-Heavy
-GPU was opitmized for entertainment, not gaming
-Can run a little hot
-Stupid thing drains battery slowly when off (see notes below)
-Battery life is meh (Mine is fully upgraded, so it would have less battery life compared to a less powerful one)
-Sony VAIOs don't like to be handled roughly (it's a company thing)
-Bloatware is a bitch


**The computer uses some power to monitor the power button (5%/day). Can be stopped by taking the battery out just after turing it off

Sony Vaio VGN-FW455d

Specs:
-17" 16:9
-4Gb ram
-Dual Core 2.1GHz
-ATI Radeon 4650
-Blu-ray drive


Worth it?

Yes, yes it is, the damn thing is a bit over priced but the damn thing isnt going to be outdated for a couple years

(FYI Sony VAIOs dont like being handled roughly, let alone violent rage quits relating to TF2)

#280332 Quick Question About Maxshot Like Blasters

The lever in the wrong spot, the lip of the priming lever pulls on the wheel to pull the plunger back



#279541 Battle Max Markerball Sceptor V1.0

Posted by k9turrent on 05 July 2010 - 11:22 AM in Modifications

To Futher explain the Trigger system,

Imagine a Semi-auto revolver:

1. Pull the trigger back causes the hammer to be pulled back

2. Pulling the trigger past a certain point causes the hammer to be released

3. The Hammer slams into the back of the cartridge.



It's the exact same method except the cartrige is actually a vavle


The following link is to a Paintball design website in which they describe the many variations of the hammer valve:

There's your problem



#277744 Homemade At2k Tank

Posted by k9turrent on 14 June 2010 - 05:51 PM in Homemades

Real 2k tanks don't have one, so why should this? You would just not plug whatever pump you are using.

I think that This tank is a lot sturdier than the real thing, meaning that higher pressures could be made and may make it non-war legal.


And This is why it was recommend to not plug the pump to ensure that safe pressures are used, and I actually recommend in using a pressure gage to also improve consistences.
