#341686 NENO9: JAXANDPHILFEST Recap

Posted by kbk652 on 02 September 2014 - 02:56 PM in Nerf Wars

How the raffle works is that you put an item in and everyone that does gets a number and is then drawn. First gets their choice of anything in the pile and keeps going until there is nothing left.

This is my homemade version of the maximizer, It works very similarly to the lanard maxshot, the internals are aluminum and the red is plastic coverings. It has a little under 6.5" of draw on a 2"od plunger tube.

#337177 Plusbow prototype

Posted by kbk652 on 20 February 2014 - 09:34 PM in Homemades

To be honest with you. I think you would be better off if you took some time to build a few and revise and perfect your design before you try to start selling them off to people. The reason roboman has been able to get so much attention is because he has the reputation of making some amazing things. Just because you have the tools doesn't mean you can pull off crazy designs. I would start by proving that you can make some quality things with those big expensive machines that you have access to. Just some friendly advise before you get stuck with 20 people bugging you about commissions and out 125$.

EDIT Also, 9000 people aren't a fan of your design and 9001 people think polls are dumb. :P

In a few weeks me and my friend are going to go into the shop and make a few different ones. This was designed as to see what people thought I have already been changing around the design. I would make a different one with a finished product way before I sold any.



#337079 Plusbow prototype

Posted by kbk652 on 16 February 2014 - 01:06 AM in Homemades

Do you have any printed?



#337076 Plusbow prototype

Posted by kbk652 on 16 February 2014 - 12:54 AM in Homemades

Still rocking just my dremel and drill so a bridgeport would be amazing but good luck moving that thing. Do you happen to have a 3d model of the grip for your plusbows?



#337074 Plusbow prototype

Posted by kbk652 on 15 February 2014 - 11:42 PM in Homemades

Lucky you with that bridge port, I was able to quote 6061 for the sides at like 10 plus shipping I didn't get the shipping costs because it was mcmaster. How good is Onlinemetals? like with shipping and custom cuts?

Like I said I haven't built one yet so if people were interested in it now I would quote at that price not knowing how long I would be in the shop for. after building some I might change the cost depending on how much time and work actually goes into one. On the design part I really just wanted to try something different I don't want to copy someone else's hard work and sell it.

So the price 125 will be for now and once I make them I may have to raise the price.

What aluminum were you using? Also the machine is a haas sminimill, and the S-10 lathe, I believe we have the TM-1 in the other shop.



#337070 Plusbow prototype

Posted by kbk652 on 15 February 2014 - 10:40 PM in Homemades

I dont remember the exact model numbers but hass mills and lathes most of my material is coming through Mcmaster, once I have made one, and wrote all the code I think it will be about 6 to 8 hours per blaster. But way before I start selling I was going to make atleast two to see how long it takes, if i need changes, all of that, which is why I want to get some handles made to see if i should change them before I make them out of plastic.



#337067 Plusbow prototype

Posted by kbk652 on 15 February 2014 - 10:19 PM in Homemades

The original one priced to be about 125 plus shipping, great part about my school is that anyone who has passed training on the machines can machine



#337065 Plusbow prototype

I made so quick changes based on some feedback, just a quick model.
I added in a cheek rest that is adjustable with the back for however people want.
I added in round edges on the handle, I may go in with like detailing for like your fingers but havent gotten to it yet. I may change the red piece to make the grip feel better.
I made the front priming grip alittle bigger and more of a cup for your hand.
I feel like a good offering would be on the priming bars, I will engrave something, like a username, name stuff like that.

Let me know what you guys think of this?



#337048 Plusbow prototype

Posted by kbk652 on 14 February 2014 - 05:48 PM in Homemades

I do not have to pay to use the machine shop for my school.



#337033 Plusbow prototype

Posted by kbk652 on 14 February 2014 - 08:05 AM in Homemades

I see where you are coming from with the amount of cuts in the sides, I attach the plungertube in the back so some of the holes are needed.

The handle is not as square as shown it actually has quite a tapered edge, but this is the part I am trying to get printed so I can test out how it feels before I move to the real material.

The aluminum sides they are all made from 1/8" aluminum and I do not see any issues with the stresses coming but if someone wanted me to not drill the holes lol well that's simple enough.

I like the idea of something to rest on, I may change the back hole pattern to say like 1/8 holes so that whatever I use back there is adjustable for people and not just one huge piece of say plastic.

Thanks for the suggestions

EDIT: I made a quick model of a more uniform side plate.

Posted by kbk652 on 13 February 2014 - 11:41 PM in Homemades

I'm not a big fan of the handle, and with so many holes, it looks "too busy" in my opinion, and loses elegance.



Just curious of what part you are referring too? the handle the part where your hand goes only has the two holes are you referring to the priming sides or the holes in the back near the stock area?



#337022 Plusbow prototype

Posted by kbk652 on 13 February 2014 - 09:21 PM in Homemades

Hey guys I have been working on this for about a week now, and I want some feedback, and some suggestions and thoughts.
First I want to give thanks where it is due, roboman was awesome and gave me some models and it was a great starting point.

Specs
All the red is 1/8 inch aluminum and the black except the priming bars is a plastic
Has 7" of draw on a full [k26]
Uses a rainbow catch
A 1.5 OD plunger tube and 1.375 ID
Need to put some small detail works and the catch.

Before I start machining anything I am looking to print the handle if anyone can help me out let me know the dimensions are 1.25" X 3" X 12"

If you are interested in one PM me and I will gladly work something out with you

#336875 GRID CODE MARCH 2ND 2014

Posted by kbk652 on 05 February 2014 - 04:19 PM in Nerf Wars

If its on the 22nd me and my girlfriend will go. But other than that we cant go because of school and such. Just let me know when you guys want to have it.



#336841 What's a good replacement?

Posted by kbk652 on 03 February 2014 - 06:00 PM in Modifications

If you're willing to shell out a bit of money you could always try to contract roboman for an aluminum 5k tank. I thought I saw one of his posts about them a while back, but I'm not really sure.

I contacted him and I dont mind paying the money its just he said it would take quite some time like up to a month.



#336838 What's a good replacement?

Posted by kbk652 on 03 February 2014 - 04:14 PM in Modifications

The issues were the front part of the tank and the pull shaft is not returning



#336832 What's a good replacement?

Posted by kbk652 on 03 February 2014 - 02:51 PM in Modifications

I got a supermaxx 5000, which is cool, but once I opened it up I saw that the tank was shot couldn't hold air.

So my question is what is a good replacement tank?
Like fits well, all that, would it be best for me to buy another sm 5k tank or use something different? If you have a sm5k tank that your willing to part with pm me

Kevin

#331125 Stampede Problems

Posted by kbk652 on 21 June 2013 - 08:39 PM in Modifications

stock spring and a rampage stock spring, it shot fine with 9 volts but once I added the trustfires it didnt work, I will post pics in 10 mins.



#331123 Stampede Problems

Posted by kbk652 on 21 June 2013 - 08:10 PM in Modifications

Hello I recently modified a stampede to a smg style stampede, I then ran it off of four trustfires, and I am having a issue of the dart clearing the barrel. The dart will get stuck in the dart tooth and will not clear. So I tried just loading a dart and I still have the problem. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks
Kevin
