#350636 3d printed rivals flywheels help
Posted by Kilomona on 09 January 2016 - 10:50 PM in Modifications
That's good knowledge for further development. The blaster I'm designing is meant to be like a stryfe sized Zeus with Apollo style magazine placement. I've been trying to reduce the flywheel size but I might end up needing the 360 sized motors. However with the increased ball compression, I guess the flywheels will be closer together. This has turned out to be a difficult project.
I think you could use the dart pusher from a rapidstrike to feed the HIRs (after you figure out the flywheel problem). I think it would fit sideways in a stryfe size shell behind the clip/magazine near where the dart pusher assembly is on a stryfe. Also, Ireally like your idea.
#350677 Good Glue Gun for Modifications
Posted by Kilomona on 11 January 2016 - 02:14 PM in Modifications
A hot glue gun should be enough for your intended application, as long as the switch is not being toggled or pressed in a way that places a large amount of stress on the bond.Thank you guys for the replies and the information. Based on what I have read, I get the impression that a glue gun might not be the best tool for modifications. Maybe I am wrong here?
My desire is to be able to install a high current switch in a space that might not have enough stock plastic support. I saw a video in which a hot glue gun was used. If the hot glue gun is not the best tool/application, which method would you guys recommend?
Edit: a hot glue gun is useful to have in general for modification and nerfing purposes as a primary bonding agent and as general use.

And since it came up, do you seal them the same (enamels and acrylics)?
Yes, enamels and acrylics are sealed the same way (assuming by seal you mean lacquer/clear coat). I find acrylics at walmart for 50 cents- 2 dollars for a little bottle, and they go a long way. Apple barrel and folk art are the brands I have used, and folk art gave me better results. Just thought I'd also say that I use rustoleum 2x matte clear coat.

This is true, but they still go onto and off of other blasters.There's a new blaster that doesn't have the small indent for the little ball/detent thing. I think it's the recon mk. 2?
#350972 Post your Stock/Superstock Loadout
Posted by Kilomona on 20 January 2016 - 06:42 PM in General Nerf
Indoor Stock( no mods): primary: stryfe. Secondary: firestrike. Final plan: triad.
Outdoor Stock: Dual hammershots, secondary strongarm. Maybe a triad/jolt.
Both of the loadouts that use dual hammershots usually are weaker against flywheel blasters in close quarters. I usually have them on paracord slings i make the day before the war. These loadouts are tested in small wars of 5-10 people-not much of a community in my area- and i have used the indoor loadout the most, with the superstock wars being less common due to other people not owning modified blasters.
P.S. Running 5 modified jolts sounds like a bad idea but..... It is a VERY bad idea. If you are trying to PwN everyone else. What it is though, is satisfying when you "kill" 3 people in under 30 seconds.

#351501 I need help for a certain modification!
Posted by Kilomona on 14 February 2016 - 12:38 PM in Modifications
I can't think of any similarly shaped blasters for a body, but depending on whether you want it functional or not you could use the thumbhole stock area of a thunderblast stock or rayven as the body then add a top piece from a firestrike to finish it, then paint it.

#351526 I need help for a certain modification!
Posted by Kilomona on 15 February 2016 - 12:57 PM in Modifications
That actually sounds perfect. Replacing the nitefinder handle with a mav handle could also help, and the entire design could be resemble the performance of a nitefider with homemade internals as the pvc could be used as a plunger.The front reminds me of a minimized nitefinder. Attach a swarm fire stock and use a piece of PVC covering the priming rod and with an end cap to mimic the slide.
#351648 My koosh vortex rings
Posted by Kilomona on 20 February 2016 - 12:40 PM in Darts and Barrels
Recently, I thrifted a koosh vortex tornado missing it's sight but with it's original rings for 50 cents. I had 4 rings, but I wanted more(as always) so I made some. Disclaimer: no, this is not my original idea. Someone in the thread on making these from tape suggested using promo bands. This idea was not explored, however, until I did.
Here is a pic of what the rings will look like when you finish.
Picture at bottom
Pretty, right? No? Well, they work.
The materials you will need are as follows: Scissors, a measuring tool, rubber bracelets, scotch tape, and a heating tool(heat gun, lighter, stove, hot glue gun tip, etc.).
Pic at bottom
The first step is to cut one horizontally. Nothing too complicated here, just a simple, straight cut will do.
Then, measure and cut the band to ~5.7 inches, or 14 cm. Again, just a simple cut.
The third step is to cut a piece of tape approximately 3 inches, depending on the thickness of your bands. Wrap this around the two ends until you have 3 layers of scotch tape, and make sure it is firmly wrapped so it will stay in place while you heat it. You could stop here, if you want fragile and easily destroyed rings, but you shouldn't.
Finally, use the heating tool on the tape to get it to shrink into itself and really bond the ends together, greatly increasing the durability of your rings. This might take some practice, as the tape likes to shrink very fast.
That's my writeup on my homemade koosh vortex rings for ya. Hope my first topic was a good one.
#351650 My koosh vortex rings
Posted by Kilomona on 20 February 2016 - 03:52 PM in Darts and Barrels
Forgot to mention that in the topic (: . They perform almost identically, but a couple of my homemade rings consistenly go off course. I think that is due to bad tape application. They do hurt a little bit more, as they are slightly heavier amd reach completely identical ranges( no exaggeration, I just went outside to make sure and they all landed within 5 feet of each other). To answer your second question, producing these on a very large scale could become "expensive". Ordering 100 blank, hot pink, 1/2 inch, silicone wristbands costs 73.99 minimum before shipping(but you get an extra 100). 73 cents per ring isn't super bad, especially compared to genuine rings, but they come out to ~80 cents each after time and tape. Not bad, but not great. On a small scale however, you can easily keep all the bands you will inevitably get at events makes this almost free when you are just making a few.Amazing. How do they perform vs. the OG rings and how cheaply do you think these could be made?
#351657 My koosh vortex rings
Posted by Kilomona on 20 February 2016 - 10:47 PM in Darts and Barrels
Yes, I said that both in the topic post and my reply to 2ndbluesbro. They are essentially the same in terms of performance.Do you have any spinfire rings to compare the ranges? Real spinfire rings are airfoils and taper at the back end. They are also made up of two different durometers of silicone, one for the front portion and one for the body of the ring. This gives the rings rigidity and stability in flight, as well as a softer material to take the impact of whatever you fire it at.
#351669 Rapidstrike battery upgrade questions
Posted by Kilomona on 21 February 2016 - 09:31 PM in Modifications
2. Completely depends on motors and power delivery. Kinda rare though.
3. You probably will have to rewire it to get any useful amount of performance gain. A 3s lipo likes 18 gauge wire. Some shell work to house the battery will probably be required.

#351825 Extremely Cheap "Homdox" Darts
Posted by Kilomona on 26 February 2016 - 10:34 PM in Darts and Barrels
Right. Problem is, if they don't have a hole anywhere then they cannot compress, causing-yup, you guessed it- pain.That perfect for my cousins who don't call their hits. Edit, also, if the hole is not there, it would be more accurate, right.

I don't exactly know how the member system works, but it did the same for me. I think a good post like this qualifies you as a member in my eyes. But yeah, I do thing the front bit could be cut off.great write-up. Something i would like to try is cutting off the front part in front of the dart holder to kind of even out the proportions. Thanks for the write-up. PS how are you in members if you have only 4 posts?

#352506 Can I use E-600 instead of Goop, for securing Petg in 1/2"PVC
Posted by Kilomona on 29 March 2016 - 03:57 PM in Darts and Barrels
Minimum of 24 hours, possibly up to 72 hours (google is a friendly guy).Thank guys!
I will probably end up using e-6000 then, um, one question though, how fast does e-6000 cure? (When nesting PETG)
