What are you planning on using to run this beast?
Do you use separate Lipos (or whatever you are using) to run the flywheels, pusher mech and all the electronics?
Really excited to see what this turns into!

I believe he is planning on selling kits.
I followed the tutorial though and it didn't take to long. It was fairly simple and well explained.

I'm pretty new to modding and I just finished modding a styrfe.
I used these motors off normal alkaline batteries https://www.pololu.com/product/611.
i used 18 gauge wire from radio shack and followed a basic tutorial on youtube.
It shoots pretty fast and hard (did not chrono it) and it was really simple to do as my first mod.

What is the best program for creating nerf parts through 3D printers?
I've looked at several but I cannot figure out which would be the cheapest/ still able to make reliable homemade parts for nerf.
or
Is there anywhere that I can pick up premade stl files that I can just use in a 3D printer?

I'll be honest here though: I'm a little terrified for you if you need to ask these questions about 3d printing and somehow also have access to a printer. The things are finicky beasts at best, unless there is someone around you who can use google and then parse the results into actionable processes, you'll wind up with a hot plastic nest and a busted $hundreds-thousands machine. They aren't like regular printers where you can just send a page over and it'll work every time and then warn you if it's out of ink/paper.
Not going to lie. I laughed pretty hard at this. I recently discovered that i have access to this machine. I only have access to it for about three years so I decided to expand my horizons and try my hand at it. Thank you for the information and warning everybody! I am very much in the researching phase.

Its slightly different, but have you concidered stronger methods for creating nerf pieces? Like CNC or casting? They generally can be less versatile, but they can be alot stronger.
I have. I have researched some pressure casting as well. However this is easier and less costly than those options.

Did anything ever happen with this? I am from buffalo NY and I am looking to get into a nerf war community. Let me know if there is anything together!

I've been modding for a while now and this will be my first big mod. This is more of me asking for someone to check my math before I blow this thing up with a couple of questions tacked on.
I have two 180 Hellcats powered by a 2200mAh 3s 40C Lipo pack. It will be wired with 16 gauge wire and will use two 10a micro switches instead of stock ones.
1) I plan to run LEDs through this. Can I power them off the same Lipo or should I use a different source?
2) There will also be an Arduino in there to control various things such as an ammo counter, voltage meter, and anything else I can think of and actually complete. Same thing as the LEDs, Can wvweything be run off one power source?
3) I do not have a good charge to balance, discharge or basically take care of Lipos. I've done some research and i have a couple of different in mind but can anyone recommend a good one that I can use? Money isn't really an issue since I would rather buy a fancy charger then replace my house if it lights up. Fear the Lipo!
Thank you for taking the time to answer. Hopefully when this thing is done I will be able to throw up some pictures.
