#357159 Where To Buy Modding Materials

Posted by Silly on 14 December 2016 - 10:49 PM in Modifications

So I decided to mod the Mega Magnus to make it look like the mandalorian pistol from starwars the clone wars series.I can't seem to paste a picture so your going to have to look it up. I'm looking to make the sides as flat as possible as the lower side's on the Mega Magnus are quite bumpy and full of ridges. Since sanding it would take of all of the exterior plastic, what ways would you guys recommend to fill the gaps?


Epoxy putty or Bondo are what is usually used for smooth/seamless nerf body work. But if your cheap, use hot glue to fill in the space then make panels out of plastic and smack them on, then sand to desired shape. Personally I would use epoxy putty.

Thoughts?


I would love to see these in printed form.
What material do you suggest this is printed in?

Partslist

Spoiler
My next batch of 3D-printed parts should show up this afternoon.

Thank you very much!

Posted by Silly on 21 March 2017 - 09:58 AM in Homemades

Damn those are pretty. Do you plan to do more parts printed, or is this it for printed bits?



#359736 Caliburn: Mag-fed Pump-action Springer

Posted by Silly on 07 May 2017 - 02:38 PM in Homemades

So 2 questions:
1:How many molds can you spin at a time?
2:What machine is used to spin the mold? Something similar to a lathe or a drill press?



#358441 Caliburn: Mag-fed Pump-action Springer

Posted by Silly on 07 March 2017 - 07:17 AM in Homemades

I think this has been asked before, but is the PVC with the holes (attached to the plunger head) needed?



#360463 Caliburn: Mag-fed Pump-action Springer

Posted by Silly on 09 June 2017 - 12:47 PM in Homemades

Glad to see that your goal of machined, printed, and cast options being possible has been completed. Is this it for the project, or should we expect to see even more progress?

Also, quick question, how long is the prime on this beast? I want to compare it to my current project.



#356509 Caliburn: Mag-fed Pump-action Springer

Posted by Silly on 31 October 2016 - 08:12 AM in Homemades

So this can feed/use stock elites right? Also, can it work with, say, banana clips from worker?



#356466 Caliburn: Mag-fed Pump-action Springer

Posted by Silly on 28 October 2016 - 03:53 PM in Homemades

Man is that a beauty. Dang. 

Anyway, would the design accept other materials for the handle? Like wood, clear polycarb, or even maybe *ooh shiny* aluminium? 

Also, would you recommend using that Y you are currently as a pumpgrip for other homemades?




#356531 Caliburn: Mag-fed Pump-action Springer

Posted by Silly on 01 November 2016 - 09:59 AM in Homemades

Could this design be "expanded" to work with mega darts maybe?
Also, how is the pump attached?



#359429 Caliburn: Mag-fed Pump-action Springer

Posted by Silly on 25 April 2017 - 07:42 AM in Homemades

This project is awesome, but i cant open the xls file for the parts list. I also tried to use a YouTube tutorial to no avail. By any chance can you just copy and paste the list here please?



#360106 Caliburn: Mag-fed Pump-action Springer

Posted by Silly on 25 May 2017 - 03:09 PM in Homemades

Do you plan to make any specially colored caliburns? Also, how do you think people will/should customize their caliburns?



#359516 Caliburn: Mag-fed Pump-action Springer

Posted by Silly on 27 April 2017 - 07:23 PM in Homemades

I've never printed before, what kind of filament do you recommend?



#358096 Koosh Vortex Tornado Scans (Now a shell replica concept thread)

Posted by Silly on 20 February 2017 - 08:48 PM in Homemades

 

 

http://www.carbon3d.com/

 

Could these (if someone bought one *unlikely* or found someone with one or otherwise got access to one) be easier/better/stronger/easier then all the other options listed here? 

 

As far as i can tell its better then:

 

3d Printing

Casting

molding (purely because price)

carving/whatever it is (CapSlug's Posts)

 

 

Please tell me what you think!




#356972 Koosh Vortex Tornado Scans (Now a shell replica concept thread)

Posted by Silly on 01 December 2016 - 01:38 PM in Homemades

I know this is now a pretty dead topic, but recently i came into ownership of a kenner crossbow and some resin casting books. I was wondering if anyone here knows a cost effective silicone mold making material? I watch peter brown, who does castings alot, but i cant find any silicone that is cheap enough to use while keeping a detailed large cast.



#356975 Koosh Vortex Tornado Scans (Now a shell replica concept thread)

Posted by Silly on 01 December 2016 - 06:34 PM in Homemades

I don't think any kind of resin casting is a cheap process. It's got a lower entry threshold than an injection mold, but you're still talking $hundreds. Dig through herefor some good tips as well.


Right now I'm just looking for silicone to make the mold. Then comes the resin/epoxy.



#356977 Koosh Vortex Tornado Scans (Now a shell replica concept thread)

Posted by Silly on 01 December 2016 - 08:03 PM in Homemades

I am not capable of doing that kinda stuff because I'm only 13. Parents would scream that I'm gonna burn down the house.



#358174 Koosh Vortex Tornado Scans (Now a shell replica concept thread)

Posted by Silly on 23 February 2017 - 05:33 PM in Homemades


I didn't realize that the tubing that connects the plunger tube to the arrow post has a spring inside of it that keeps the tubing from collapsing at bends. I haven't had an entirely stock one of these in my hands since the mid-90s.

If you want, i can post some pictures of a mostly stock crossbow i have. just missing catch, spring, plunger rod, catch spring, and bow arms. 




#356983 Koosh Vortex Tornado Scans (Now a shell replica concept thread)

Posted by Silly on 02 December 2016 - 08:13 AM in Homemades

Well currently my plan is to take a shell, fill all holes, make the casting, then carve out the necessary space. I have made small castings using epoxy already, and I have a makerspace near me if I decide I need help.



#359065 THIS one simple design will have you in TEARS...

Posted by Silly on 06 April 2017 - 01:20 PM in Homemades

I feel really stupid, but this DOES shoot stefans as the ammo, right?



#359854 High Cap Magazine Collective Brain-Spew

Posted by Silly on 12 May 2017 - 10:00 AM in Homemades

What about a mag shaped like a U, with a drum style pusher mech so it can go around the curve?

You could take flat plastic sheets, make the 2 stick pieces of the U, then bend some more sheet or 3d print a addapter for the curve.

Or you could take 2 18 mags and chop off the bottom of one, slap on a printed adapter for the curve, then chop off the top of the other mag and put that side into the other end of the curve adapter.



#359925 High Cap Magazine Collective Brain-Spew

Posted by Silly on 15 May 2017 - 01:24 PM in Homemades

Must be a pain to load though right? I think the flexy pipe can be a option, but we should try to stick to more conventional clips and similar. Good job though!



#359860 High Cap Magazine Collective Brain-Spew

Posted by Silly on 12 May 2017 - 12:11 PM in Homemades

If i had spare mags, i would definitely try to make one, but i have only a few ones right now that i cant afford to slaughter in the name of progress.



#359875 High Cap Magazine Collective Brain-Spew

Posted by Silly on 12 May 2017 - 08:15 PM in Homemades

Oh, also: How it's Made (the show, watch on YouTube) has some fascinating machinery and production lines that probably have parts that would apply to this project. One I saw was a conveyer that moved cans and appeared to consist of simply 6 metal rods - one for each end and two for each of the sides. That'd be easier to build into whatever shape needed and probably lower friction than machining solid materials to shape.

Small problem: those use electric motors, chains, sh!t loads of power (over time), and are heavier then...well...something really heavy.




#359862 High Cap Magazine Collective Brain-Spew

Posted by Silly on 12 May 2017 - 12:51 PM in Homemades

Houses are good. I think i may be able to use the springs from a broken 18 mag and a broken 12 mag i have, so this idea may be tested soon after all!



#358370 1995 Crossbow CAD Files

Posted by Silly on 04 March 2017 - 02:10 PM in Homemades

I wonder if shapeways could print one of these in aluminum. Reason: ooh shiny.



#358289 1995 Crossbow CAD Files

Posted by Silly on 28 February 2017 - 03:39 PM in Homemades

This is a genius design! I have mine printing right now!

Can you post pictures here when it is finished printing?

Posted by Silly on 02 March 2017 - 01:00 PM in Homemades

Full [k26] version with stock extended by 1.500 inches. Also requires a separate nose piece to hold the end of the plunger tube which had to move 2.500 inches forward beyond the profile of the original shell.

For a while now ive been working on a stock and front crossbow expander kit, but this just bypasses it.
Good job!

Posted by Silly on 22 May 2017 - 10:04 AM in Nerf Wars

Are shotgunned titans allowed, like if they shoot many darts at once? If it is allowed, what is the minimum amount of darts it must shoot at once.

Posted by Silly on 15 May 2017 - 07:54 AM in Nerf Wars

Looking at my travel shit for summer break, i may actually be able to convince mah family to let me go, but we will see.

Edit: Is there restrictions on xbz or do those fall under the 4B/UMB/Similar section.

Could you put some kind of air pump in there and put an AT2k somewhere?

 

USER WAS GENTLY CHASTISED FOR THIS POST

THIS IS DUMB, BUT AT LEAST IT'S NOT WILLFULLY DISOBEDIENT.

Make a sound button connected to a speaker and an AUX cord so it can run music off your phone when you want.



#360086 2017 Modification/Homemade Contest

Posted by Silly on 24 May 2017 - 09:42 AM in General Nerf

Can we upload as many entries in each category as we want, or is there a limit?



#360100 2017 Modification/Homemade Contest

Posted by Silly on 25 May 2017 - 06:06 AM in General Nerf

I plan to post at least 3, maybe up to 7 entries of high quality.

I'm still working on my secret project I plan to enter.



#356510 Stacy: Mag Fed Pistol F.A.R. - First Homemade, Advice Appreciated

Posted by Silly on 31 October 2016 - 08:17 AM in Homemades

So can we have some pictures of a prototype/finished product, or have you not made a working physical design yet?
Also, could a stock be attached from the bottom and top of the handle?



#356461 Stacy: Mag Fed Pistol F.A.R. - First Homemade, Advice Appreciated

Posted by Silly on 28 October 2016 - 12:04 PM in Homemades

Question for tulip: would/does the current iteration of the design work with 16,25,and 35 dart drums?



#359009 Has Anyone tried a hyperfire/Stampede integration?

Posted by Silly on 03 April 2017 - 07:17 PM in Modifications

Ive been thinking about this for quite some time, but i dont have the stampede to make it.
