This is a great idea, and well executed.

I would encourage everyone looking into 3D printers to check out RepRap, a project that makes DIY printers that cost much less (as low as $350), and even print out many of the parts to make themselves. I might make one, and if I do will sell printed Rainbow catches and handles.

Hey everyone, sorry this took forever, but the parts and BOM are finally posted.

Excellent, I'll send that link to my friend. We'll see what he can cook up.

Wow, this is actually very interesting! But what about those (like myself) that lack a 3d printer? Would you sell them (pre built or as kits) to those who would be willing to purchase them? Think about it, custom colored versions could cost extra provided that you had the colors, and the buyer would still have the satisfaction to build his own blaster provided that he/she bought the kit. And another simpler question, how much power do you think it could handle? Spring wise that is.

Crossbow shells?!

That is what the nerf community needs.

You really didn't need to resurrect a thread from March (which itself was a necro) to say that. Please watch the last post date.
