How I 3D Printed a Nerf Gun

[@JacksWailerTV]

Cool project - a little idea, use 4 threaded rods and aluminum plates as a final lid (front/back end). please don't stop and keep going!!

[@AlbertShares]

Thank you! Will def consider that if I decide to make a pt 2 :)

[@brianmcdonald4333]

PRINT ORIENTATION !!. also get a Bamboo. nice work

[@AlbertShares]

Ahaha I opted to pray to the layer adhesion gods, since my bed is very uneven. I've since upgraded the ender 3 with ABL tho which fixes that issue. I actually picked up a bambu A1 after the recall, man It's like printing in easy mode now!

[@brianmcdonald4333]

love the rawness of your Video. topic on point 😁

[@filokolopa]

Very cool project, keep it up!

[@keremgencer5845]

I didnt realise you have so less subscribers until you said it. It is because the video is good. You deserve more. Keep making videos like this.

[@keremgencer5845]

And I can suggest you to capture your "first tests". The gun did broke twice and we couldnt see any of these. It is normal for these parts to broke but even that would have a video that you can watch later again and again to find out what went wrong. And i would want to see your expressions in every case (if it brokes or succeeds).

[@AlbertShares]

thanks for the feed back! will keep that in mind for next time!!

[@trevormallow2788]

I do multiple iterations as well. What material and temps did you use for your parts? It seems like you need to print a little hotter for better layer adhesion.

[@AlbertShares]

Pla at 210 degc. I later found out the rollers in the x axis needed to be tightened lol

[@ksp4u]

Really enjoyed the entire video bro. You got a subscriber. I am so curious about the part 2... I wanna start 3d printing to.should I go for ENDER 3 V3 SE? That fitts in my budget.

[@AlbertShares]

Glad you enjoyed it! No promises yet on pt 2, but more vids coming for sure! Havent really looked closely on that printer, but if the reviews are good, go for it!

[@KnexJunkie]

think main problem is you have no supportive rods true the 3D prints to bolt down for extra support (because blaster seems be stronger then the gun body can handle) stil intressting to see that it does kinda work but is not there yet.

[@AlbertShares]

Haha yeah that definitely would certainly helped

[@KnexJunkie]

@@AlbertShares i should probaly get into 3D print hobby if i get around to it so much intressting things to fool around with. but ive seen people put like treaded rod into there prints to link things up and bolt them down how ever you maybe wane do some material testing to. I hope next week i can find a new job money always a issue xd thats mainly been my problem for trying new stuf. Any tips for starting out with 3D printing anno 2024? it does grab my attention for future idea's but ive not realy been able to get any RL 3D print guides or anything. (Ender 3 seems be getting cheaper--- But compared to whats on the market the old Enders don't age well). P.s have you check out the resin printer in collour vid yet? very intressting process. to make minifigurines or ather things.

[@AlbertShares]

​@@KnexJunkie Good luck on the job search man! Id recommend the bambulabs a1, very fast and beginner friendly. Ender 3 is cool too, but I wouldnt reconmend that unless you're interested on learning the ins and outs of 3D printing. nope, Im totally ignorant when it comes to resin printing lol

[@KnexJunkie]

@@AlbertShares kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKfRfHttpK2ikNksi=eF0OUI4RU75KfLdW resin print one I talked about but it's more industrial machine then a home user. I don't think it fits hobbyist with tight budget . I did check about Bambu printers they have some user friendly versions. I would like to replicate some stuf eventually. Due of it getting harder to find I've got some things on the shelf people might want... But yeah future plans maybe. Also I visit a coffee repair store multibale times a lot of machines have a serten time of parts for them before there to old to fix or not worth it. The owner has saved some machines already with 3D printing. I enjoy drinking coffee there to much hehe. But yes I hope I can get a job again. Also maybe you should give the nerf gun you made a second try. It does proof it works. Until It Fall apart ;-) I'm gone sub on ya channel

[@AlbertShares]

@@KnexJunkie No way that printer's pretty sweet. ahaha being able the rapid prototype is a pretty sweet perk of 3d printers ngl. Thanks for the sub, nerf gun v2 may come eventually assuming I dont get sidetracked by other projects :)

[@radimtrs3156]

Good job. I know you love that learning curve, but there is big comunity around foam flinging blasters. Try look around and get some inspiration. Its awesome project and i Hope you will continue 👍🔧

[@AlbertShares]

Haha thanks, will definitely have to take a look!

[@tehkilr]

What is the name of software you use to draw and make your design at the start?

[@AlbertShares]

I used freecad :)

[@MBMJIFF7200]

Yo what 3d Printer do you have

[@AlbertShares]

I printed this on an ender 3

[@AbruptAbacot]

This is such a fun project! I've been wanting to make a nerf gun on my printer too! What plastic are you using? Also is the plastic properly dried? Dry plastic is wayyyy stronger.

[@AlbertShares]

Ahaha thanks! Yes should be dry, im using polymaker polylite pro / hatchbox matte pla. LMK how ur project goes, it was lots of fun!

[@ssnakeyboi]

I came here for info on my project stayed cus I got interested

[@AlbertShares]

Thank you man, that means a lot!

[@ssnakeyboi]

@@AlbertShares you’re welcome

[@szymonfordon7224]

Very good video, maybe you should learn better Cad program

[@AlbertShares]

Thank you! I just went with freecad cause it's free and my student license for SolidWorks ran out. I will probably try onshape and solidworks (for makers), at some point.

[@szymonfordon7224]

@@AlbertShares i use fusion360, probably the easiest cad program, in my country i only need to send shool id card every year

[@grn-xx]

i was just going to mention him using freecad. its really nice seeing another freecad user. i hope the appreciation for (free and) open source application grows since this is a big step towards consumer friendliness and independence from subscription based giants

[@JohnJaggerJack]

Do you need help bud?

[@AlbertShares]

thanks for the offer, I'm just enjoying the learning process xD

[@AidenFox02]

You’re doing a great job I enjoyed the video

[@AlbertShares]

glad you liked it :)

i am sry but it was more then 10 ppl watching
