Just a thought is it possible to convert a stampede or a volcan to shoot spring thunder shells

[@StuckOnAFireHydrant]

@@loganbryson9058 that would be a hard no for the stampede and spring thunder shells. 1) why would you want to? 2) you would need a mag to hold the shells along with a new breech design. This would mean a poor seal and less fps than the stampede already has. 3) an ejection system 4) the timing of it all the the stampede has pretty much 0 room for error in timing or you will shred your gears

[@Flygonial]

The Fusion link directly shows the latest working version I have, so yes, that foregrip is indeed in development. If downloaded, you could try out everything I'm in progress on / scrapped at your own risk, but I will get around to testing and refining foregrip options and push for a more official release. The feedback on some details like the tray door execution are also appreciated here, and I'd hope to think of ways to minimize any possible barrel alignment issues down the road (widening the bore, making it printable in different orientations, etc.). It's a bit ironic, as part of the intention of the cage design is to try to eliminate finicky alignment issues that often end up with modded wheelers. Hopefully with enough users and input, however, I can get some insight into what exactly ends up going wrong here. Again, thanks for giving my blaster a shot!

[@WalcomS7]

It's an awesome blaster, I'll keep working on mine. I will also give that grip a shot!

[@Flygonial]

@@WalcomS7 Aww thanks, do note that the grip design there at the moment needs a new magwell to fit, similar to the FDL-3 grips.

[@samdavidson6483]

Cool Blaster design man 😁🤟😁🤟😁

[@akumabito2008]

Your design looks awesome!

[@KiraSlith]

Considering the muzzle itself has standard spacing past the wheels, it might be that the cage isn't centered inside. Try printing the cage in a different orientation on the print bed and see what happens.

[@MisterBones69]

“I’ll probably still try to get one” (- WalcomS7, on the Hummingbird) Be careful what you wish for, my walrus friend 😉😉😂

[@mikesmail1130]

I am just putting one together myself and I think the drag is coming from the barrel not the muzzle. It not much room and unless its butter smooth its gonna drag. If we could get a piece of aluminum barrel to fit say like the upgrage hurricane one it might bring a big improvement

[@jaegercollects]

I got one of these as a Secret Santa gift and I absolutely love it. Mine has a 42.5mm cage, Inferno wheels and Fang RV motors.

[@TheStoneAxe23Animation]

part of me wishes it had a vertical grip on it, feel like it would fit the aesthetic.

[@kialmaynard5176]

I'm making a magazine in handle pistol out of Acrylic. Gonna take a lot of planning and sketches, cause I'm I do not have a 3-D printer. This blaster is beautiful and I am so happy to see after market blasters continue to have a positive innovation to the hobby.

[@draken882000]

Hey Walcom, there is a mod where you have a traditional battery housing if that tickles your fancy.

[@tsmcgu]

I had a lot of issues with cut-down adventure force darts in my 3D printed pistol and had a lot more success with Worker Gen3s. I'd give those a try to see if there's any performance difference.

[@benlam419]

I really Flygonial to remix the cage so that it would use dual stage Worker Hurricane wheels. Makes the blaster a bit thinner and can have an output of like 170-180fps.

[@WalcomS7]

This is an excellent idea, Valour said the same thing.

[@minibread8198]

I love the silver and grey color scheme.

[@turbocateyeS475]

"cut myself some darts" sounds like you're taking a big ol thicc dookie and I'm here for it.

[@failwheeldrive]

There could be a ton different issues causing the performance and accuracy problems. I've had extremely mixed results out of Daybreak flywheels in general, after building five or six Daybreak setups. They can have balance issues, offset motor mounting holes, etc. It could also be an issue with the cage or barrel, or a combination of all of the above. If you have another set of flywheels it would be worth swapping them out for testing purposes (I've had better luck with Eclipse wheels in Daybreak cages). If you do figure it out, I'd love to see a follow-up video.

[@thanhavictus]

I'm a big fan of esun filaments but was hesitant on their silks. Thanks for showing them off on camera, I'm definitely going to be picking up some.

[@WalcomS7]

They print pretty good, my print quality definitely is having some issues from a filament I tried to print just before this but I've printed a lot off in the Silk White and I love it.

[@projectfdl6831]

[@tomlin19]

You could go the Mr Nathan route and put magnets in the stock and pad

[@benrussell917]

I call shenanigans on cage orientation affecting accuracy. If vertical cage = upwards curve then just flipping it 90 degrees should = sideways curve. It's gotta be form factor, surely.

[@WalcomS7]

I think the idea is you have gravity pulling on the dart so it's most likely not contacting both darts evenly in a vertical cage but that isn't a factor in a horizontal.

[@colinwilliams6976]

I’m glad you made one these, they are super awesome. You definitely should be getting around 160 with a 40mm cage. Not sure what’s up there. Awesome build otherwise!

[@siliconesword1798]

Do you think you could coax foamblast, out of darts or worker to do a screw/internals kit???

[@WalcomS7]

I mean I picked up all the screws at Ace, the motors and wheels can be bought at pretty much any nerf shop, my spring was taken from random spring drawer. It's doable with a trip to ace and an order from Foamblast.

[@siliconesword1798]

@@WalcomS7 I just think it would be cool if someone did a commercially Available kit for this

[@npcmods4525]

It's your battery .... that spin up time says it all

[@joem1378]

Question. What motor and flywheel did you use. I am new to this and going to print it, but there are so many options. What size flywheel would you recommend for a first build? thanks.

[@erraddict]

Whoa, is that dart cutter 3D printed? May I get the STL for that, please? Also, what magazine is that? I don't have anything, starting fresh with printing my own blasters as well.

[@pizzavictory113]

Just like the weapons of war the weapons of Nerf community Evolve everyday

[@x-raybuffet3638]

Now we need a C96 Broomhandle to be made with these half darts. I don't know how you would make the flywheels fit though.

[@victormiller9907]

Did you think of using a few mini neodymium magnets to hold battery cover on?

[@StuckOnAFireHydrant]

If there's tracks on the stock to hold it in place I don't see why not

[@OutlawFarmersRC]

it needs a guide barrel. Its tailing the dart to one side.

[@arasin.staubly]

Rare earth magnets to hold on the back-plate of the battery stock?

[@Side85Winder]

i am not convinced that horizontal is the way to go. When you think about it not all motors are created equal so if say the left motor is spinning 50-100rpm less than the right then your darts will be thrown out not straight causing you to miss shots to the side. If the motors are horizontal then if you are aiming at say some ones head it might still hit them in the waist. I much prefer brushless motors, make a brushless blaster and hit 200fps its a bit more expensive and complicated but you are going to get a overall better blaster.

[@Flygonial]

I will say that in developing this blaster, the horizontal cage was strictly just to get the top rail as close to the barrel as possible. I agree with the logic you've put out for where a horizontal cage can go wrong (and I think it applies to stock blasters), but I personally don't think there are major accuracy differences because our current understanding of flywheel speed 'criticality': a certain flywheel geometry generally doesn't gain any more velocity past a range of RPMs, so we run DC motors a good bit faster than this RPM range so we can get consistent shots even as the motors slow down. Also do agree on brushless superiority: more reliable flywheel mounting, more reliable stall protection, control options, etc. I still designed the Gryphon as a more accessible platform, that said, I am thinking of developing brushless blasters down the line.

[@Side85Winder]

@@Flygonial brushed motors have their place in history of nerf modding, their simple wiring and ease of use which will all ways appeal to modders. The grass snake, lepus, and viper are amazing examples of fantastic compact designs. With brushless look into 1105 motors 5000-6400kv they can run a 4s. So you are looking at easy 200fps preformance they are a lot cheaper than some of the 2205 motors than the FDL and Ultrasonic. They are also very tiny like the 130 size dc brushed motor so will firlt just about anywhere.

[@Flygonial]

@@Side85Winder Ooo will look into those motors if I want to build some compact brushless builds. What I'm thinking of right now, however, is a bigger RIVAL or Vortex blaster as I start thinking of what I'll do.

[@jackrau8376]

What size compression springs and where did you get the compression springs?

[@DarthTater5738]

Old video I know but did you ever solve your issues? I have made 2 of these with bulldogs, m2's and 2s and im getting around 110fps which great. We use them in family friendly games.

[@brenbo_TM]

I wish these competitive blasters were more affordable

[@WalcomS7]

I mean this is really cheap if you have a printer. If you're into the hobby and you don't have one, you should get one; saves you a lot of money. Ender 3 during black friday will probably be less than $170. Really if I didn't buy all the screws from Ace and just used Home Depot (they didn't have all the, "right" sizes but I found out most sizes are close enough) I would have saved a lot. 18$ wheels, 15$ motors, some wire, a single switch, screws, and a battery connector on top of maybe 400g of filament.

[@jakedwight9893]

This thing straight outa space

[@NorybDrol82]

So by your logic instead of curving up or down it would curve left or right? I am confused.

[@WalcomS7]

Gravity is a thing, and I somehow doubt that both wheels touch the dart evenly in a vertical setup. I have no way to confirm this. It doesn't really matter much because the main benefit is that you aren't trying to aim with your barrel an inch from the top of the blaster, instead it's pretty much perfectly in line with it.

[@familyfriendlyneighborhood83]

I remember Battle Squad mentioned they lost fps due to warping, so that really might be the cause. Also can't wait for the duel stage version to come out!

[@Flygonial]

I realize now that the mention on the update log (on Thingiverse and GitHub) doesn't emphasize it much (I reread it just now and missed it the first time), but I actually released dual-stage cages exactly three months ago. It's not in an image on Thingiverse however so I'll be sure to update that.
