managed to grab two Rival Kronos Phantom Corps from Jusco Queensbay Mall today. No discount though.
Thanks again for the heads-up!

Hello to all blaster sifu!

I am looking at starting a project by making and selling a small batch of 3D printed Nerf Blasters called Caliburn. Its basically a pump action mag-fed Nerf blaster made using a 3D printer.

You can check the link below or search for videos of it in action.

I just want to get your opinion on whether I should start a project like this and see if any of you sifus are interested in buying into it. If the response is good, I may look into making a dozen sets of these blasters.

Also, are there any blaster communities that are interested in modding or custom building their own nerf blasters?

Any comments are welcome.

if it doesn't cost an arm and a kidney, i'm sure there will be supporters. also, put in some 3d printed n-strike attachments. worker's stuff are expensive, if you can put in a reasonable price, i'm interested in stocks and muzzle attachments.

Interesting.

I too done some printing for my own nerf blaster (and for couple of friends). Unless the parts is not sold/made by workers etc, it makes no point of printing them as the cost/time factor is high. Except for specific parts, or just for fun.

For caliburn, although its interesting, I think most nerfers would prefer real nerf blaster (although modded)....don't know why...haha

PM me and we can discuss about 3D printing for nerf. Cheers

The best is to combine both, 3D printed + Worker. Now I'm working on barrel extension for Retaliator. 3D print the attachment parts, muzzle and sights, but use worker barrel tube. Much cleaner than using 3D printed barrel tube.

3D printing can be expensive depending on the scale of the object and complexity of the part. Though I doubt it would cost anywhere near a kidney or even plastic surgery . If you have a budget of around RM 10 to RM 300, then you are good to go with 3D printing custom attachments from GoPro mounts (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1070858) to custom buttstocks (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1709302).


Yeah, I normally don't 3D print stuff that existed in the market because it would be way more expensive than getting it off the shelf.

Exactly what I wanted to know about nerfers and modding. I found that the Caliburn is a well received 3D printed blaster with several reviews but I don't know how the local community would take it . Currently it is priced at around RM 900 including shipping for an assembled set but I think importing it here may flag the local customs authority.

Hence, why I am proposing this project and taking into account of the interest/criticism from the local nerfer community.

Although some nerfers spends a lot on modding, they do it in stages. I don't think many would straight pay 900++..haha

Furthermore, the appeal of using modded original nerf blaster is much more than using a purpose build blaster.

Glad to hear nerfers are wiling to "spend" on modding

If that is the case, I will have to look into modding existing nerf blasters using 3D printing and design. If you need a 3D designer, I could look into making a few attachment designs that is not available on the market. Right now I can't think of what to make since hasbro covered most of the attachments for their line of blasters .

One cool thing I will definitely build is the FDL-2+ (http://www.projectfdl.com/fdl-2plus), I will probably use this as a display item at my office .

Made this today

Nice mods.3D printed grip (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2465421), tactical rails, iron sight, and muzzle (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2362076). The worker barrel is clamped down by a 3D printed collar. Probably some internal mods as well.

You did the remixes yourself?

Yeah. I made all the remixes... Not perfect, but good enough for me. I only used netfab and makerware to mix/cut/resize.

The collar/adapter I just completed. Need to use some insulation tape to connect the original barrel to worker ones, and to make it fit tightly.

Internal mod just some 6.5kg spring i bought from shopee for rm7.

Welcoming Rival to the family

[REVIEW] Nerf Modulus Mediator Attachments | Barrel & Stock!

while i'm not into the mediator itself, that stock is pretty awesome. probably the best nerf has ever made in terms of ergonomics and functions. can't wait for it.

Agreed. If the stock is around the other current attachment price 70++, it is a better 'nerf branded' stock to buy compared to the overpriced rsider stocks. Haha.

Honest Review: Nerf Elite SurgeFire (Pump Action Primary)

Imo this is designed to be either ZS line or Doomsland. Looks weird as an elite.

Ya... can't attach any stock is so weird at elite line.

yup, raider stock has been on the top of the list for far too long. time to go down a notch.

Removing Kronos AR is easy and reversible. Kinda like it is designed to be taken out. Haha
