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.  thumbsup.gif

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 sweat.gif. 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).

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

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 dry.gif . 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 brows.gif

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 sweat.gif.

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 biggrin.gif .

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? whistling.gif
