Custom Nerf Barrel Locking Ring

thingiverse

This is a part designed to interface with the Nerf barrel attachment feature on all compatible blasters. It can be used as a starting point for custom designed Nerf barrel attachments. My intent was to design all the interface complexity into this part so it would be very easy for anyone to create a custom Nerf barrel for their blaster. My hope is that people do this and share their designs. I included lots of flexible geometry so this part should work with all Nerf N-Strike barrel interfaces and most 3D printed barrel interfaces. I have already created one attachment as an example: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2910111 I have also included an ICD (interface control document) to detail this part and how it should mate into barrels designed for it. Hopefully this will help those wanting to make their own attachments! The interface is really simple. This part will fit into the back of any barrel attachment designed to use this part. It can be screwed in place with (4) Socket Head 2-56 screws that are 1/2" long (check True Value, McMaster-Carr, or Amazon). It can also be glued into place if you don't have the screws. There are several versions of this part: some with support pillars and some without. There is also a normal version and a 'stiff' version in case you want a tighter fit to the barrel attachment point. You need to print this part with support structures so I don't know why you wouldn't use the one with supports integrated into the STL file. There are lots of little features and dimensional accuracy is required so print slow if you have to and scale the file up or down by several percent if you have fitment issues. This is my first Nerf-related donation to the free 3D printing pool.
