Jiggy (& Old Dart Cutting Tools)

thingiverse

Update: V4 variant has been tested. The darts do not drop out and eject nicely since I tightened down the fit on this version. I will readjust it back to the original fit later for easier dart droppout. The rest of the design works as intended, though I may revise features intended to reduce material usage later if users have dart alignment issues. Thanks to Shadic for suggesting the blade guards at the ends. https://www.thingiverse.com/Shad_/about Update: Removed untested variants of v4. Removed spec and instructions on bottom due to potential printing/slicing issues, will fix later. Update: V4 uploaded. (V3 removed due to issues.) Includes small 5-dart variant for small printers. This is a set of tools and jigs for cutting down foam/nerf darts. V2 has just been uploaded and is partially tested. Jig spacing set to 36mm, can also still be used to cut SCS as a legacy feature. Print V2 without supports. Print the older v1 with supports touching buildplate. v1 comes in 1", 1.25", and 1.5". Different lengths for v2 can be easily done by editing the step file. The original toolset was built for SCS's, a legacy dart. Read more about SCS's here: http://nerfhaven.com/forums/topic/27314-scs-suction-cup-slug/ V2 jig should still be usable for building SCS's, but you may want to adjust the slot spacing for different dart lengths. That said, SCS darts are no longer recommended due to the superior weight characterstics, range, and comparable accuracy of Workers. Once printed, simply snap together to create the jig. The pods are used to help with various gluing work but aren't all that necessary.
