Low Hardware Talon Claw U but Longer (LHTCUBL) - Tranche 1

thingiverse

Additional Upgrades to LHTCUBL targeting more airflow, compatibility with standard 5/8" or 16mm barrels with some additional quality of life improvements. With these upgrades and a spring approximately K14-weight, my version of the LHTCUBL has averaged over 370 FPS and landed on the Atean Armory FPS Leaderboard (a/o 10/8; number 22 highest FPS springer; see photos). Current hardware kit for LHTCUBL; (2) 016 O-rings, (3) 123 O-rings, (2) elastic hair bands or (3) rubber bands, Slug Plunger Tube material (1.5" OD, 1.375" ID Polycarb. Can be substituted if you like) (1) Caliburn-length spring (10-11", no more than 3.5" solid height. Standard options include K31, 788, K25 and K26 springs) (1) Standard 5/8" or 16mm barrel of your choice. Minimum length of 12", but 18-24" recommended My base files included in the LHTCUBL files (linked below under remixed). Here's an overview of the updates made in Tranche 1: 3d Printed barrel no longer needed. Designs are compatible with standard 16mm or 5/8" barrels. Magfront - Redesigned for standard nerf elite barrels. Uses (2) 016 O-Rings. One seals the ramcore, one seals around the barrel. Added 3d printed screw to retain the barrel in place. Magback - Enlarged hole for large ramcore to pass through (this can lead to some rough prints, but should function without issue). Slight increase in space for mag catches to support longer Krelease (needed for Dart Zone mag compatibility with the larger ram) Ramcore/Rambase - Enlarged ram to 5/8" (from stock 1/2"). The WIDTH remains the same as the original, but the height is increased. This maintains the Vanguard functionality (ability to put mags in without priming first), but increases air volume ~30% through the ramcore. Rambase updated to support larger ramcore. Talon and Katana mag releases - updated grooves for Elastic band to replace rubber bands. The Krelease has also been extended a few millimeters to hold Dart Zone magazines a little higher to the larger ram feeds properly. Seer - Added Material to the forward side of the seer. Strengthens the piece to remove flex at higher spring loads. Pull Grip - Added nubs (remixed from Slug's AFG files) and slightly lengthened. Gives grip/resting nubs while you're CLOSING the breech. Also; looks BA. Washers - Print 4! Add to each side of the trigger and seer (see photos). Removes some of the slop in the trigger/seer system and gives a much more solid feel. Additional encumbrance added beyond the base files. Mike_Mattala's NUT JOB customizer, releases 11/30/2013 under CC BY-SA 3.0.
