Modular blow dart gun

thingiverse

I designed a blow dart gun that is about 3.3 feet long and is modular. The design consists of 4 parts that all screw together to create a working blow dart gun. I have gotten the darts to shoot out up to 60 mph. And I will further improve and add modules like a snap on scope, or a snap on clip to hold the darts. I added triangles to the bases so that when the taller pieces are printed they have more support. Also towards the top and final layers of the threading, the object can start to wobble causing there to be like 0.25 inches of messed up threading. Just cute that part off and sand the inside and you should be fine. Inside the blow dart gun when it is being printed there can be some oozing so make sure to sand the inside to have as little imperfections as possible for less friction. I will include the link to the darts I bought. The darts do not fit inside if the print shrinks so I recommend to cut a little bit off the end of the dart. https://www.amazon.com/Cold-Steel-Razor-Hunting-Weapon/dp/B001I173A0/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1514581358&sr=1-2&keywords=625+blowgun+darts And do not over tighten the threads or they can snap
