Nerf Explosive Tips - Party Snap Foam Dart Tips

thingiverse

For some added explosive fun during your next Nerf War, I've made a 3D printable replacement tip for foam darts that holds "party snaps" that explode on impact! The tips are made to leave about 1-2mm of the "party snap" exposed at the tip while holding the snap securely for active Nerf play. I've tested the darts up to 50 feet away from a smooth surface (garage door) and they still explode on impact. I've tested well over a hundred rounds and haven't had a single jam as the tip fits perfectly with the foam dart. Disclaimer: I ADVISE THAT YOU DO NOT SHOOT THESE AT PEOPLE OR ANIMALS I tested these with PLA, PETG, and TouchInk (a semi-flexible filament) and the best results were with PLA.
