Nerf - Magazine connector/holder

thingiverse

Always asked myself how the tactical rails on certain Nerf guns can be made more usable. So I came up with the idea of a magazine holder/connector. It's an easy print. But with great effects. So, if you have kids playing with Nerf guns and having laying around some spare magazines. Some weapons do look awful when some additional magazines are attached. See the pics. The print is easy. Print two of these connectors. One is ready in 30-40 minutes. I dropped the idea of connecting them together. To make it easy printable you need to change the layer orientation. Or use support. But by changing the orientation you loose a lot of their strength. When they bend. And you need to bend the connectors a bit to get a magazine in or out. By design. On the other hand: How far shall the distance be? Sometimes more, sometimes less. There are three variations, one is better than others in different situations. See for yourself. A yes, before I forget. Maybe you need to make them a bit larger/smaller if the connectors are too tight or to loose. We do have several of Nerf guns and the same connector is to loose/tight on one but fits fine on another. Have fun.
