New BoomCo Dart Plug

thingiverse

Derived from BoomTendo's dart stem concept for Mattel's revised BoomCo darts. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3223065 The current production darts have hollow heads, which can expand inside a friction fit barrel with sufficient air pressure. Plugging the hole restricts air from pressurizing the dart heads. Insert should measure 5.25mm in diameter after print. Adjust via scale in slicer software as necessary. Recommend using flex filament for easy fitment and installation. Revised darts weigh 1.35g on average compared to the 1.45g of the original BoomCo dart. Insert should raise the average weight to about 1.5g Initial tests have demonstrated stabilized flight patterns at 110-120fps. https://youtu.be/nPMM8BV7Pjk +3 version adds 3mm to the hollow shaft. Untested; feel free to be the test mule. Could throw off the weight balance, or could result in greater stability.
