Rubber Band Gun Mods

thingiverse

I modified every part and added a few to make the rubber band gun by Gavilan work a little better for me. I added an axle for the trigger to ride on and bushings to stabilize the wheel and hold the rubber bands. I strengthened the wheel outcrops a bit because mine broke. I also made the wheel hole a little smaller so it wouldn't wobble so much when I used a #6 machine screw as an axle for it to ride on. Everything else is tweaked in one way or another (mainly chamfering the sharp edges) to either make it feel better in my hand or fine tune tolerances. I did notice after I made the axle and bushings that someone had already made something similar in remixes. These are my own design and I didn't try the others. Hardware required: 8 #6 1/2" wood screws with washers 1 #6 1 1/4" machine screw with washer and corresponding nylock nut. Prints nicely in PLA. Just make sure you make the wheel good and strong.
