3D Printing - Other Designs
Community and kit builds: storage, games, and a few Nerf-compatible blasters
More designs, including a few not shown here, are on my Printables profile.
Honeycomb Storage Wall
Printed a series of interlocking hexagonal panels to organize my room. My apartment has limited space for tools and projects, so I printed this modern pegboard to make use of previously untapped wall space. I designed some of the custom mounts myself; others came from printables.com.
StageTop Board Game Table
Spent nearly a month of printer time and almost 5 kg of filament on this modular gaming table, designed to sit on top of a coffee table and improve our board game setup. It disassembles into easily organized pieces and is printed in ABS for durability. Features include dice towers, rails to keep pieces on the table, component cups, and room to expand as needed.
Caliburn
Used both of my enclosed printers to print CaptainSlug’s 4th version of the Caliburn, a 3D-printed, spring-powered, Nerf-compatible blaster. It fires full-length or half-length darts and is rated at about 190 FPS with half darts. I bought a hardware kit and assembled the whole thing from the well-documented build instructions.
S.L.A.B.
Printed the S.L.A.B. (Sillybutts Lever Action Blaster) across both of my printers, with a purchased hardware kit. Assembly was intuitive, and this one fires half darts at around 130 FPS. The lever-action priming is satisfying, and I liked seeing how all the mechanical components interact in the firing mechanism.
RS187 Cagefighter
Printed this blaster on both printers, then bought a hardware kit. Documentation was noticeably worse than the other two builds, so wiring it took some figuring out. I soldered the whole project, accidentally blew out a switch along the way, and it works perfectly after swapping in a new one. It launches half darts full-auto at around 5 darts per second, roughly 150 FPS. Designed by RadioSilence187.
Master Sword and Hylian Shield
The sword and scabbard were printed in multiple parts and superglued together, with foam padding inside the sheath to quiet the sound of drawing it. I shaped the shield backing from EVA foam with a heat gun and spray painted it to match, then designed a handle and wrist strap and glued the components together. Originally built for a Halloween costume; I later designed a wall mount so both pieces could be displayed at home.
A few smaller designs and one-off prints are still missing from this page. More to come.
