Hey yall!

Just finished making the leedle hydra stringer with no hardware and hitting between 150 fps to 180 fps which is crazy for a stringer. I wanted to try out the hardware version of it so I got all the materials but swapped the polycarbonate tube out with an aluminum one of the same dimensions. Trying it out but im only getting around 140-150 fps.

Leedle doesn’t have a guide on how to put it in so I just put the O rings in hopefully the right areas (#16 on the face seal, 123’s on the plunger seal and 2 on the plunger cap?)

Am I doing anything wrong to not be getting past 200 fps?

P.S, lubed the tube crazy style, new fully tightened 4 mm string, and using the o rings head instead.

After 1 day in total of printing and 2 days worth of waiting for the right filament, I finally finished my copy of the leviathan from leedle!

Im only having a few issues with the priming where its super stiff and some pegs were too loose but it shoots great around 100-110 fps on 4 mm elastic (idk how im getting that high tbh). The elastic does slip the dart sometimes and idk how to fix it.

Thank you again to those who helped me find the right color scheme I had in mind using the google gemini mockup (based off of slone’s titan from tf2).

Let me know if there are any mods or cosmetic designs to upgrade this blaster, thank you :)

Hey yall!

I need some help picking out some colors for this leedle dynamics Leviathan. I already have printed the body as maroon red and planning to print the handle, stock, and top rail as black. Im having trouble picking a color to make the pins, lever bar, stringer arms, and other accent colors.

Here are some pictures for reference (don’t mind how bad the drawing is lol)

1. My concept of what I want (basing it off the colors of slones titan from titanfall 2)

2. colorless leviathan

3. Leedles color scheme

4. Slone from TF2

I currently have orange and white filament with me but I also have gold(ish) filament arriving soon just incase.

Thank you for the help!

This was my first time trying to make an elastic short dart blaster since I just successfully made the orca mega xl launcher and fortinbras. Issue was I was not getting great fps which is expected from these blasters so I tried the short dart ones.

After assembling with a 4mm cord, I was getting 110 fps on my chrono which was jaw dropping for me on a stringer.

What are yalls suggestions for improvements or other fun 3d pribt stringers. Im looking for some full length blasters aswell!

Hey yall!

So I recently got the APX high load spring upgrade from dart zone but I’m also running brooklyntaylors apx dmr kit. The side prime is really hard to prime (obviously). I was wondering if there are any other side prime options that may work or if there are any ways to make the side prime stronger and smoother. For reference, I printed at petg 5 walls and 80% infill for the side prime kit but I can barely get to the end of the stroke.

I wanted to share my armory because I really have no one else to show this to without being embarrassed by how much there are.

I left the hobby years ago and recently came back late last year when my little cousin got into nerf. I then got into thrifting which got me most of these blasters with pennies on the dollar. It gave me a chance to finally get to use the blasters I’ve dreamt of using when they first came out (specifically the zomebiestrike line). Now with blaster companies advancing their technology to make pro blasters more affordable, I just had to get my hands on some of them.

This led me down the pipeline of modding and eventually getting a 3d printer to aid in modding and cosmetics. Its been a great experience learning 3d printing and getting back into the hobby so I just wanted to share :)

Most of these guns that have 3d printed cosmetics are also internally modded and I’d love to get your suggestions on what other things I can do to add or improve my blasters.

Thank you!
