The day that Dart Zone released a free file, for printing a lefty holster for the mk2, was the day that I realized there is atleast one big nationally available company that respects the modding/maker community.

YES DOCTOR, PREACH IT

I just built a Skewer with my 10yo - he loves all kinds of blasters but now this one is his baby. He learned how a sealed barrel works, and picked up a bunch of mechanical skills along the way. It's an extremely special experience.
Plenty of families are probably fine with some of the better quality off-the shelf options, but I wish way more families would move towards DIY routes once they want to step up a notch.

This is only the beginning of 3d printed blasters... imagine 5 to 10 years from now. It's gonna be epic💙

Hasbro truly doesn’t care - they just need to have legal protection for when you change the blaster in a way that their warnings don’t address. They would rather sell you a blaster that you then mod than not sell a blaster at all.

Even printing blasters for the sake of function in a child or family friendly backyard battle is worth it!

I have a Skewer, and though I run it with a scar, Kuryaka barrel, and SF25TC spring, I can also switch to an aluminium barrel and AF Liberator spring in order to bring it down to 90-110FPS. That turns it from a competitive springer to a safer and sweet backyard blaster of choice when playing with the kids or family members who aren't keen on competitive play!

Thank you for talking about STEM and kids. I offered to buy my 8yo nephew(who along a his cousin got me first interested in blaster and this hobby) a 3D printer and my mother and little sister laughed and kinda looked at me weird(probably because im deep in an online Goodwill nerf auctions addiction and my basement is bursting w blasters) but my point in doing it was that my nephew is extremely intelligent and if using his toys to get him into math, science, and useful technology AND occupies his time in a constructive way that possibly leads to a college degree or 2. Well heres a great way..anyways this video has convinced to break forgot about Goodwill and get that printer...and like 20something motors from Out of Darts lol.. Great video Doctor..

Why should I give money to a corporation that sells marketing when I can learn about toymaking, or work with a friend that loves art and making things? Why feed the beast when I can support my fellow man?
All this to say, I hope more people drive corporations worthless as the means of production shift to be more universally accessible.

I think the biggest reason why Nerf refuses modding is because they want to ensure their brand of being a toy company. Dart Zone can get away with being a hobby company and their limited regions, but with Hasbro and their international markets with varying laws towards ballistics, it sort of makes sense that they'll do this

After all, don't want lawsuits about your blasters causing welts on kids, right?

[cit.resells]

its that hasbro does not want to get sued by someone that they tired to mod a blaster but they hurt them selfs or broke the blaster

[virustheguardian]

You know, it’s a pretty valid point because if you compare a fully customizable blaster and stock blaster, the difference is night and day but to me there’s a certain feeling of accomplishment when I turn cheap blaster into something awesome. For example my first mod was your redux kit for the knockout and I loved the feeling when I turned a cheap good will single shot rival jolt and making into a 3 shot 130 fps side arm beast. I do respect the 3d printing community and I think it’s amazing with what some people make like the springthunder caliburn and others but I just love modifying stock blasters.

I’ve had a few 3D printers for around 3 years. And MAN it’s epic. I’ve printed maybe 7+ blasters. They perform incredibly, it’s customizable and generally a lot cheaper. If you get some good filament and hardware, man you can make some epic stuff. Great vid!

[andrewhoney]

I really want to become able to 3d print but I'm not so sure I'm smart enough to figure it out. It honestly scares me that I'll spend a bunch of money on the equipment and won't be able to use it. I wish you lived close or I knew someone close that could walk me through it. You're amazing man. I appreciate your videos and hope one day I'll be able to make something of my own. Keep up the good work Dr. Flux!

[Shastavalleyoutdoorsman]

Being able to build your own custom dart blasters is like some fever dream from childhood. Great video.

[builderbb]

Great overview on the hobby... hobbies? Yeah print, paint, play

[Dima_Sen_]

Thank you for bringing us this wonderful content!!

🍪🙌🍪

[Rraijjar]

As a blaster designer i find this video pretty spot on!

[sniperbobdave]

I think hasbro has that listing on the blaster because the blasters are designed for kids and they don’t want to get sued or something if a kid hurts them self with it.

[nicknhnc]

I hope the few non foam tag players saw this video and got inspired.

[unscrupulousmodefiler]

"Do not modify darts..." 🤣🤣🤣

Preach, brother!

Though everyone's so busy working on subverting the LAST part of the commandment ("Thou shalt not modify your blaster...") that they ignore the first bit... and we're NEVER going to fully cut the apron-strings to Mama Hasbro until we embrace community-produced and modified ammo as well 😉

[carlosc]

I believe that this video should be for anyone trying to get into the nerf hobby. My goodness man this was so informative and awesome way to introduce a newcomer. Thank you doc. Your Amazon 😎👍
