A really good rule of thumb is never leave your printed stuff anywhere you wouldn't leave a child or pet. Lipos fall into this too. Heat and high discharge batteries don't mix well.
@@CaptainXavier I was also thinking about using the injection molded magazine well by worker. I hope you have a wonderful day and sorry if I interrupted your sleep.
This is why I immediately moved my Caliburn into the house from my storage unit when I moved to Arizona. There was some loosening of nuts during shipment, but no warpage that I could see.
I believe that very blaster has shown up at a naptown nerf vlub war a couple times,and if not then someone has printed one that looks exactly like that
Huge fan of the channel. Would you do a video on 3d printing as you remake the Caliburn? I'm currently printing a rival version and would love any advice. Pla/abs, heated beds versus using painters tape (can you use both?), orientation, temperatures, etc. I'm new to the hobby and 3d printing so I would love to learn some of your methods.
Fair enough, with any luck my little printer will be up to the task. I'm excited to create multiple front ends to switch between my two favorite ammo types (Rival and mega).
I learned this when I did my internship project at NASA. I built a railgun using 3D printed parts for the housing of the copper rails and my solenoid loading device. I left it in the car while we had our tour, when we went to retrieve the projects, my "barrel" had a 15 degree bend it it. The rails were straight obviously, but it just looked really sloppy compared to when it was all straight and nice.
I was working on an 8 shot hammershot cylinder sanding it and decided to use a polish wheel in a dremel, LUCKEY I noticed it acting funny and stopped but it was essentially burning the plastic away at a similar rate to a sanding wheel to a normal plastic
I'm not sure how to describe it... Look at the broken part. Visualize what is missing. Figure out how to achieve the same thing (namely something sticking out of the bottom of the blaster that the grip can attach to) using sheet metal. Alternatively...use bolts.
Say captain: if I wanted to buy a caliburn, is there a spring that would keep the velocity below 160fps(150-120 range is what I'm looking for)? It's more for safety than anything else, and also so I could use it at most wars.
Since they're open source, you could get it printed in literally any other plastic than PLA and you'd probably be fine. And you'd have a stronger blaster.
Not the downside of 3d printed printed parts, this is the downside of PLA. PETG fixes this problem while retaining almost all of the ease of printing of PLA. People need to stop using PLA for nerf.

I'd run that in nerf war 😂
Yes. That is amazing

This is why I'm printing all mine in PETG now exclusively. They survive australian summers slightly better.
I see you got my package. Enjoy the loaner caliburn Captain Xavier. I hope others learn from my mistake.
I feel so bad for you mtsEnrique
this also tends to happen to homemades made from clear plastic.
at least the hardware is ok. its easy enough to print a new set of chassis components
You could do one up in your normal colors and one in inverted colors
That is the plan. :)
That sounds awesome
What do you think about making the 3d printed parts out of wood? The internals such as the plunger will be a tooth and nail.
If you have the tools and the skills to carve hardwood into parts that complex...go for it.

I honestly don't know that much about 3d printing. I bought my printers fully tuned and have not messed with the settings since I got them. :/

Hi.Hope your well.Could you reheat the parts and bend them back? Great vid as always. TkEZ»UK
Some of the parts maybe. But with enough heat PLA will actually shrink (this why all the bolts are loose) so most of it is completely ruined.
I really do love this series!
egad, it looks like Lemar's Javelin from Revenge Of The Nerds
Poor Caliburn. At least it has a new home with you Captain.
Sorry for the random question, Are you going to Brickcon in Seattle this weekend?
Yes
@@CaptainXavier Awesome I hope to see you there!

200 degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius?
Kelvin.
Captain Xavier that is actually very funny
oh its showing up pretty damn well
Good thing I live somewhere with only 3 months of sunlight period!
So if you live out of an rv put it into a fridge
Luckily that's never happened to my gear. What's an FDL? Is that another blaster or is it a part?
It is a blaster.
**STOP USING PLA**
I’m the guy who asked about the rough cut I have access to sheet metals and I know a guy
Then make metal plates to replace the parts that broke. When in doubt, find a way to use metal.
The tiny knobs that connect to the pump grip how would one attach metal replacements?

Yes captain slug will ship a caliburn with a k26 and k25 spring but there is a 3rd spring option that will get those numbers you want on his etsy.
@@mtsEnrique thanks!
Thr 788 sping isbyour friend
Ooh, that poor blaster!
Hey captain Xavier I got a good idea? How about a mega doubledown shotgun?
That's why I don't have a Caliburn. I'm notorious for leaving my blasters in my car.
Since they're open source, you could get it printed in literally any other plastic than PLA and you'd probably be fine. And you'd have a stronger blaster.
damn it i live in CA i now am reconsidering getting one :( 100 degrees isn't extream here so ya...
Exactly why I won't buy 3d printed parts. If I ever build a caliburn IL go to a machine shop and make them from metal
3d printed parts are fine, provided you follow the guidelines in this video... or print in nylon or abs or petg.
Hooded Creeper ABS won’t melt so I’d just go with that and it’s pretty cheap
