Those are the most recent files for the takedown, so you can print your own coupler off of thingiverse in either orientation. If you can it's best to print them in PETG or ABS. The file for the Upper portion of the magwell also allows for a hex nut on the upper threaded rod. I also offer a coupler with aluminum inserts.
Slug did release an “AluMilan” coupler, it replaces the stock milan coupler piece and accepts little aluminum inserts to strengthen the blaster! That might be worth checking out
It’s really cool that Slug is getting royalties, especially because Chinese companies aren’t known for respecting people's original work. Of course, if I wanted another Caliburn I’d just buy it directly from him because I’m not really a huge fan of the white and red/blue color scheme.
I know it's not your X-Strike colors, Cap'n, but that blue and white scheme looks so pretty... ***EDIT: Also, 84 fps from a shot with two half-darts is still pretty impressive. Potentially useful, too, if the spread pattern is at all predictable.
If anyone has the problem with the print breaking down like in this video, Captain Slug has his version up on thingiverse. The milan coupler, that's what Slug calls the part that crack on the worker caliburn, is recommended to be printed with a layer height of no more than 0.3mm, have a four line outer shell, and be printed with at least 20% infill. The war I went to the day after completing my caliburn, built from a Captain Slug hardware with the 788 spring, got between one and two hundred rounds through it before my hand started to blister. At the end of the day, I had Captain Xavier check my work on the blaser, and he said he saw no major issues. While, yes, now it's starting to look like I'll need to reprint the coupler for my caliburn, Captain Slug has taken steps to counter the structural issues with the blaster; and since the upload of this video, Slug has come out with a version of the milan coupler that has specially made aluminum, yes, I'm American, deal with it, inserts that make it far stronger and Worker has a fully injection molded caliburn receiver.
My friend got the metal reinforcements for that CS part that cracked, it connects the take down pins to the pin that holds magwell in. You should look into them
i've noticed that the magwell of the Deploy is based off the flashlight housing on an MP10 smg, so theoretically you can modify the magwell to hold a strong flashlight, attach it to the front of a stryfe and make an AR styled MP10 that would be dubbed: the MAR-10
You have your own set of loaner Caliburns. Wanna share lol Thank you for your honesty about this version though. I always believed Slug did better work
Looks good, I have the ability to print Caliburn parts, but getting a full kit to assemble seems simpler than printing off the parts and ordering the hardware kit separately, if I can convert it with my own printed parts, I don't see any reason to not make it a Rivalburn or Megaburn.
I'm working on assembling this exact thing right now, and running into a problem. The included screws that secure the pump grip to the priming bars are not large enough, and so they won't bite into the print or the aluminum bars at all. There were also no nuts of the proper size included for those larger screws, so I have to assume they were meant to bite into the printed plastic. It's probably just me, but I just wanted to get that out there for those who can't easily secure replacement hardware.
@Captain Xavier It's all good, I just ran to the hardware store and bought a ton of them. For just a few bucks, it wasn't that big of a deal for me. It's all assembled now with a 20" cpvc barrel, and it's performing beautifully!
Calibur(n) Isn't actually another name for the Sword Excalibur. Calibur is the sword King Arthur owned before Excalibur and he pulled Calibur out of the stone. Excalibur was gifted to him from the lady of the lake after he lost calibur in a battle
@@CaptainXavier there are so many. So I cant really tell.,but on Wikipedia it says one of the most common Stories of King Arthur mixes both swords together under the Name Excalibur, but the Sword Calbur and Excalibur were 2 different swords. If I find the version I refer to I´ll let you know. :)
@@notfeedynotlazy I also read that Story. but I actually referring to another story where the first Sword Arthur claimed for his own was Calibur and he pulled it out of that famous stone and the Sword from the lake was excalibur. There are so many tales around the Sword Excalibur and so many different version and I rly love that diversity
Being the owner of 8 caliburns, 6 of which are printed in petg and takedown versions, you really REALLY need to print that coupler (the part that cracked) in PETG or ABS. I've printed them in PLA and they've cracked after anywhere between a few shots, and a couple of katanas worth of darts. I printed version 1 and 2, and version 2 lasted about 20 mags worth of firings in a 788 spring, and I've printed the version you have, the chunky version (which can be found here www.thingiverse.com/thing:3194439 but it has been rolled into the standard file set too ) in PETG and it hasnt died yet (both 788 and k26). I've found that If you turn down or disable your cooling fan while printing in petg, and slow the print speed down a little bit (maybe 10% ish) it will give better layer adhesion and make for a much stronger part, just dont print in 100% infill (60-70% should do, with 2mm perimeters/walls) because in my experience a solid object will counter-intuitively crack a lot easier from the vibration and friction than something with a lower infill. Still, good video cap, cheers.
Honestly, the teardown feature should have been horizontal pins or thumbscrews and not vertical pins. If you must have teardown, a small-diameter hole is a lot more structurally sound than a long channel in that orientation.
Guess I've been really lucky. I got one of the first sets of the abs milancoupler and it's been holding up for almost 6 months. I do only run the k25 or 788 springs though.
No, you got an ABS coupler, and theirs is PLA. Slug actually made a variant of the upper magwell that has a cutaway in the top to make it more rigid for PLA couplers.
I have considered that too...I might try that actually. And no, if I want a metal upgrade kit I'll get this one: www.workerkit.com/p/Worker-Metal-Parts-Upgrade-Kit-for-Worker-Holy-Sword-Blaster-Silver_2614436.html It is half the cost and has more metal parts. Not a pretty though.
@@CaptainXavier the top pair of thread rods can readily be replaced by a single long rod, since the hole is already through and through. I did it already and it can still enable you to do quick take down, as long as you use a wing nut at the front end of the rod.
my son and daughter have recently gotten into Nerf which I love we have been big into Larping and the idea of modding fascinates me any suggestions for primaries to start with and wherē to go for mod materials any help would be greatly appreciated
You simply cannot go wrong with either the Stryfe or the Alpha Trooper as starting blasters. OutofDarts.com and FoamBlastShop.com are the best places to get mod parts. Welcometo the hobby!
NFstrike one is currently 13% off, so its 120USD as opposed to 136 on workerkit. Not trying to be negative against workerkit, just saying thats the current prices :)
Newsflash, some people dont like drac. Also I love the fact that worker is producing a metal parts kit for half the price, and it includes twice the amount of parts.
Incase you have more problems this exists... etsy.me/2WE93ZS it’s a aluminum insert and with a altered Milan coupler these put the stress into the frame of the caliburn. So it’ll work without instant disassembly.
I figured. But seriously...I can just put on and extra layer and be fine...ya'll need to set fire to some fat cat politicians or something to stay warm...
There has to be some method of minimization that can be used on this blaster. I assume an individual would have to do more than just cut down the barrel but I believe there is a way to minimize this beast.
I assume you mean this kit: www.workerkit.com/p/Worker-Metal-Parts-Upgrade-Kit-for-Worker-Holy-Sword-Blaster-Silver_2614436.html Has more metal parts and is half the cost.
I got one but it is very difficult to prime I hurt my shoulder after 2 magazine .Half the mag dart damage many stuck in the barrel . no doubt it is powerful to shoot far.what is the main cause any suggestions
@@CaptainXavier I mean if you know someone with a CNC mill it's easy, or if there's a machine shop near you that can do it. It may be expensive without knowing the right people, but it is a viable option.
Viable, sure. But I wouldn't call it an easy solution. There are folks who have built 100% metal Caliburns. The easy solution I went with was drilling holes all the way through it the long way and putting in full length rods. It no longer tears down but it is now solid. ;P
Oost or myself have metric parts sets, although his is for a 40mm plunger tube, mine is for the stock plunger tube you get from slug, so there are less custom parts.
Mephiston yeah except the closest thing I have to a job is mowing our lawn for dad which isnt happening jn -50 degree weather, and i have way better things I could be using my money for (yes -50 degrees, i live in northeast Wisconsin)

Get well soon. That sucks. :/
Thanks so much I needed this, just waiting for my Lipo battery to charge for my stryfe I just moded using your tutorials for a stryfe.

Between you and me, I'm glad to see worker get in on this and have slug involved, unlike what happened with the SAB.

My friend got the metal reinforcements for that CS part that cracked, it connects the take down pins to the pin that holds magwell in. You should look into them
as far as I’m aware this caluburn is mostly done with metic screws/bolts so not sure if a standard one would work
Fortunately, you can substitute M3 with 4-40 and M5 with 10-32, but I believe there's going to be an imperial version too.

Great video. Thank you for the honest review and offering solutions to solve those challenges.
glad you covered this one.

Tell you what, get one, try it, and if/when it melts, send it to me. :P
Nope not even a couple of hours lol

Not worker my own

Six months later. How did it hold up.
Will that crack effect the blaster or is it just a annoying thing
What?
@@CaptainXavier the part that cracked did or will that effect the blaster or its just more of the crack is just there and being a slight eye sore
Honestly, the teardown feature should have been horizontal pins or thumbscrews and not vertical pins. If you must have teardown, a small-diameter hole is a lot more structurally sound than a long channel in that orientation.
The Caliburn seems way cooler than the Hurricane though, maybe that's why they sent the Caliburn to you and the Hurricane to "everybody else".
If they fix the breaking issue, I will probably get one. The Caliburn is the precision rifle of my dreams.
Guess I've been really lucky. I got one of the first sets of the abs milancoupler and it's been holding up for almost 6 months. I do only run the k25 or 788 springs though.
