Barrel Upgrades for the Proton Blaster MOD (Patreon)

I mentioned in my post that I am a fan of the new Proton Blaster MOD by Hasbro - it's a decent sized toy (maybe 10% smaller than a full-size movie thrower) and the play value of the exchangeable parts feels very "Ghostbustery". Super fun!
Out-of-the-box, the blaster comes with two blaster extensions that use a simple attachment point on the toy. It's an easy way to configure the thrower and fun for kids!
I saw an opportunity to create some custom 3D printable parts for the toy - namely barrels that are styled after the different Neutrona Wands we have seen over the years. This STL package includes the following styles:
- Movie-style - Which 'completes' the look of the Proton Blaster
- RGB-style - Which has that cartoon-style cone emitter tip
- Kenner-style - Which is Modeled after the original Kenner toy thrower from the 80s.
When printed, each one clicks comfortably onto the end of the Proton Blaster MOD! I printed mine on an Ender 3 using PLA with 'Standard' 0.2 mm layer height.
This post has some example pictures - you can see that I opted to keep with the blue/yellow theme of the toy. (I'm sure some of you will want to give everything that movie-style black look)
These are simple parts and very easy to print. Have fun!
