WU - World Largest Nerf Rival! (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone! Late weekly update here. Next video will hopefully be up the 28th and all this photos above show how much progress I've made on the project.
The (self proclaimed) world largest nerf rival will be a (kind of) gatling gun with an interior rotating drum. The front of the gun will be a serpentine that will act as a magazine and will end on the rotating drum. The ball launching system will be the same as the last ball cannon I made and I'll be using the vacuum at the input of the EDF to bring the balls from the magazine into the drum. A brushless motor with a large GT2 belt will spin the drum and we'll hopefully get a pretty decent "round per second" speed.
It'll have a side panel with switches to arm and select the firing modes with leds for the different variables and battery level and will be fired using a combination of two buttons, one to start the EDF and another one to start the spinning drum.
It took quite a while to design this one and with all the parts combined it'll amount to approximately 20 days of printing, it seems that I don't know how to do small things, I hope you don't mind.
I hope you like this kind of update, please let me know because I could do these more often when there are no videos in sight.
Your thoughts and questions down below will be very much appreciated, thanks everyone!!!
