{"data":{"model":{"id":"648696","slug":"bolter-human-scale-darktide-brushless-mega-xl-blas","name":"Bolter - Human Scale, Darktide, Brushless MEGA XL blaster","authorship":"author","club":false,"excludeCommercialUsage":false,"price":null,"eduProject":null,"ratingAvg":"0E-10","myRating":null,"ratingCount":0,"description":"

This is a printable model of the Bolter from Darktide built on reference images taken in-game. It has been made longer to accommodate Mega XL Nerf darts for function. Split files for the top cover have been provided, but will need to be split in slicer into seperate objects. Expect updates eventually(?) for additional cosmetic add-ons (emblems for the front)

Parts are almost universally M3 screws of varying lengths, with brushed flywheel motor screws used to secure the top sights in place.

Version Control:
V1.0: Made a ton of changes to the files for ease of printing, assembly, and overall functionality. Pretty much no file was left untouched.

Detailed/Correct Hardware List and Instructions coming soon(ish)!
Disclaimer: Current Hardware list is mostly accurate, but quantities are probably off. **PARTS ARE NOT PRE-ORIENTED FOR PRINTING**

FAQ:
Q: FPS?
A: It's weird, but it seems to always get near 95 FPS on 2-4s, 100% PWM. Need to do throttle testing to see what the trade space is.

Q: Why is there like an inch at the rear of the magazine?
A: This was for the separate pusher in the magazine, which allows it to use multiple ammo types. This feature is no longer here, but the space has been left to implement it in the future.

Q: Why is the hyperdrive not in line with the dart/mag feed path?
A: It was originally modeled to be in line with the round greeble at the back, and since it worked, I wasn't going to mess with it further.

Q: Why don't you use normal motors?
A: They'll burn out.

Q: Why not normal MEGA?
A: It's not as funny, doesn't permakill shields in my locality, and someone somewhere already made a brushless MEGA bolter.

Q:
A: I can be found on Discord or Instagram @UPWDesign.

++ OLD BRUSHED/SLIDING CAGE VERSION (IGNORE) ++ =================

Dumping my bolter files on printables because they're waaay past due. This blaster accommodates a bunch of bronze sliding bushings and 3mm steel rods to facilitate movement of the in-magazine pusher and the lower half of the flywheel cage.

V0.2: Unfortunately, this design is being abandoned since even Banned Blasters motors are unable to withstand a few Mega XL jams. Further, printing Flywheels using even the best available FDM solutions leaves much to be desired, as it's very difficult to print flywheels that are exactly perpendicular to the shaft hole. Subsequently, there will be little documentation for this particular version, save for the brief update on Instagram, and some more pictures I'll add eventually.

V0.3: Looking to make a brushless version with a hyperdrive pusher to alleviate trigger force concerns as well as motor torque issues. Want to add specs for people to adapt multiple brushless motor types. (Update 8 Jan 2024: It works! Will be adding files once final edits are made!)
