Finally got around to building it and has been working great. For some reason mine had two trigger springs and might've installed the wrong one because the pull was ridiculously hard. Once I switched them out and lubed the trigger, it worked perfectly. I do wish there was a weaker spring option though.
Great looking build and very cute rabbit! There's only one trigger spring spec - 2 of them must of been included by mistake. Perhaps the difference was due to adding the lubricant or another factor.
Being able to print this on an Anet AM8 (modded A8) is amazing!
The tolerances and files are very well made and the instructions are clear every step of the way. I was a bit worried about “having to heat up the insert and push it into place,” but it went flawlessly.
I’m having some issues with the trigger. My PETG prints are a bit brittle and the walls around the trigger spring are a bit on the thin side. I’d say that’s more of a humidity issue than a design problem. The design fits and functions perfectly.
It's comfortable to hold and feels solid and sturdy. I only have good things to say about it.
(One thing to keep in mind when buying a kit from Spain. Import duties were around €25 for me…)
The quality of the parts in the Znc Aus Hardware Kit and the customer service by Bradley was first class. When I received my hardware kit I could instantly see that the parts were really well manufactured and fit for purpose. Unfortunately however, when conducting the inventory check, there was a significant part missing in the box. I immediately contacted the BM Print Shop to inform them of this issue and Bradley took up my case, immediately sending the replacement part through to me. Due to the fact I am in the UK and B M Print is in Australia did cause a delay in receipt of the part, but I finally received it and the Znc Aus build went smoothly due to the high quality of the instructions! Many thanks to the B M Print Shop. Would highly recommend and would definitely use their services again.
Really fun build and high quality parts! The documentation was detailed and very helpful with each step through the process. Shipping was quick and all together just a great experience!
Excellent kit. Ordered one all the way to Sweden. Arrived reasonably quickly and fair postage cost - given where it came from! Kit is very good, included even a spare or two for tiny/easy-to-damage parts - ball bearings, thin pins. Build instructions and printing advice are very good. I've went from PLA/PETG to Prusa PC blend and ASA for durability - with some tweaks it worked very well. Very easy to assemble, very minimal work required to make parts fit - print files are very good. Built it for a friend's kid, now thinking I might get a .50 cal kit just for the fun of it. I have seen people complain about the cost on Printables and elsewhere - but c'mon, a) it's a hobby you spend money on and b) it'd take me forever to find and collect the parts together from different sources, plus shipping - it'd cost double at least and take 4 times longer! So 5 stars al-around.
Awesome blaster, worth every cent and second spent on it.
The parts arrived by post amazingly quickly. The instructions were very well writen and clear with helpful illustrations. It's not the easiest thing to assemble because the tolerances are very tight, but it's extremly robust when completed, and the extra magazine spring is a nice bonus.
The end result is suprisingly powerful and accurate, and the rail is a nice touch and works well with other accessories.
Seller has been great to deal with throughout my build even created a slide variant that looks just awesome with my dual color filament!!!
Super fun project and 11/10 customer support. Had some problems along the way but BM helped me to figure it out, (Problems were my fault completely). Recommend 10/10!!!!!!
Hardware came in as described with correct amount of bits and pieces
Build was a bit of a pain but thats expected with any zinc/moose build
Other than build issues, blaster functions great and is exactly what I was looking for
Great kit, if you want the most compact high end springer blaster on the market this is the go too! My only regret is not getting another kit right away! The files are more or less perfect if you follow the print instructions, add more support on the sear(trigger), other than that great!
I was suprised of how fast the delivery was! (I live in Canada) The parts are very high quality but I think it could have been nice to have extra parts in case a spring or a pin flies away. The 3d model and the documentation are very good, but the tolerances on the 3d models are very tight so I had some trouble assembling my 3d printed parts together (even on a pretty well tuned printer). The final product is very nice to handle and to use. It could also have been nice to have an option to get half lenght darts included in the kit.
Awesome kit & design. Went together easily and packs a punch!
Decided to add a custom nose to commit to the halo look!
This is the best set of nerf guns that I've purchased ever. The print files are easy to print on my bambulab a1 and both nerf guns (compact and 6bcar) printed fully at 100% infill in less than a day. Only minor sanding was needed for the slide, other than that the tolerances were pretty much perfect. The shipping for the hardware kit was free and came in just over a week from ordering which is faster than average for auspost. All parts were included, and all were of very high quality. The kit also came with 2 packets of bonus gummy bears courtesy if the seller! Definitely worth the purchase and will recommend to anyone wanting to print their own Aussie Zinc nerf guns
This is an excellent kit. The hardware was all high quality (including some custom CNC) parts, which I would have struggled to source myself. Not only that, the Creator has designed the best instruction manual i have ever seen (I've been showing people at work just how good the manual is), so I would thoroughly recommend making the printed version if you have access to a 3d printer. I had a blast (pun intended) putting this thing together, it's like a Lego kit but the end product is an insanely fast foam launcher.
Awesome.
The barrel that came with the kit was too narrow and the bullets get stuck in it. Don't buy. Wasted hours of printing and another few hours of putting it together just to disappoint my 8 yo boy
Hi Kevin, I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with your hardware kit build. All barrels are manufactured with the same inner diameter of minimum 12.7mm to provide a tight air seal around 13mm foam darts. While this can feel fairly tight when manually inserting a dart, it is necessary to achieve high velocities with the relatively short barrel length via a tight air seal. If darts are becoming stuck in the barrel, this is almost certainly being caused by a separate issue within the blaster assembly that is significantly reducing air output. Common causes include the barrel not being fully inserted, air leaks at the rear section due to print quality issues, or problems with the plunger or O-ring seals (such as O-rings being installed in incorrect positions).
I previously replied to your MakerWorld comment on the print files more than willing to help you troubleshoot the issue prior to your review here, however I did not receive a response. Please feel free to reach out again via MakerWorld or through the contact form on the website, and I would be happy to help get your blaster running smoothly. I’m confident the issue is likely to be a relatively simple fix. If the barrel does in fact have a manufacturing defect resulting in a bore tighter than 12.7, I would also be more than happy to send a replacement to ensure your blaster performs as advertised.
came quickly via airmail - very happy with kit
Super high quality parts, detailed print files and instructions, great customer service. BMprintshop deserves way more recognition.
Have to say, that the final blaster is very easy to put together, and it's super powerful. The kit is a bit expensive, and the plunger tube was a bit too long, so I had to file it down, but I was assured, that the manufacturer will be informed about this, so it never happens again - props for that. Very surprised about the customer support - unmatched!
very nicely packed, quality of everything included - great. starting the assembly process shortly :)
Will update when I get the kit. Its been in chicago for a week awaiting clearance. Its the holiday season so its to be expected. It did ship fast!
