Description
I love blasting with the skewer, and with that new holster that shoelesshistorian just released, it should be HVZ ready for a special infected side-arm. The only issue is the nite-finder style pull takes up so much space against the body. This solves the issue by making the blaster pull back to prime, and push forward to keep the footprint small, like the Nerf Knockout. Special printing: The air pass-through needs to be n TPU, as it replaces the cushioning that the old goblin had. I printed in ~7walls ~20% infill. The Plunger needs to print hollow facing down. This is counter-intuitive to how it looks like it should be printed, but I've had issues with this slipping on the original goblin, if oriented incorrectly. This is the only file intentionally oriented. Extra hardware: 5 4-40 or similar screws 1 5/16" -0.215" or similar aluminum tube, ~160 mm long (I substituted 5/16 OD brass for color, the ID just needs to be > 10-32 threaded rod 1 10-32 threaded rod, ~210 mm long 2 10-32 hex nuts 1 Dash-011 or similar o-ring. These are the same parts used for the matching assembly on the skewer. Assembly: Put the tube through plunger part a and slide the o-ring down the shaft the the chamfered space on the inside. Slide plunger part b down the opposite side, countersinks facing AWAY from part a. Line the screw holes and countersinks as best you can and push part b all the way into part a. Use 3 screws to sandwich the o-ring. Thread a nut and the air passthrough onto one side of the rod, with the nut facing outward. slide the tube over the rod, with the face of plunger part a facing the pass-through. slide the spring into place, and cover with the back spring rest. Push down on the back rest so that the rod AND tube peek through. Slide grip part a onto the assembly, and make sure the tube is seated. Thread the last nut onto the assembly, and tighten between the front and rear nuts. Screw grip part b onto the back. I ended up fitting the assembly together and cutting the rod/tube a tad short of these values, and I regretted it. Since this is untested by anyone other than myself, I recommend giving yourself a little clearance and coming down to these numbers as fit for your blaster. The prime handle should not be touching the blaster at any rotation when resting. You will also likely need to cut down on whatever spring you're using, since this has slightly less space for compression. When primed, this has ~30 mm of space for your spring. I ended up using ~140 mm of k25. Special thanks to the insight from r/nerf discord and to Taffy/CharamileDesigns, not just for designing the skewer, but for helping me with the air pass-through and sending me a base part to modify.
