Description
This is the Ekster,
Its a nightingale wheel mechanical semi auto blaster. Its basically a gryphon merged with a flycore meant to make a sleeker but somewhat cartoonish old school smg look.
Assembly,
its pretty straight forward but the stock needs to be glued so after you put in the stock pins just apply a generous amount of adhesive and let it rest. The “connector” parts need to be printed twice and require sanding for the perfect fit.
Print settings
Especially the moving parts should be printed at relatively high quality. Most parts however can be done fast and low quality.
Hardware:
screws, roughly 30 m3x12. (self tappings are optional but preferred) Nerf toy screws will work
A pair of high RPM flywheels. (loki's or Honey-badgers for example)
A 5A cherry switch. (can be higher amp but i can't assure it will fit)
A trigger return compression spring. (pen springs will work.)
A 2x20mm steel dowel pin for the gear. (or cut a same diameter nail to size)
Thanks to/credits/remixed files:
