NERF Flywheel Mk21 "Meaker's Hawk"/"Great Meaked Owl"

Long overdue update: I’ll reevaluate thingiverse hosting if it has stabilized. For a significant period of time, I couldn’t post, edit, or update files, downloads wouldn’t work, and the site was just totally unstable. On top of that, piracy ran rampant and I have found several of my and other creators’ non-commercial works offered for sale around the web. However this and other of my designs on thingiverse are all largely outdated, and so for private use only I will rehost their original file sets. If you like what I do and want to support me continuing to do it, check out the etsy; I use earnings from that to justify buying filament, hardware, and printers.

Thank you for your support.

This is a redraw of Ansuzalgiz's Falcon. At the time of redraw, it was licensed under the GNU/GPL 3.0. This license permits: Commercial use, Modification, Distribution, Patent use, and Private use; has limitations on liability and warranty, and requires the license and copyright notice I am providing here and linked above, stated changes, disclosed source, and the same license. The blaster uses FTW microflywheels available here.

The change summary is that I adjusted the whole thing to be single stage and smaller to fit on my 6"^3 print bed without splitting any part. This involved reorienting the battery tray to be vertical, which is why the large box is on the front. I also adjusted the appearance, and fixed some tolerance issues with the magwell/grip and mechanical components (they were too tight when printed as-provided initially). I also renamed it to "Meaker's Hawk" because hawks typically have smaller wingspans and are slower than falcons, and I, Meaker, have discovered it (Eg: Cooper's Hawk).

My source is included as is the link to the original source files.

I haven't tested this with electronics hardware installed (dry fit printed components and springs), but also haven't changed it. I did switch to 1/2" #6 course thread screws (eg: Plastite, Drywall, Sheet Metal; M3.5 should also work) instead of threaded inserts and bolts. Parts include:

• Flywheel-the-world Flywheel flywheel pair

• 2x honeybadger motors

• Microswitch

• Xt60 connector (or connectors for your pack)

• 16/18 gauge stranded wire

• Heat shrink

• Small compression spring (McMaster 9657K266 for 6)

• Small extension spring (McMaster 9654K971 for 12)

• M2 motor mounting screws (x4/5; I've had issues with printed cages and x4)

• Plastic safe grease for moving parts

• Appropriate Lipo or other battery pack capable of supplying 28A continuous at stall (Outside dimensions should be less than: 97x24x39mm; some space for extra tether/alarm but not much), charger, and optionally alarm

WIP because I always select that. I don't foresee critical changes, the parts fit together and the ones that might have issues could be adjusted easily in post.
