Znc Aus - Functional Powerful Mag-Fed Nerf Pistol - Cosmetic Part Variants

Leave a like and post a make if you print! I would love to see it. See below for how to build your own functional blaster.

These are alternative cosmetic parts for the Znc Aus, with a more aggressive, tactical look. This listing contains all parts needed for the Znc Aus, including unchanged ones. These parts require no hardware changes and so use the original hardware kit for the Znc Aus. See here for the original Znc Aus model listing (check out all the amazing makes from everyone!).

About the Znc Aus blaster: The Znc Aus is a high-powered, mag fed (7-13 dart capacity) foam dart (Nerf) spring-powered blaster pistol in a compact size. It is capable of up to 200 feet-per-second muzzle velocity. It has 3 variants with different muzzle configurations. See further down for more information.

Everything You Need To Build Your Own

• Purchase a hardware kit:
  -Hardware Kits can be found here.
  -Discounted 'Duel Bundle' (2x Hardware Kits) for this blaster can be found here.
  -Discounted 3-Blaster Hardware Kit Bundle Pack (Zc Aus, Znc Aus, Zinc .50) can be found here.
  Please note: Hardware kit sales support me in developing upcoming designs. They include several custom-machined parts, not just off-the-shelf parts. They are priced for an order frequency that I can keep fast dispatch times up with while also remaining competitive with similar kits.
• Download the print files from this model listing.
• Download the print and assembly guide here.
• Buy some half-length darts if you don't already own any, here are some links: US - Frontline Foam, OutOfDarts, EU - Blaster Time, AU - Blaster Tech
• You will need some basic common tools for assembly, and some glue if you choose to install the magnets (not necessary for functionality), see the assembly guide linked above. Lubricant is included in the hardware kit.

IMPORTANT NOTE - PRINT IN BRIGHT COLOURS
Due to it's design this blaster must be printed in bright colours and with an orange tip to differentiate it from a real firearm if you will be taking it anywhere where it could be visible to the public. This is mainly for your own safety, but also for the safety of everyone. This is your responsibility!

If you are interested in a more powerful (but larger) similar blaster, check out the Zinc .50. If you are interesting in a super compact pocket-sized (but less powerful) blaster, check out the Zc Aus.

Textured Grip Note
The textured grip shown on the frame part in the images is done with fuzzy skin fill-painting in Prusaslicer. The grip sections are bordered by a small deboss which allows them to be easily fill-painted with the fuzzy skin fill-painting tool in the slicer. The settings used for fuzzy skin in the blasters in the images are 0.18 thickness and 0.25 point distance. There is also a 3MF file for Prusaslicer available which has the fuzzy skin already set up with these settings.

Variants
A bearing scar (BCAR) uses rings of flanged bearings with each at a slight angle to impart spin on the dart as it exits the barrel, vastly increasing accuracy with little effect on velocity. The 3 muzzle options consist of different BCAR configurations:

• A compact version with no BCAR
• A version with a 6 bearing BCAR integrated into the front
• A version with an extended barrel and an external 12 bearing BCAR

This model listing includes new cosmetic part variants for all blaster variants!

The extended barrel variant is the most accurate, and its longer barrel achieves a slightly higher fps on average than the other two, with the compromise of it being less wieldy (while looking cool).

Additions and Changes
The Znc Aus is based on the Znc by Misplaced Moose, but it includes an optional handguard, an external 'suppressor' BCAR variant, revised no-compromise hardware including a CNC plunger core, a brass-lined barrel, slide magnets, double O-rings on all seals, and more. Nearly all parts have been remodeled with modifications for performance, ease of assembly, and aesthetics. See the images for more details.

Assembly
Assembly is relatively straightforward. The assembly guide is detailed and includes troubleshooting steps for common issues. Unlike the original Zinc 2.0, no excessive sanding is required to get parts to fit and function, as long as the parts are printed accurately. A dimensionally accurate printer such as a Prusa or Bambu model is recommended for easy assembly. All information and tips on print settings, filament, and more can be found in the print and assembly guide.

Note
Like the Znc, the Znc Aus is an unofficial descendant of the Zinc 2.0 blaster by 118 Design.
