Also in the READ ME.txt file:

This version of the Cricket has a slightly larger grip, modified lever with better handles, and a redesigned receiver that allows for low power or high power shots, depending on the elastic draw length. It shoots half darts about as far and fast as my Replicant blaster, which I think is on the higher end of 110 FPS (I don't own a chronograph, unfortunately). The Cricket Pro can shoot half or full darts, and it could probably shoot .50 cal foam balls as well. Either way, have fun!

==[ PRINTING ]==
- I printed all my parts in generic PLA with 3 wall loops and 20% gyroid infill.
- I printed the lever standing on its back edge with support, the receiver on its front end with support, and the grip on its bottom face with support. The pins and trigger are straightforward and print without support.
- The pictures on Printables have a black grip color, orange main color, and white tertiary color.

==[ ASSEMBLY ]==
Requires elastic or shock cord, and one of every printed part.
1. Put trigger into the receiver; its hook on the long side should rest in the back of the channel.
2. Insert the trigger pin.
3. Place the lever on the top of the receiver, aligning with the pin hole.
4. Place the grip on the bottom of the receiver, aligning with the pin hole.
5. Insert the lever pin. (It should be a snug fit--if it falls out, dab some glue in the grip's pin hole.)
6. Tie some thin elastic or a rubber band around the trigger and front of the receiver (Optional, but the trigger will be loose when unprimed, and could cause a jam.)
7. Loop elastic or shock cord behind the lever. through the channel, and through the receiver's two front holes. Tie half a knot in one of the two indents at the front or bottom of the receiver.
8. Holding the string, prime the blaster by pulling the lever up and backwards.
9. Tighten the string and finish the square knot.

==[ PRIMING AND FIRING ]==
1. To prime the blaster, hold the front of the receiver with your off hand and use two fingers from your main hand to pull the lever up and back.
2. Load a dart through the back port, aligning with the back edge of the lip on the receiver. 
3. Push the lever down, or, if you're feeling cool, shake the blaster to snap the lever back into place.
4. Point and shoot. (Shoots relatively hard [~110 FPS? Shoots as hard as my Replicant] if you have the elastic pulled down to the bottom indent. Eye protection recommended.)

==[ DEPRIMING ]==
1. To deprime a primed blaster, pull back on the lever with your firing hand like it's hammer-action. This will dislodge the elastic and snap the lever forwards, misfiring the dart (either falling out of the barrel at low velocity or never making it out).
2. Tilt the blaster forwards to remove any loose darts.
