There is a new SidePod in town - take a look here for the latest!

-----------------------------------------

Here it is. SidePod! 

A Slide Prime, Mag-in-Grip, Springer Nerf Blaster. 

I have taken it to a point where it would be great to get some input from others so I will release this as a Beta. I think it is pretty good and I have tweaked every part a number of times. Time to set it free and see what people think (and how it can be improved). 

All parts are on as STL. The full assembly (all the bits) is here as a STP. 

Assembly instructions and Print Notes on here as a PDF. Like the rest of it, there might need to be changes if the instructions are not clear. Bill of Materials is both in the PDF and Excel spreadsheet along with some print notes. Hopefully links work and get you to the parts I used. 

SidePod uses Angled Talons. I have an action item of making one for Nightengale mags, which I think is possible. I have no current plans for a straight Talon version.

For Springs, at this point, I have only used K24's and Lynx K24 with Spacer (file provided). Happy to hear how other work for folks. 

Thanks to everyone on the reddit forum r/nerfhomemades for the encouragement - shout out to Sillybutts (u/SillyTheGamer) for making great blasters and making me want to try to make my own. Also Orion Blasters for making the Lynx (https://orionblasters.com/) which is an excellent build and the first 3D printed blaster I made.
