Looks wicked MJF, any chance I can use this file?
Are you planning on designing any more replacement parts?Knock yourself out; I intended it for everyone to use.

Just realizing this now that the model is hosted in the post, whoops! Thank you!Knock yourself out; I intended it for everyone to use.
These are cropped from photos I found on the 'Net that are allegedly screen-used props:The only thing I think stands out for me is the nozzle. I guess it depends on which version of the real prop you use but isn't there a little transition slope or bulge at the source of the nozzle?

As you can see, the transitions between the "hex nut" section and the "barrel" section are indeed different. Also, it seems the prop on the left is completely resin, while the one on the right appears to show base metal peeking through where the paint has rubbed off (or was sanded off). So there are indeed some slight variations between some of the props. And no, I don't remember if it was stated that these specific props were from the movie productions, or The Mandalorian, or wherever, so sorry 'bout 'dat.
Thank you for sharing!!And on that note, matching the screen-used a bit better, I've made some adjustments for v002.
I can make a version with the smooth "blended" step on the nozzle if there's interest.
- Evened out the emitter "steps" and lengthened the nozzle.
- Thickened the nozzle walls.
- Increased the diameter of the upper rail extension by 4%
- Addressed Mara Jade's Father 's note about the interior surface slope.
- Addressed Mara Jade's Father 's note about the side alignment tab.

Everything fits great. I don’t have any suggestions except that you should definitely do more parts.
I printed this one at the highest quality with concentric circle pattern. As opposed to standard in a line pattern as before.
I still printed with supports because I forgot about the extended round section on the side, but with the dome section inside, The support size was much smaller and it fell right out when I pulled the nozzle from the bed.
Great job.
The "nut" they used doesn't have the beveled edges on the flat surfaces; it was basically a flat hexagon:Looking at this image, I think I made the nut too thick. Will double check my measurements tonight.

If you eliminate those at the width where the sides of the hexagon meet, that should do it.
Oh. Yeah, that is a bit different....I'm talking about in comparison with the original NERF part. I'm copying the NERF profile, not the screen-used one because I think the screen-used shape looks bad.
Standby. Will have something later tonight.Yup, I mismeasured the thickness by about a mm. Corrected.
for those upgrading the transistor, are you grinding the factory one off?
