Thanks, it’s ok I have a few ideas, if I can’t find a cap I’ll use a washer and cable tie for the knurlingSomething from my parts bin. I'm not sure where it came from... Sorry!

Anyone have any recommendations on where to buy the transistor?
Call me ignorant but is there a special model number I need?Ebay. Tons of them. Cheap.

It’s a 2N3055 Transistor they all look very similar and are not expensive
You’ll want a transistor in a TO-3 package - there are a ton of different manufacturers and part numbers that would work as the case size/shape is standardized with very mild variations in small details.Call me ignorant but is there a special model number I need?
Looks great, no 3d printer here either, so I ordered some aluminium stock to try and turn down on my drill with a file.Taking inspiration (and by "inspiration, I mean "direct copy") from Reel Fakes 's nozzle, I modeled up an all-in-one replacement for 3D printing.
Note: I have not tested this yet. I don't own a 3D printer so it may be some time before I can. However, anyone who wants to try it out, be my guest. I'd love to get some feedback. Also, it may have exported a funky size since I'm using poly modeling software and not CAD; it should be 49.9 mm along the long axis.

Okay, so the extension of the top rail is a little small. Any noticable fit/sizing issues in hand? Is it loose or tight where it fits into the blaster?
But it will twist around. You will notice that on one side of the ringer piece, there is a little tab that helps lock the nozzle into position. Not a big deal as this will probably end up getting glued into place.
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?
