Why not add notches to hold it from both sides? This would also reduce the risk of breaking off the pins on the back outside plate. Why not use screws instead? - Back plate top It has notches to hold the firing pin from one side. Why not make them slightly conical? - 8 big pins attaching the the firing block to the back outside plate: These pins lose grip over time and fly away while shooting. Pins on the back outside plate: Placing the firing block on the 8 pins on the back outside plate is quite a pain. Here are some articles that have been written about the Arcus:įill density: 25% (unless otherwise stated on the part name)Īwesome gun! Very impressive! Much fun! Thanks for all your work! Anyhow, I would like to suggest some improvements. This assembly is designed to work with #64 Rubber Bands with six Rubber Bands loaded onto each firing block. All of the parts are designed to be printed without any supports, and all the parts will fit on a print bed of 200mm X 200mm. The only other thing used in the assembly besides the printed parts is rubber bands.
A cam system is used so that when you pull the trigger the barrels will start the rotation.Īll of the parts are designed to snap together, no screws or glue will be required, because of this it can be taken apart and reassembled as many times as you want. The Arcus also features the arm mount system, meaning that to hold it you put your arm through the center and the barrels will spin around your arm. Unlike almost all of the other rubber band Gatling guns out there The Arcus uses the energy from the rubber bands that it is shooting to spin the barrels. The Arcus is a fully 3D printable rubber band Gatling gun that is capable of delivering 48 rubber bands downrange in mere seconds. Winner of the Instructables 2016 3D Printing contest!
