This is a shell for the X-Shot Micro 2.0, the newest tiny blaster variant from X-Shot/Zuru. All the hardware you need is already provided by this Micro, too. (Well, except for a few common household rubberbands and possibly some crafting foam or a mega dart for the seal.) You just need to print the parts in the colors of your chosing and you’re good to go to take a screwdriver to the blaster.
This is basically an upgrade from the previous revolver type reshell. It comes with a 10-chamber cylinder. Each chamber can hold 2 half darts as an inline clip, giving you a total of 20 shots. You can also put 10 full-length darts in there, if you want. They’re compatible!
No flicking is necessary to chamber the darts, thanks to Corvus. He made that design possible~
And of course this blaster comes with a double-action trigger as well. I’m not done building designs around that! So you prime and fire the blaster with the same two-finger pull. It’s a bit of a workout in the long run.
I have also covered the thing in picatinny-compatible rails top and bottom, so you can attach your favourite foregrip and scope combo. On top of that the blaster comes with an n-strike compatible backend, as well as a stock to go with it.

Changelog:
v1.0 – Initial Release
v1.1 – Changed the Barrel Insert Crafting Foam file to decrease the movement of the floating seal by 1 mm. That should ensure that the catch always …well, catches.

Loved building this blaster, and the finished product is a lot of fun to use too. It takes a surprising amount of grip strength to fire, but that’s to be expected considering the trigger pull primes and fires the blaster all in one motion.
Had some very minor issues with my first few shots, but they quickly resolved themselves as the lubrication applied according to the directions worked its magic over the next few shots.
