So! The preamble:Â
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 some crafting foam 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.
The details:
We have now finally reached a technology level, gotten here step by step, where I can feed these Micro reshells from a talon magazine! The magazine nicely doubles as a foregrip for this, too. Good slab-aesthetic as well. Very chunky, yet sleek.
As secondary feature this blaster too comes with a double-action trigger; meaning you prime and fire the blaster with the same two-finger pull. This felt like the right place for that kind of tech.
This whole system works best with darts where the head is smaller than the body. Other darts tend to have so-so results, from what I hear from my beta testers. Do let me know your own results!

Printing
All parts can be printed on a bed of 180mm edge length, if I didn’t mess this up. Some supports will be required, but everything should already be in its proper orientation. I tend to print with 4 walls and 10% cubic infill. The alternate plunger might need more, depending on your filament brittleness.
