SOME SAY ITS NERF OR NOTHING... WE SAY ZERO WORX BETTER!
ZEROWORX is my vision for the future of the 3d printing toys.
The beauty of 3d printing is the accessible & limitless creative potential it offers.
THREE YEARS IN THE MAKING
After years of printing, development and beta testing, the Hammerhead Modular Blaster Platform has achieved a level of modularity never seen before in this niche.
THE SYSTEM
By effectively compartmentalizing the components and their functions, the core spring powered plunger module is fully independent from the rest of the priming and receiver configurations. This allows an unprecedented flexibility in configurations - probably more than 1,000??
THE PERFORMANCE
The platform can launch half-length darts up to 200 feet per second (70 FPS is the avg for NERF) on a short 2.5 inch priming length.
All friction is reduced to a minimum thanks to a priming slide that runs can run on anywhere from 2-13 bearings of stabilization. There is also the novel, full-metal, fully stabilized "Pinocchio" catch mechanism.
THE HARDWARE
The design relies on premium McMaster-Carr components instead of complex custom machined parts. This means that the blaster is very easy to assemble! Not to mention all of the 3d printed files comes pre-oriented and require ZERO support.
If that wasn't cool enough for you, I also want to introduce a never before seen catch friction-dampening mechanism that exclusively works with the Pinocchio system, the Magnetic-Pump. This attachment drastically reduces trigger pull weight down to almost zero, by utilizing a 60lb strength magnet to alleviate normal forces on the catch mechanism.
