It's from https://foamknight.com/ and only has a handful of non-printed parts. Nice things about this one over others that it is based on:

- It has a non-embarrassing design to it.
- It's much easier to assemble.
- It supports all 3 major types of NERF ammunition and makes it easy to switch between them without having to take the whole gun apart.
- Similarly changing out the main spring is a simple affair which makes it a much easier task of finding the right spring for your needs. It's actually simple enough (loose the blue knob on the end, pull out the stock, and then remove the twist lock spring door) that you could do it in the field to adjust for needs on the fly.

* I say "toy", but this is actually meant for adults in competitive games. The stock spring that comes with the kit is supposed to fire around 220fps. The weakest off the shelf spring I could find (without starting my own experimentation) is still in the 100fps array.

After 2 months of near non-stop printing and 8kg of filament (that's ~$160 in materials), I bring you a Legendary set of boxes full of parts!

Now I have an inordinate amount of sanding, putty, more sanding, more putty, more sanding, and painting to do....

I may object to some of their business practices and what they think of themselves in certain markets, but they do know how to build a damn reliable printer!
