Stryfe Flex Flywheel Cage - With Tabs - V2 (and Lid)

UPDATE: 7 Oct 2018

V2 Now available!

Printed this at 0.3 (damn, that's rough) for a test fit, the tabs DO work, however, on the side where the motor section attaches to the rest of the cage it's a bit of a tight squeeze to get the rubber retainer in there.

I've quickly revisited the model and raised 2 of the clips by 1mm - this should allow the rubber retaining band to more easily attach.

Also - mini update! Yeah. The Lid I referenced has had a tiny tweak and is included here too. I printed everything and popped the lid on the cage - the darts run sweet as a nut, but there's a tiny clearance issue and the flywheels rub now - this creates MORE noise than standard.

I remixed the lid to give a 0.5mm lift at the mount point, this should alleviate the current issue I have.

Stay tuned.

This is a remix of the BlasterforgePH Stryfe Flex Flywheel Cage - with an extra added bonus.

I printed the original and found my standard motors just fell out, even if I could get them to grab by friction, they wouldn't stay located right into the hole at the top and sat at 'a bit of a squiff'!

On the standard cage there are tabs either side of the motor which allows you to attach the included rubber retainers, these keep the motors snugged in rather nicely. I decided that this was a good idea and added them to the original model.

NOTE: The original cage IS NOT MY DESIGN (and technically, the little retaining tabs are kinda borrowed from Hasbro . . . . . . ). Less said about that bit the better! :D

Licence respects the original.

So, here you are, if this is the cage you're after then great, if not then - well, great again; thanks for stopping by.

Included in the 'remix' section is something you should also add if you're using an open cage like this:-

This provides a bit of a cover for the cage, stopping errant darts squeezing out and jamming - obviously at the worse possible time.

Have fun and happy modding.
