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.

So why should 3d printed toys be any different?

In order for this niche industry to grow it needs to become more accessible and captivating to the new generation.

The first released project, the Hammerhead Modular Blaster Platform, is an entirely new type of blaster never seen before.

By effectively compartmentalizing the components and their functions, the core power 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? I'm too tired to do the math...)I aimed to minimize the use of complex machining in the Hammerhead design. Instead, choosing to rely on premium McMaster-Carr components. 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!

The platform can launch half-length darts at an incredible 200 feet per second velocity 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 (and now self-correcting) "Pinocchio" catch mechanism.

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 rainbow catch mechanism.
