I made a prototype board with a petentiometer and four buttons with a pico w with a rp 2040. I wanted to use it to see if I could even pull off the idea, I also made a case.

Here I added a page for notes with links to what I am buying.
Here I 100% redid my whole pcb design because some people said it was messy, also I made some gerber files for it and uploaded it to JLCPCB to get a quote.
Adding cases for both the motor and a gear shaft
Adding supports for the firing mechanism.
I found out that half length darts go slower and have less inertia compared to full length ones.
Making covers for the electronics in the bottom.
Here I added 2 N10 motors to my malenki nano
Here I made a space for the laptop to sit on, 2 gears to change the angles and an extender for the motor, I am a bit worried about getting the perfect angle though.
I added a dust cover and a new, larger, upgraded fan but my laptop lagged out and the dust cover got deleted.
Making a fan and a motor from measurements I made.
Here I disassembled the fan to get it into parts to get measurements that I can design around.
I made benchmarks pre-cooling pad so that I can compare them to when I make the cooling pad to see if it was worth it.
Here I added quite a few extra parts, I changed the motor size, changed the flywheels and barrel to match. Then I changed the battery case to be removable, I then made screws so that they could be hidden by the bolts on the top.
I added a slit into the gun and made a small decoration, at the start I was making some text but I really didn’t like how it was looking.
Adding a handle and a bunch more details to round out the model more. I cut off the edges and added small bolts and other stuff. Next I’m going to make a safety and access to the barrel.
Here I added a super boxy main body so that I can just get the proportions right before I add details for my final design.
I added a bunch of final stuff and sorted out areas for them: a battery holder. for the battery; a magazine area, for the magazine; a switch holder, for a new switch and a small cosmetic outline for thinking about the shape and proportion.
I added a magazine release system and the start of a case for the motor housing.
Adding to the trigger mechanism while on chromebook :(. I was just adjusting how far the trigger can go but I didn’t have my laptop near me so I had to go on chromebook.
