This print needs to be sturdy and I suggest the no less the a 30% infill (the higher the better). You will also want the wall thickness between 1-1.5mm thickness.
Once printed you need to do a little sanding to make the parts move smoothly together. Follow these steps once done sanding.
take the firing catcher (square piece with hole in middle and insert it from the top with the two holes on the bottom going in first.
Take rubber band and loop trough holes then stretch it to the notch on the bottom. This will act as a spring for the pin catch.
Next you will need the trigger and trigger pin. you will insert the trigger with the longer thinner piece going inside the handle under the pin catch. line up the trigger hole with the handle holes and push the pin through. This will be a tight fit so it is best to have sanded the pin smooth before doing this step. You still want the pin to be hard to insert but not so hard you have to use a tool to do so.
On the front of the body there are two holes that feeds all the way to the back of the gun. take some high strength rubber bands and feed them through and tie them on the circle piece of the firing pin. Then insert the firing pin while pulling the trigger to allow it to slide in.
Take the nerf nozzle and insert it on the front of the body where it covers the firing hole.
The last part is simple enough. you will take your 250ml can and drill a hole big enough for your barrel to fit through. on the other end cut off the top of the can at the very top. Slice a notch in the can for the trigger and handle to fit. Pull the can over the gun and you now have a removable and customizable cover for your Red Bolt Gun.
