To adjust the laser, you can tighten or loosen the screws that hold the laser device in place on the mount. More specific instructions for adjusting the laser can be found on the project page.

The design even includes a handle to make reloading easier. According to the project description, even the designer’s 3-year-old can reload the gun with this upgrade!
The upgrade works using a few 3D printed components and three hex-head bolts (with Nylock).

Accessories
From dart blasters to targets, there are plenty of accessories that can make your Nerf sessions more fun. Whether you’re playing games or practicing your aiming skills, these prints will come in handy.
Nerf Rival Ammo
There are a few types of ammunition across Nerf’s different series of guns, such as the traditional Nerf darts, whistler darts, and the Nerf Mega darts. Another type of ammo is small textured foam balls used for the guns in Nerf’s Rival series. This design is a miniature replica of a golf ball, scaled to be the same size as the Nerf Rival balls. Above, you can see the 3D printed ammo on the left.
As you might expect, shooting these plastic 3D printed balls can hurt a lot. For this reason, the designer recommends printing the balls in a flexible material like TPE to make the bullets softer and wearing goggles. To avoid injury, you may want to stick to only shooting these 3D printed balls at targets.
While the designer didn’t provide any printing advice, one maker posted a great print of the Rival ammunition and listed a few of the print settings they used. These settings include a 10% infill (cubic pattern) with supports activated but no raft.

Pointed Tip
This custom Nerf attachment turns typical darts into missile darts. Be careful though, these are not meant for aiming at people. Here at All3DP, we don’t advocate taking out your friends’ eyes. Instead, use these darts for target practice. Or better yet, erect a dartboard these could stick into and play darts with Nerf guns!
- Who designed it? funerall

Nerf Dart Launcher for the FPV Rover
This FPV tank will dominate the battlefield with ease. With a turret system and integrated camera, it will be an extremely powerful and valuable ally during your games. The parts are all made of PLA, which has shown good results so far. The creator is on the fifth version of this project and has already made it clear that it will not be the last.
Many parts are required for the assembly of this project. You can find the complete BOM list on Instructables, but remember that there are two different links, as the project is separated into two parts (Rover and Launcher). The mats make it easy for the vehicle to navigate different terrains. You can also check it out in action in this video.
- Who designed it? Markus_p
- How printable/popular is it? Only one person has shown off their make on Printables, but this model already has over 5,000 downloads, almost 50,000 views, 125 likes, and 1 remix across all of the sites.

Nerf Stryfe
This electrical system promises to increase the pressure of your shot to more than 200 FPS, making weapons more powerful. It’s a compact system that you can adapt in different ways. Keep in mind that this project requires specific brushless motors.
There is a whole breakdown of engines on the model page that will come in handy during assembly. After all, it’s not simple to build a blaster. Adaptations can require a certain amount of patience, but the comments are active and answered frequently. The project might be a little challenging, but it will breathe new life into your blaster.

Circuit Playground Nerf Target
Whether you want to do a little test with your blaster or just have a training session, this responsive target is really cool. It features lights, sound, and visual counters that make practice more interesting. The score marker is optional, but it’s definitely worth the extra effort.
This system uses an Adafruit Circuit Playground Bluefruit board with a micro switch. The sensor is adjusted behind the target. When properly adjusted, any touch on the target will activate the sensor. There are three different game modes developed in this project, including versions for one player, two players, and puzzle mode. You can check out all the details about this project on Instructables, including a video demonstrating how it works.

Spring-Loaded Target
What’s a Nerf gun without an objective? This project is a spring-loaded target, great for practicing your aim and competing against a friend. There are two parts needed for this assembly, including a grid piece with a print-in-place hinge and a 3D printed spring to push the target.
To prevent the target from flying across the room when hit, the designer added mounting screw holes to the grid model. It’s recommended that you mount the grid piece to a solid and weighted object, as seen in the image above.
As this print will (hopefully) be hit a lot, the designer lists that they used a minimum of a 20% infill density to print the pieces. It’s also worth noting that this design is support-free.

Print-in-place Target Spinners
Whether you’re a high-flying shooter or a battalion commander, training targets are essential if you want to excel in the field. These targets are a favorite for several reasons. First, they are print-in-place and do not require any supports. The models are also well-balanced and different versions are available, including a hanging target. You can make each track a different color to make your target practice more interesting.
An important thing to note is that these targets were designed for Nerf and low-velocity weapons. If you print them in PLA, which is naturally more brittle than materials like PETG and ABS, they may be more susceptible to damage and wear.
- Who designed it? Zippitybamba
- How printable/popular is it? With 25 makes, 1 remix, and over 39,800 downloads, these targets are the perfect accessory.
