tracked dart for use with tracked crossbows

3d printed tracked darts for use with the pistol crossbow and others.

There are several .STL files used for various darts.

“tracked_dart_medium_modifier.stl” – This is the modifier which must be used if you want the dart to be weighted properly and fly straight. Set modifier infill to 60%.

“tracked_dart_medium.stl” – Single piece medium size tracked dart.

“tracked_dart_multi_medium_v2.stl” – Multi piece medium size tracked dart (main body).

“tracked_dart_multi_top_short_v2.stl” – Multi piece small or medium size tracked dart (top).

PLA is recommended, I haven’t tried using anything else

Layer Height: 0.1mm or better

Infill: 0%

Perimeters: 2

Solid Layers: 6 top, 4 bottom.

Use thin walls

Set the infill angle so that the print lines on the top and bottom layer run lengthwise. This will keep the resistance low as the dart slides down the track.

Modifier Infill: 60%

This post has some details on how to set up Cura for infill modifiers.
