Store Brand 37mm Launcher BETA
Overview
The Store Brand 37mm Launcher BETA represents a refined evolution of the popular Nameless Launcher design, featuring quality-of-life improvements and aesthetic enhancements that elevate the original concept. This open beta release from Middleton Made offers 3D printing enthusiasts access to a thoroughly tested launcher design that has already proven its reliability through hundreds of projectile tests.
Built upon the foundation of Danny Meatball's original Nameless Launcher, this remix incorporates practical modifications while maintaining the robust functionality that makes 37mm launchers a favorite among firearms enthusiasts and collectors.
Store Brand 37mm Launcher BETA Features
This beta release showcases significant improvements over the original design, with enhanced ergonomics and refined aesthetics that improve both form and function. The launcher has undergone extensive real-world testing with hundreds of projectiles fired through the system, demonstrating proven reliability and performance consistency.
Quality-of-life enhancements include improved component interfaces and streamlined assembly processes that reduce build complexity. The design maintains compatibility with standard 37mm projectiles while offering:
- Thoroughly tested design with extensive field validation
- Aesthetic improvements that enhance the overall appearance
- Enhanced ergonomics for improved handling and operation
- Simplified assembly through refined component design
- Open beta feedback integration for continuous improvement
Difficulty & Build Time
- Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced
- Estimated Build Time: 8-12 hours (printing and assembly)
- Required Experience: 3D printing experience with technical assemblies and familiarity with launcher mechanisms
Hardware and Tools Required
Required Hardware
The complete hardware list will be provided with the final release, though the current beta includes essential specifications for testing purposes. PLA+ or carbon fiber/glass fiber nylon filaments are specifically recommended for optimal strength and durability.
Standard hardware components typical of launcher assemblies will be required, with specific fasteners and mechanical components detailed in the included documentation.
Recommended Tools
- 3D printer capable of printing technical components
- Standard hand tools for assembly
- Finishing tools for post-processing
- Safety equipment for testing and operation
Store Brand 37mm Launcher BETA Parts
The STL files are optimized for PLA+ and CF/GF nylon printing, with specific print orientation guidance provided in the separate "SuggestedPrintOrientation" file. The design prioritizes printability while maintaining structural integrity under operational stresses.
Print orientation is critical for achieving optimal layer adhesion and strength characteristics, particularly for components that experience mechanical stress during operation. The included orientation guide ensures proper part strength and surface finish.
Printer Compatibility & Settings
This design is compatible with most FDM 3D printers capable of handling technical prints with precision requirements. PLA+ filament offers an excellent balance of printability and strength for most users, while carbon fiber or glass fiber reinforced nylon provides enhanced durability for high-use applications.
The design accommodates standard printer bed sizes and doesn't require specialized printing capabilities beyond normal FDM parameters. Proper bed adhesion and temperature control are essential for achieving optimal results with the recommended materials.
Conclusion
The Store Brand 37mm Launcher BETA delivers meaningful improvements over existing designs while maintaining the proven reliability that enthusiasts demand. With extensive testing validation and community feedback integration, this beta release offers early access to a refined launcher design that balances performance, aesthetics, and buildability. The final release will include complete STEP files and comprehensive documentation, making this beta an excellent opportunity to experience the enhanced design while contributing valuable feedback to the development process.
