Integrated flights/shaft, medium length, slim style flights.
I wanted to see just how well dart flights printed at home could work. I tried other models and printed in a variety of materials. PLA and PETG broke immediately, however TPU printed very well and doesn't break. The problem I am running into now is that the shaft & fins aren't rigid enough to allow the dart to fly well. I will be experimenting with some stiffer yet flexible filament to see if I get better results. I have also thought about modeling in a hole in the center of the shaft to insert a small diameter piece of spring steel rod. For now, enjoy. I will update this with results from my additional testing.
