DEPRECATED, BUILD JPHAGE INSTEAD. V2 COMING SOON

Introducing the Nucleus, my take on a pistol size format CQB competition blaster. This blaster shares the same cage and BCAR setup as the Voidrunner, but uses the aesthetics and 4:1 geared trigger from the Protean. The battery is stored in the grip, and construction and wiring is very simple. Key components and features are as follows:

  • 32.5mm Motor Spacing, with support for Roboman Automation's Machined Flycore Cage
  • Hurricane, Pulsar, Banshee Junior, Or Turbo Ranger Mini Flywheels
  • 4:1 Geared Trigger for rapid response time
  • Support for Talon and Koda spec mags
  • Easy FPS Adjustment with toolless BCAR swaps
  • Easy toolless battery removal

Things You'll Need:

  • 6mm, 8mm, 14mm, 16mm, & 25mm M3 Screws
  • Omron 21A Microswitch (Button Or Lever)
  • Trigger & Mag Release Springs
  • Wire/Heatshrink
  • Female XT60 Or XT30 Connector
  • Heat Set Inserts (Files for BOTH McMaster (M3x6.4mm) and Voron (M3x4mm) Included)
  • Up To 12 MF63ZZ Bearings For BCAR
  • Up To 1000mah 2S Or 3S LiPo Battery (Approx ~65x40x35mm Compartment)
  • Motors/Motor Mount Screws (I recommend Fang ReVampeds)
  • Flywheels (I recommend Turbo Ranger Minis)
  • OPTIONAL Roboman Automation Machined Flycore Cage

CHANGELOG:

12/15/24 (V1.1)

  • Added more Mag Release styles 
  • Added more Trigger styles 
  • Added relief cuts in Grip Wrap to prevent part breakage upon installation 
  • Added Split Rail option for smaller print beds 
  • Edited Grip Frame and Grip Heel to remove nuisance screw/allow for toolless battery removal with thumbscrew

3/31/25 (V1.2)

  • Fixed Magwell and Receiver Cover to prevent wheel rub on cage causing wheel walking
  • Changed Pusher Cover and Geared Pusher to accommodate Gryphon pusher profile
  • Changed Mag Release to match Gryphon mag release position
  • Changed Grip Frame to constrain pusher more (not a necessary reprint for existing builds)

6/5/25 (V1.21)

  • HOTFIX, Fixed incorrect Receiver Cover geometry that was causing mags to not catch.

7/20/25 (V1.3)

  • Improved Grip Frame & Grip Wrap interface with Grip Wrap
  • Adjusted Trigger Cover & Grip Frame to give more room for wires
  • Adjusted Receiver Cover, Pusher Cover, & Split Rail to allow for slightly easier dissasembly
  • Added “Hydrus” Front End parts to allow use of Manshee/Quickdraw combination to allow for 200FPS setups in this blaster
