Alchemist uses ball bearings on the priming grip, and the prime is VERY smooth.
There is an (optional) ball detent that locks the priming grip in the forward position, so it doesn't flop around while running. Flopping is an issue experienced by most pump action springers (Talon Claw, SBL, Lynx, etc etc).
One pin and one allen key screw to access the spring, plunger, and ram.
The blaster is built on aluminum bars, like a Lynx. Very sturdy.
It also has a bar tensioner, which squeezes all the parts together like a Caliburnoid. Best of both worlds.
Hair trigger, very quick and snappy.
The barrel can be removed and replaced in 10 seconds, toolless.
If you don't care about doing barrel swaps fast, there's also an optional set screw that goes directly into the barrel, for a more permanent attachment.
Very smooth magwell with plenty of flare for quick reloading.
Several different stock options:
Compatible with the SBL/Worker adjustable stock.
Skeggox stock (adapted from Vikinger) - this is what is pictured in the post.
N-Strike lug.
Fixed, non adjustable printed stock, with different buttplate length options
Or no stock, if you don't want one lol.
A bunch of different aesthetic and ergonomic options for the shroud, grip, plunger tube area, and magwell.
A SLAB style plunger fits wider Lynx springs, and all TC springs. Lots of options.
The blaster has a 95mm prime, which is slightly shorter than a SBL, and a good bit shorter than a TC. That allows faster priming.
Built in spring guide as the plunger rod.
It uses a Skewer plunger tube, so it can use metal Skewer plunger tube upgrades.
It also uses TC ramrods, so you can use fancy anodized ones.
The rambase is improved over a TC rambase; it has more screws to grab onto the ram.
Very easy printing, with minimal supports.
The picatinny rail on top has a big iron sight gutter down the middle, so you can easily aim even without any picatinny irons or a proper sight.
And more I can't remember at the time of writing. Its a good blaster, build one.
Standard ported front shroud, or "swiss cheesed" front shroud.
Four grip styles:
Standard grip, with and without the bottom "shoe" portion.
Lynx-derived grip, with and without the bottom "shoe" portion.
Four stock styles:
Skeggox adjustable stock (originally designed by Vikinger, and ported to Alchemist by Chance).
Worker/SBL1.0 Adjustable stock (thanks GavinFuzzy for help with this part).
Fixed non-adjustable stock with buttpads of varying height.
N-Strike Stock Lug.
Optional front priming grip.
Magwell panels with or without viewing slots.
Picatinny rail or smooth-topped.
Different mag releases
etc
Performance:
If you are buying a kit from a licensed seller, they should have estimate FPS numbers for the kit they are selling. Please reference those first and foremost.
As testing is done, I will update this part of the page with common spring/barrel combos for specific FPS numbers.
Keep in mind that SCARs usually reduce performance a bit.
Broadly speaking, expect a reliable and consistent FPS range of 120fps to 260fps, depending on spring and barrel combo.
Alchemist is compatible with Talon Claw length springs, as well as larger Lynx and Nerf Longshot springs.
Expect Alchemist to hit ~20 FPS lower than a TCT4 with an equivalent barrel and spring. Alchemist traded a shorter prime length for a smoother prime, which means there's less air volume to work with.
Print Info
All STLs are exported in their correct print orientations.
The "Body Aluminum Bars" are custom for this blaster. Here is a diagram of the bars if you plan to make your own. There is a printable cutting/drilling jig in the Tools folder of the Alchemist fileset.
If you build any of my designs, I'd love to see yours! Feel free to message me on Discord (Sillybutts#5905) or tag me on a post on Reddit (u/SillyTheGamer).
The flask on the Alchemist logo is based off of clipart credited to “Алексей Белозерский”.
Thanks to ThePixelatedCat for doing the blaster mechanical animation via commission.
