You will need some basic common tools for assembly, and some glue if you choose to install the slide magnets (not necessary for functionality), see the assembly guide linked above. Silicone oil lubricant is included in the hardware kit.
IMPORTANT NOTE - PRINT IN BRIGHT COLOURS
Due to it's design this blaster must be printed in bright colours and with an orange tip to differentiate it from a real firearm if you will be taking it anywhere where it could be visible to the public.

Details
Configurations
The Zc Aus has 5 different configurations across different combinations of variants for the frame, handguard, and magazine parts. All configurations can be made with the same hardware kit. Print the parts for your chosen configuration.
Two short grip variants: without handguard and with handguard (handguard top only). These are compatible with 5 to 13 dart magazines. Note that only the 5 dart magazine will spring-eject with these configurations. 7 to 13 dart magazines will catch and gravity drop but won’t spring eject.
Three full sized grip variants: without handguard, with handguard top only, and with full sized handguard. These are compatible with 7 to 13 dart magazines.
Both variants for the trigger (flat/curved) and trigger guard (trigger guard/trigger guard delete) parts are compatible with any configuration.
Additions and Changes
The Zc Aus is based on the Zc by Misplaced Moose, but it includes an optional handguard, revised no-compromise hardware including a CNC plunger core, a 12.7mm ID aluminium chamfered lead-in barrel, slide magnets, double O-rings on all seals, and more. Nearly all parts have been remodelled with modifications for performance, ease of assembly, and aesthetics. See the images for more details.
Print and Assembly
See the print and assembly guide for full printing details. Prusaslicer and Bambu Studio 3MF slicer files are also available with all print settings pre-set, just remove the parts you won't be using for your configuration. A dimensionally accurate printer is required for easy assembly and smooth functionality. Use slow (structural) printing profiles for strong and accurate parts.
Assembly is relatively straightforward. The print and assembly guide is detailed and includes troubleshooting steps for common issues. Unlike the original Zinc 2.0, excessive sanding/filing is not required to get parts to fit and function.
Note
Like the Zc, the Zc Aus is an unofficial descendant of the Zinc 2.0 blaster by 118 Design.
