So i've been wanting to design for a simple toy that i can give away to my nephews and nieces during our family holiday.. The toy has to be simple to 3d print and easy for the kids to assemble.. And that will entertain them for while.. And it needs to be 3d printed cheap since i have a lot of nieces and nephews..So i came out with the idea of a catapult that has to be assembled and all the parts will be laid out kinda flat and connected together like those gundam figurines that you have to assemble.. The assemble will be fairly simple following the instructions given..And you can pretty much catapult anything small.. but to keep it save for the children to play.. i'm gonna use the foam rubber nerf balls as boulder for the catapult.. <figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f7FVSOeHJo"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5f7FVSOeHJo" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure>

I have designed a pokeball themed pen holder/ desk tidy. This is designed and printed in seperate colours for easy prints. The red and white part slide into place and require no glue. The only glue required is for the button.&nbsp;This could also be sized up to use as a office bin. Please be aware glue is required if you scale the model up.

<h2>Summary</h2><a target="_blank" href="https://a360.co/3Tb3kdR" rel="nofollow noopener">Full 3D View</a>&nbsp;The Maserati 250F was a Formula One racing car that won several races in 1954 and 1956, and then won four World Championship Grand Prix in 1957, as well as 4 non-championship races.&nbsp;The blueprint I used for this car was really bad, so the model isn&#39;t very accurate. Also, I chose to use the standard Pinewood Derby wheelbase, which is quite a bit longer than the real car (which means that the front and rear of the car don&#39;t extend beyond the wheels as much as they should), so that it would qualify for races where the standard wheelbase is required. But I think it looks nice, anyway, so hopefully some people will like it.&nbsp;BONUS: The car is pictured with show wheels and tires, not legal for racing. Models are included (under Raw Model Files) for the show wheels and tires, in case you&#39;d like to use them. (The larger tires obviously are intended for the rear.)<h3>What is a &#34;pinewood derby car shell&#34;?</h3>A <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinewood_derby" rel="nofollow noopener">pinewood derby</a> is an event created by the Boy Scouts many years ago. Each scout is given a pinewood derby kit typically consisting of a block of wood with slots for axles, 4 wheels, and 4 nails to be used as axles. The scout (and his dad, usually) will then carve the block of wood into the shape of a car, paint it and apply stickers, install the wheels on the axles, and then race it at the &#34;derby&#34;, which involves a sloped track with a timekeeping apparatus.&nbsp;An official scout derby will usually require that the parts in the kit be used for cars entered in the derby. Other organizations (including workplaces) often hold derbies, too, and some of them require the use of the parts in the box, including the block of wood.&nbsp;These &#34;pinewood derby car shells&#34; are intended to be used with an official derby wood block, cut down to size, along with the axles and wheels included in the kit. A printable model of the shaped wood block is provided (under Raw Model Files). You can either use the printed model or use it to accurately cut an official wood block down to size.<h3>Printing</h3><ul><li>Body: Requires normal supports on the build plate only. This is a VERY light model, so you may need to use a very high (60%+) fill to bring the weight up high enough to hit 5 ounces, even with tungsten weights. (You can always add weights under the car to hit the 5 oz. limit.)</li><li>Mirrors and exhaust are pretty easy to print with normal supports.</li><li>The gas cap, windshield and steering wheel are easiest to print with brims.</li></ul><h3>Post-Printing</h3>Assemble the car using super glue. The seat and windshield are very difficult to get aligned, unfortunately, but I couldn&#39;t get the look I was after any other way.<h4>Smoothing</h4>You can find videos and guides online that describe the process, but here it is in a nutshell:<ul><li>Mix 1 part resin and 2-3 parts baby powder in an opaque container (so that it can be stored without hardening due to UV exposure).</li><li>Using a paintbrush or cotton swab, spread a thin layer of the resin/baby powder mix over the body, wherever you want to smooth print lines and gaps.</li><li>Use a UV flashlight (a cheap one--like the kind used to harden resin finger nail polish, which you can order from Amazon or buy in the pharmacy department of Walmart) to harden the resin.</li><li>Sand the body smooth until there are no thick layers left.</li><li>Repeat over any areas that are still rough.</li></ul><h3>Other Notes</h3>You can add tungsten weights to the hole in the rear of the body. If you plan well, and use enough infill, you can maximize the weights and end up right at 5 oz.

A wee Gingerbread House to sit on your desk or shelf, or loop a thread through the included holes in the roof to hang from a tree, or elsewhere! Designed to be printed with a pause-at-height colour swap! Though I'm sure you could just paint the details after printing with just one colour! EDIT: New V2 files for a tighter fit, a seamless folding roof! =================== Included is a Frameless variant for those uninterested in the sprue card format (refer to photos for assembly help). If the fit is too tight, I suggest setting outer walls to print first in your slicer. You can make it EVEN TIGHTER by increasing the Z-scale by 15%.Print at 0.2mm layer height, there really is no benefit from printing at a higher resolution and it could affect the fit. Makes greatly appreciated, always glad to see them! Happy Printing!===================<h3>Interested in selling?</h3>All files are marked as non-commercial along with any remixes created from them, however licenses are available via Ko-Fi and Printables Clubs!If you are interested in selling physical prints of my models anywhere, be it online or offline, you can obtain a sales license when subscribed to Tier 3 of my Ko-Fi memberships, or Printables Clubs!
