I have made tens of models for them.&nbsp;Since the blades are easy to drop and relatively weak, and in addition, the original model is a glued up model, It is easily got broken and each time I have make a whole new one for them, much of waste.&nbsp;So I decided to make my own one to address the issues, by introducing a rubber ring tensioned blade lock and disassemble structure for exchanging the blades.&nbsp;Also, considering the rubber ring might break in the future, I added an anchor structure that make the rubber ring could be exchanged from outside.&nbsp;To drag the rubber ring easily, a puller tool is also included into the 3mf file.&nbsp;The assembly guide is listed in the thumbnails and not very hard to assemble.&nbsp;Have fun!------------------Updated on 2023/11/03&nbsp;The folding diameter of the rubber ring is 60mm, please check out the thumbnail for reference.&nbsp;As the holes in Handle and connector are built w/o support, the diameter of the hole is not as perfect as other surfaces. This could cause the filament being hard to insert. I recommend to use a Hex Key T1.5 to clean the hole, then it will be much easier.

<h2>Toroidal Launcher</h2>This is an original design created for the <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/contests/5" rel="nofollow noopener">Flying Objects design contest</a> and features a handheld three-stage planetary gearbox that launches a toroidal ring over 3000 RPM! The design is 100% 3D printed; all pieces press fit together and no additional hardware is required.<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000093385/design/2023-12-15_92eaaa9691a14.gif"></figure><boostme><boosttitle>Boost Me</boosttitle><boostcontent>If you&#39;re interested in seeing more designs like this please consider boosting to support development of future projects.

Align both planet carriers and hold them with one hand while holding the double ring gear in the other hand and slowly turning as you close the gear; once closed insert the assembly into the main housing to hold secure. The gears should spin freely; if they don&#39;t remove the gear assembly and repeat this step.</li></ul><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000093385/design/2023-12-31_f1371c6d57ee6.gif"></figure><ul><li>Use the longer hex drive to connect the last set of gears and then assemble with the threaded cap as shown below.</li></ul><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000093385/design/2023-12-31_4926c45fbbf51.gif"></figure><ul><li>Carefully mesh the single ring gear with the planet gears taking note of the 2mm flat section that is positioned towards the main gear assembly as shown below.

The assembly should spin smoothly with the output shaft making 48 rotations for every one turn of the input knob. Performance depends on printer tolerances and filament used; for best results use the include print profiles with Bambu Studio (supports many different printers). A bit of lubricant can also be added to the gears to improve performance.</li></ul><h2>Toroidal Ring Assembly</h2><ul><li>Insert the hex drive into the interlocking driver; the clearance is tight but it should be a snug fit.</li><li>Insert the assembled driver into the output sun gear, the fit should be the same.</li><li>If the driver does not stay secured when launching the ring a small amount of CA glue can be use.</li></ul><h2>Changes</h2><ul><li>v1<ul><li>Initial release; files now available in v1old folder</li></ul></li><li>v1.1<ul><li>Updated print profiles with improved settings for gears and rings</li><li>Improved single color print profile, fits on A1 mini and objects are laid out to allow skipping</li><li>Improved clearance of gears and overall meshing</li><li>Updated toroidal ring to use the same launcher as the mini rings<ul><li>Print profile includes 3 sizes (100mm, 125mm, 150mm)</li></ul></li><li>Updated assembly instructions to have fewer steps with a GIF for each one</li></ul></li><li>v1.1.01<ul><li>Added new section for template designs intended for remixing</li></ul></li></ul>
