<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.

The assembly should spin smoothly with the output shaft making 48 rotations for every one turn of the input knob.

Toroidal Launcher - High RPM Planetary Gearbox

Hiro Koiso Racing

This model is designed to fit X1 and P1 series printers. HKR poop chute features interlocking leg to secure the chute to the printer body without extra hardware or magnets. ※Fitment Note: If you got X1, X1C and P1P in Feb 2023 and earlier (most likely built in 2022) , Your printer might have shorter legs than current version.  This can cause a printer to not sit level with the chute installed. How to tell if you have a early style short leg printer<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000218121/design/2024-03-05_177ad051bd84f.jpg"><figcaption>Print The chute and see if the round part of base can slid under the printer as pictured.

HKR Interlocking Poop chute with removable bucket

I needed something that was quick and easy to print to organize my workshop. So I whipped these up and they work great. They hold a moderate amount of weight and pictured they are printed in PLA. Recently created a 120mm x 120mm x 100mm box that work with these hooks. <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/42370#profileId-43163" rel="nofollow noopener">Hanging Storage Box</a>
