Description

Say hello to the Desktop Defender, the newest must-have in office artillery!

Whether you're aiming at the recycling bin for a quick eco-challenge or engaging in friendly cubicle combat, the Desktop Defender is your trusty ally. Its user-friendly design allows for easy setup and operation: just clamp it onto your desk edge, load up a harmless paper projectile, and let it fly

This design is heavily inspired by one of ForgeCore's awesome designs.

easy 2:15h Print time

No Suppports

No extra Hardware - everything is printed!

Clamps onto objects 0-50mm thick

Assembly

I wanted to leave enough clearance for every printer. If the sling sitzs too loose, just add a drop of super glue.

Bed Adhesion Issue

@misenique

sounds like a dirty buildplate.

Replying to @misenique :

that could be true but my entire right side of my print bed nothing has been sticking to it I don’t know what’s happening, I’m new to using Bambu lab printers I have the p1s

@misenique

Replying to @user_1213241328 :

Good first step to blame the print profile of my model.

Kids liked it, but printed with Pla iit broke really fast

The designer has replied

@misenique

Glad your kids liked it. What type of PLA did you use? I tried once a matte PLA and it wasn't strong enough. Normal PLA should work, but I plan to make a new version of it to minimize stress on the individual edges.

@user_3260459395

Replying to @misenique :

The teacher didnt like it as much as the kids 😅. I used normal pla. It broke 2 times after some minutes of usage in the curvy part that is stressed when bending back. Maybe using tpu wpuld work better.

Pretty sturdy clamp

The designer has replied

@misenique

Thats true :)

@user_871029714

can it shoot backwards if you load it backwards?

The designer has replied

@misenique

you mean putting on the sling unit backward? edges wouldn’t line up perfectly, but yea, should work.

Lots of fun to use, wife has headshotted 2 co-workers at this point! Had two failures, but they were adhesion issues on my end, so no fault of the file. Can't give it 5 stars though, bottom joint seems to fail pretty quickly, still usable, just cracking.
