Description

Ping Pong Desk Launcher - A Fun Toy for Your Desk

If you're looking to add something fun to your desk, here is a little catapult that can launch anything up to the size of a ping pong ball using a fun mechanical lever. Maybe you want to take out some frustration and crumple up a ball of paper and shoot it in the trash can, or if you just need some mid-day amusement. You can print all of this in a single-plate build, or you could get creative and print the parts in different colors for more dynamic fun.

This is a great companion to the mini desk game for the filament purge contest below, which is a fun way to use your filament purges.

Great model! Printed in PLA. No real issue with the print other then one peg that got loose from the built plate with like 4 layers left. Easy enough to just reprint that in peg. Works awesome. mom was already targeted by the youngest and it did take long for them to dial in the distance. Thanks for posting.

currently printing it on A1 with PEI plate and the smallest parts (the four little thingies) didnt adhere well to the plate. Any advice ?

Hello, sorry about the issue. You may want to enable brims in the Bambu Studio if it’s not adhering well. It also helps to ensure your plate is clean, and I always print at 60c on the PEI plate instead of the recommended 55c.

Great design. It was easy to print and assemble and works well. It would be fun to have one that can throw a lot farther as well

Many thanks for your kind feedback! I hope to have a future version that can throw even further. I guess it kind of depends on how hard you press down, but I could see creating a slightly larger one or even using rubber bands. if you don’t mind, please give the print profile a review to let others know it printed well. Have a great day!
