i printed it in 210% too ... it is litteraly terrifying!!!! .. take my boost!!!

@floridaboy941

what about 500%? lol that would be sketchy

@floridaboy941

I have another primer with a giant 400x400 bed. I might have to scale it up to the size of the bed and see what it’s like lol

Replying to @floridaboy941 :

ITs sketchy at 210% .. 500% would be dangerous if not operated propperly. There are 2 items that need to fit on the bed .. the leaf springs and the "spoon" im not sure what percentage is the max to make it 400x400

I made it at 210%….first shot I destroyed a glass picture on a wall in my bosses office. Came crashing down and shattered. Absolutely hilarious 😂😂.

How did you print the springs? Mine snap all the time, I even made then solid (printed in Bambu PLA)

This thing is unreal. Glow in the dark and launching glowing balls across the room is awesome!!!

genius should do orange glow balls like flames🤣

@ricotiko

Works amazingly, great design. Do you think the springs would be better printed in PLA or PETG?

The designer has replied

@uhltimate

Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad you like the design. As for the springs, PLA might be the better choice if you’re looking for more stiffness and strength.

This thing shoots too high and far. Certainly not a office battle catapult. But great fun for some outdoor battles. Thank you for this share.

The pins were slightly larger than the holes, I had to force them in with pliers to get them in. But hey, it works great. I also posted a reel on my Instagram page promoting the model

@carson1111

Great model! Similar to the rest of your models that I have printed, you can tell that you took your time to ensure every detail on this model works great. I had to throw a little Star Wars into this, so I made some Star Wars themed rocks to launch. I put them in a print profile just in case anyone wants to print them.

@uhltimate

Thanks so much! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the model and appreciate the attention to detail. The Star Wars-themed rocks are a great idea—thanks for sharing the print profile!

I like models where anything is printed and where's no need to buy something. Furthermore I was curious if these printed springs work that well. And I'm amazed how nice this catapult works. Great job! Thank you.
