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)

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

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.

What filament is this?

@LCruz3D

Replying to @roman1 :

Regular PLA with spray paint brown

Findings: if you want more power with the same scale, extend the pins and add another set of leaf srpings on the top. Power is up by about 70%! And now that’s a circle :)

Nice to print Fun to use (only with paper bullet, I'm using it at home :D )

@U3DN

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!

how small could i make it before it does not work?

@Darkstalker

Never shoot the stormtrooper rocks. They always miss.

@AnlOzcn

OMG. What a design! Works like a beast. But guys, please do not try at home as recommended ! Or you may find yourselves in a situation trying to find out how you explain your wife the consequences :)

Replying to @uhltimate :

it keeps breaking the arm on the big(200%) so I left it out and used a heavy duty rubber band which seems to work well. It’s so epic big or small lol tank you for this
