Replying to @user_775537187 :

can you share a picture? .. ill see if i can strenghten it

@mattwilkes84

this has nothing to do with your design, but anyone else do this? this is the original size. the rubber bands keep them from potentially slipping off

The designer has replied

@ForceM

I actually glued the pins to the center one

@mattwilkes84

Replying to @ForceM :

OK, so I apologize for not looking at the term for this, but I’m referring to the four springs. I printed them in PLA and they are cracking in the middle. They still work, but they have lost their spring to a certain degree. Would you suggest maybe printing it differently or in ABS or PETG? I don’t have either of those right now, but I do have some PLACF. I printed them using two walls for flexibility. Do you think I should use more walls? also what kind of infill do you suggest?

Replying to @mattwilkes84 :

Im absolutely not an expert in filament types and all. But i believe because PETG is more rigid .. it will not function properly for leaf springs.

made One, first shot the arm broke down immediately. the force is very strong. made a new arm at 100% and doubled it with steel bars front and back and export glue. now I can lauvhn potatoes!! 😅🤣🤣🤣

epoxy glue*

@Dave_Industries

Throwing arm broke, so I took the STL and converted it back to a solid body and added a 10mm brace along to top. Leaf springs printed from PETG, as is the throwing arm. All other parts in PLA CF. Pins scaled up a little bit for a snug fit and sellotape added to rings that fit into the outer supports for a better fit. It's got some power behind it!!

POWERFUL Made springs and throwing arm out of PETG, 6 walls since people were citing throwing arm breaking. Assembling and the clips broke on the front and back plates when trying to clip in - so reprinted with 6 walls, that seemed to work. Then launched (with POWER) and the middle plate clips broke due to the force. Rather than reprint at 6 walls, I printed a little cross support to slide in. Then the (blue) 'stop' shattered. Using it without, hopefully it doesn't break itself anymore.

This is an amazing print fun build and works very well. Thanks

@user_3014332287

connection pins too small

The designer has replied

@ForceM

no they are not .. whats the issue your having with them? .. can you show a picture?

@user_3014332287

Replying to @ForceM :

ok so I fixed it by re scaling them to 220%

@user_221373110

how big is the basket at 210%? wondering if a pickleball will fit in it.

The designer has replied

@ForceM

as its not a completely round basket .. its about 6,5 to 7cm in diameter. But that edge is not the widest of its projectile. Which would probably be between 7 and 7,5 cm (estimate) How big is a Pickleball?

@user_3014332287

Replying to @ForceM :

tennis/baseball sized, or about I’d say 7.5 cm

Required adding a brace to the throwing arm, which I did by converting the STL back to a solid shape. Works a treat once that upgrade was mode. Very powerful!!
