Simple, easy to print, material-saving, exquisite, easy to assemble, resistant to failure and breakage, no supports needed for printing, no glue needed for assembly!

Note: 1. If you can't push it in by hand, you can print the tool hammer from the homepage, align it with the buckle and gently tap it in.

        2. It's best to apply glue or spray to the build plate to prevent printing failures; the main reason for spaghetti is that the build plate is too smooth.

No supports needed for printing (if the base plate is not sticky, you can add a skirt yourself), no glue or hardware required for assembly (if it's too tight, press hard or gently tap with a small hammer), a very convenient Chinese-style assembly model!

Catapult:

A catapult is a large human-powered long-range weapon that uses the lever principle to launch projectiles. Its emergence was both a technological advancement and a military necessity. In Chinese chess, the black side's cannon, written as "砲", refers to a catapult; the character "炮" with the fire radical in ancient texts mostly referred to branding. Catapults began to be used during the Spring and Autumn period and became important siege and defensive weapons after the Sui and Tang dynasties. However, during the Song Dynasty, they developed further than in the Sui and Tang periods, being used not only for siege and defense but also for field battles. "Pao Shi" (抛石) and "Fei Shi" (飞石) in ancient texts refer to catapults. Ancient Western catapults were also one of the main offensive means, extensively used by Persians and Greeks.
