3D Printed Minifigure Catapult 🚀

Launch your minifigures farther than you’d ever expect with this powerful, fully 3D printed catapult. Designed to push what’s possible with a desktop 3D printer, this model uses the natural flex of printed plastic to store energy and release it in a fast, smooth motion—sending minifigures flying 50+ feet with ease 💥

The entire model is designed to print with zero supports, keeping prints clean and efficient. Assembly is just as satisfying—everything snaps together using built-in connections, so there’s no glue, screws, or extra hardware required 🔧 Just print, snap it together, and you’re ready to launch.

This catapult features a spring-powered mechanism, rotating hub, and linkage system that work together to deliver consistent and repeatable launches. A built-in stopper helps control the release angle, giving you smoother and more predictable shots every time 🎯 Whether you're trying to hit maximum distance or just dialing in consistency, this design performs.

It’s more than just a toy—it’s a fun mechanical build that shows how powerful and precise 3D printed designs can be. Great for testing, experimenting, or just launching minifigures across the room (or yard) 😄

⚠️ Safety Notice

This launcher is powerful. Always use it in a large, open space away from people, pets, and breakable objects. Never aim at anyone or anything that could be damaged. Use responsibly and have fun safely 👍
