Description
Please consider following my YouTube channel—it really helps me keep creating more designs!
This is a print-in-place toothpick launcher that works straight off the printer—no assembly required! It features an integrated compliant spring mechanism, making it compact, reliable, and fun to use.
Features:
- Print-in-place design – Works immediately after printing.
- Built-in toothpick storage – Flip the launcher upside down to extract a toothpick.
- Simple loading and firing – Insert a toothpick into the barrel, aim, and shoot.
Printing Tips:
- No supports needed – The mechanism prints as one solid piece.
- Let the print cool down completely before using – The plastic spring may deform if used while still warm.
⚠️ Safety Warning
This is a toy, but it can still be dangerous if misused. Never aim at people, animals, or fragile objects. Toothpicks are sharp and can cause injury. Use responsibly and under supervision if necessary. The user assumes all responsibility for safe use.
