Football launcher - compatible with Gravitrax

This design was based on a Foosball table. It features the ball coming and being kicked by something that resembles a boot. 

There are two options available for the base:

Pass & Kick

The base is completely flat and requires good timing. The ball has to be kicked at the right moment to give it a major boost. Failing to kick the ball correctly can slow it down or stop it completely.

Free Kick

The base has a groove which makes the ball stop right at the foot and can be kicked at any time. The boost is not as impressive, but it's still decent. Also the base is taller and uses more filament.

Both bases also require the accessories to be printed.

Assembly (requires glue):
- print the boards (printed in black in the pictures) and insert them into the base. The tolerances are tight, but you should be able to push them in with force and they will snap into place.
- print the rail (which passes though the boards). It has two halves and two connectors. Glue is mandatory for this step.
- print the wheel. Attach the two halves of the wheel to the rail. Again the tolerances are fairly tight for this.
- print the boot. Add a regular ball to the boot (it should snap into place). Connect the boot to the rail using little force until it snaps into place

If you have issues with the boot or the wheel connectors not holding, then you can use a little glue.

Additionally, for the STL files:
- all accessories should be printed at 0.1; bases can be printed at 0.2
- pass & kick base has a color change at line 51; free kick base has a color change at line 76
- print the board twice
- print the rail twice
- add two primitive cubes and give them the following dimensions: 4.85, 2.85, 2.85; these will serve as the connectors for the two rail halves
- print the wheel twice
