Tabletop Trebuchet Toy

A Tabletop Trebuchet is the perfect tool for all your miniature siege needs. This design is fully printed except for the coins in the counterweight. Any coin with a diameter smaller than 28mm can fit in the counterweight. Adding more coins to the counterweight will increase the range of the trebuchet. I like to use 40 US quarters which weigh about 224 grams. The range can also be adjusted with the ratcheting hook. Changing the angle of the hook changes the release angle of the projectile. Pushing the ratchet all the way in will launch the projectile more horizontally. Pulling the ratchet all the way out will launch the projectile more vertically.
