Toy Shot

This is a toy shot for children to play with.

This “working” toy syringe has become one of my child's favorite toys. Every person, and many toys, have all been given imaginary injections to either put them to sleep or wake them up. The little toy has also proven quite robust, surviving the worst my 2 year old has thrown at it. Its been stepped on, sat on, thrown, crushed, and buried. Still works.

I designed it to use a 9x34mm compression spring so that the plunger would automatically pop out, but honestly I wish it was a bit less stiff so you could probably get away with a weaker spring (or even a 3d printed one?).

Other than that you'll want some glue to attach the stopper to the plunger. I put a small groove on the top so that you can twist it into the bottom. This is meant to make gluing under spring tension easier and not meant to be the only method for keeping the shot together.

As with all 3d printed toys, adult supervision should be provided when being used by children.
