Description
Thanks for all of the support on this model, and make sure you check out some of my others!
V2 OUT NOW
Original model by @PracticeFili_2157914 at https://www.printables.com/model/941396-the-ultimate-finger-catapult-easy-to-print-updated
Check original model for more information.
Remixed the model to make it even more ultimate and stronger, larger, more capable, and have ammo.
Full collection of files.
WARNINGS AND NOTES:
-If there are any supports on the bridge from the spring mechanism to the bucket, please remove them in the slicer using the support painting tool.
-You may want to resize the spherical ammo in the slicer to 1cm so that it fits in the newest iterations.
-My V1 print took about half an hour and used 8.72g of filament.
-Supports are annoying and take around 5 mins to remove, but are necessary.
-V2 needs a brim or bed adhesion support
-My V2 print took 33mins and used 9.58g of filament
-Please leave a comment for any questions or concerns
