Notes:

Post-Printing =============

After printing most of the parts should locate together with slots or pins made from 1.75mm filament, before gluing i would suggest fitting the model together to check the fit and see how the parts fit together.rnrnThe main pivot and counterweight pivot should rotate freely in the swing arm, the pivots should be glued to the frame and counterweight. The spacers should be added either side of the arm at the pivots, these dont need to be glued in place.rnrnTo make the trebuchet functional you will need to make a fabric sling to load the projectile into, this should be around 100mm long. The counterweight also needs to be loaded with something heavy. rn
