Description

These are various styles of projectiles that fit in Adam-M's Catapult Card https://www.printables.com/model/211679-catapult-card . I printed the catapult in PETG, but didn't have anything to shoot in it, so I made these to fit nicely in the catapult's cup. I know that this is not technically a ‘remix’, it is an accessory, but I figured that if someone is printing the Catapult Card, they could easily add in to the slice a projectile that is designed to fit the catapult. These will work.

There are 10 different styles of projectiles. I was curious to see if any of them whistled at all while in the air, and also which went the farthest. None whistled, and the “Discus” version went slightly farther than the other designs, at a distance of ~9 feet. In fact, all three of the discus versions went farther than the rest. The “Hollow Point 3” went the shortest distance. However, in terms of trying to achieve the greatest distance possible, I was able to shoot a smaller piece of plastic ~14 feet, which tells me that lighter projectiles will travel farther than heavier objects, but I assume that you can make a projectile too light and start losing distance. There is likely a weight-to-distance sweet spot, but I don't know what that is. 

I printed all 10 of the designs with 25% concentric infill. I assume that at 100% infill, the distance would decrease, but the destructive force would increase, if you are trying to knock over targets.
