Description

A basic Hot Wheels launcher with room for improvement.   It works as is but several things could be improved including:

  • Car position relative to paddle when launching needs to be adjusted with a second hand
  • Spring tension is higher than it should be for smaller children

Print it and give it a shot.  I've included the STEP file if you would like to improve it on your own.

Print Settings

  • Material: PETG (Needed for spring flexibility)
  • Nozzle: 0.6mm (0.4 should work)
  • Layer Height: 0.28mm (0.20 should work)
  • Infill:
    • Spring: 100%
    • Others: 25%
  • Wall Thickness: 1.8mm
  • Top/Bottom Thickness: 1.12mm (Just stay close to this)
  • Supports: No
