CNC Pocket Slingshot DXF / Zwille / Steinschleuder

I have converted the 3D model of the two finger Slingshot for CNC. You can mill two sides and then glue them together with wood glue. I rounded off the edges at the end with a router. A Slingshot can also be used very well as a template to create a copy manually with the scroll saw.

Made on CNC3018PRO

• MDF Laminate 5.6 mm (two sides glued together)
• Fxy 400 mm / minute (ideal feed for MDF)
• Fz 100 mm / minute
• milling cutter 1.58 mm (2.08 mm at CAM software)

To correct the spindle frictions, I add 0.5 mm to the real diameter of 1.58 mm. This means that for CNC3018PRO in the CAM software the diameter is given as 2.08 mm for a 1.58 mm cutter.

The material is very sturdy and feels comfortable in the hand. The outside of the laminate is protected with a layer of varnish. I painted the edges several times with wood glaze.

Two finger slingshot

This slingshot for two fingers is small and fits very well in the pocket, but for me it is not ideal in the hand.

I have created another CNC ergononic pocket slingshot (thing-5993766) model for three fingers that is more comfortable in my hand.
