Description

Grab a pile of Rocks and battle your opponent using a magnetic repulsion driven catapult. The magnetopult consists of three parts that can all be printed without supports. The base, throwing arm and the cross bar. Each can be loaded with up to five 8mm x 2mm magnets. I got them at Princess Auto, but you can get them for about 20 cents a piece on Amazon.

The magnets in the base should be loaded to repel the magnets in the throwing arm and the crossbar can be set up to either attract or repel. For me they fit perfectly, I have to force them in but there is lots of friction to hold them in. To test that your tolerances work I suggest printing the cross bar to test the fit and then you can scale if you need to.

With the full 15 magnets I can easily throw a Rock 6 to 8 feet. You can play with the trajectory by changing the number of magnets as well as the position and direction of the cross bar.

The flop targets have a skull and crossbones on the bottom of them to indicate a downed target (pretty obvious anyway, but I thought it was a fun touch.)

You can throw anything you can stick in the catapult bucket including mini marshmallows, but I thought some Rocks would be appropriate. (Slightly trimmed version of masoncfrancis's the Rock's Head) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5162278
