Loved the project! Good model 9/10

-Printed in all PLA
-Printed with 2mm height and 20% infill, supports on everything that needed it
-Worked on my Ender 3 V2

The only problem I have with this model other than it's difficult assembly is the fact that it doesn't **** when you pull it back all the way, you need a screwdriver or something long and thin to **** it for you because the elastic doesn't have enough strength to do it for you, slowing down firing considerably. Otherwise, great project.

Thanks a lot for this model and providing the CAD files. I was able to modify a lot of little points to make it easier to print and build

- 45degree for the loading slot
- M3 screws instead of plastic joints
- Split in half and added slot to the front part to print it with less supports
- Added a centering pin for the top center part
- Added some more space for the locking front
- Need to reduce the bullet slot, as they will fall when loading it
- Merged all the two parts in one because I have a larger printer

I will upload my files once I've finalized my little tweaks.

Thanks again for the model, it even fires :D

Hello, I made this model myself and it went really well. This model is incredible! I had a few troubles fitting the lockpins so I would suggest scaling them down to 95-90% size. It was a difficult assembly and the lockfronts where also hard to assemble and I had to use a mallet. Once it's printed and assembled it works a charm. It fires incredibly hard and can go strait through paper, and bruise a person :)

A great model, I highly recommend making this yourself. Here from Zack Freedman's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XVcix5n8x8&t=121s)

hello, great to read your comment. and thank you for the link you sended. it was my first 3D print design :-) i think there is an updated model from a commenter here! thanks again!

Hi there,

Arkoudaki, you have done an awesome model here.

I've done a bunch of modifications to it for easier building. It all started with printed pins that snapped and replaced them with m3x20 screws. My remix

For this model here, 0.2mm with 15% infill and 3 perimeters. 25% with 5 perimeters for the Front block is working great.

BTW, i used the elastic cord from a cat toy. (a rod with a elastic cord with feathers) they are really strong with a diameter of 2mm. i could shoot wooden pellets (for woodburner stove) through a karton box
