ball shooter

prusaprinters

<p>Old project from a long time ago. &nbsp;Adapted from another toy. &nbsp;Print using PLA (may work in PETG, but I haven't tried it).</p><p>In the end, this was too picky when it came to ball size and hard to get to the point where it would be 100% reliable. &nbsp;For our games we mostly ended up using a different style launcher that wasn't so picky when it came to the ball size. &nbsp;</p><p>I honestly don't remember which springs I used, but I'm pretty sure they came from the spring kit posted below. &nbsp;Also uses a single screw, I'm not sure which but it likely also comes in the screw kit posted below. &nbsp;Some superglue was also required if I remember correctly.</p><p>If there is sufficient demand I will take one apart and try to figure out the exact pieces used. But I recommend people just look through the models to learn how the device works and then design your own, this was honestly one of the first things I designed and the techniques used were not the best. &nbsp;</p><p>Source files (using sketchup make) are provided, as it will likely need to be fine tuned to the marble size.</p><p>I believe the Spring Kit used was this one (amazon) <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000K7M36W">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000K7M36W</a></p><p>I believe the Screw Kit used was this one (amazon) <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GL1TCBR">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GL1TCBR</a></p><p>And the wooden balls it shoots (amazon) <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EI821IS">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EI821IS</a></p><p>Video of the device being used:</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6iKpwxpkaw"></oembed></figure>
