Beyblade Launcher (Plastic Gen Ver)

thingiverse

This is a modification of the MFB launcher made by Rishirk, which has been split into its base components, stripped of some unnecessary parts, and retrofitted with prongs that will fit plastic gen beyblades instead of MFB ones. This launcher is fully functional but currently only fits right spin beyblades. The prongs can be mirrored to fit left spin beyblades, but you'd have to use the whole launcher backwards. Also, the top of the launcher has been changed so that there's a place where you can put your favorite bit beast sticker, similar to how MFB launchers let you put a face bolt sticker on the top. However, there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, this has to be assembled with some kind of glue. Secondly, the pictures show what happened when I tried to glue the launcher together with a previous version of the upper casing, where the gap for the ripchord was too big, meaning that the teeth on the ripchord could not grab onto the gear properly. This issue has since been fixed. While none of the parts of the launcher itself are compatable with any official launcher parts, you can freely use any MFB or plastic gen ripchord if you have one to spare, meaning you might not need to print your own. Lastly, while it does fit tightly into official launcher grips, it won't be able to lock into place. This means that if you want to use it with an official launcher grip, you'll either have to rely on the tightness, or keep the launcher in place with tape or glue. Also, the 3D-printed silver ripchord as replaced by an official black one because I accidentally broke the 3D-printed one shortly after pictures were taken, and I didn't want to re-print it when I already have dozens of official ripchords. The 3D-printed ripchord did work fine before it broke. In case you're wondering, the beyblade shown in the video is my very own fully 3D-printed Driger S (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3676861). Its short spin time is a result of being made entirely from PLA plastic. I don't have any official plastic gen beyblades to test this with, so that's what I had to use.
