Spring upgrade for Desktop Whomp Rocket

prusaprinters

<p>This spring is tapered so that it can compress down into a thin slice. That will preserve more internal air volume for your successful desktop whomp LEO insertions.</p><p>It prints fast and decent without supports. It has been whomp-tested 3 times (no, that's a lie, I only tested it twice). As always, adult supervision is required. Every single part of this whomp rocket and spring is dangerous if used incorrectly.</p><p>Note: It's deliberately a tight squeeze around the bottom. This will ensure maximum retention of the spring during transportation of your launching device. No, that's also a lie. I refactored the code and made a small conditional logic error, so the flat 270 degree base gets a “reverse taper”. But it works, and still looks elegant from a top-down view.</p><p>If you want a smooth underbelly to your tasteful spring upgrade, I've also included a .gcode file with supports. Does it work? No clue. I'm not wasting 2 hours on that and I hope you don't either.</p><p>How much do I care about you, the rocket scientists of the future? Plenty! That's why I rendered it with over 45,000 vertices and took almost 10 minutes of CPU time.</p><p>Bonus: it even works upside down. Kind of. It looks sad when you install it that way, but it's a trooper of a spring and will still do your bidding.</p><p>(This is a modification, not a remix, of the Desktop Whomp Rocket aka workplace HR magnet, https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/131862-desktop-whomp-rocket)<br><br>Thank you to @tokyo2ooo for a great idea.

Try them both and see what you like. Make some for your friends.</p>
