The best Cotton swab Crossbow(V1)

cults3d

This is the first version of my 3D printed crossbow. Most of the crossbows I have printed that other people have designed didn't work very well but I have compiled all of the best parts of those into the best Qtip crossbow. The only parts that are not 3D printed are the hair clips for the arms, either fishing line or multiple strands of thread twisted together(How many pieces you use depends on the thread size you have and your desired thickness.), toothpick for trigger bar, and you can use a pen spring for an optional trigger return spring(doesn't work super well right now but the next version will have a more reliable system of a trigger return.) It will shoot 15+ feet with the Qtips cut to 5.5 cm, use safely and do not shoot towards a person with anything pointed on the end. The video on how to assemble it is now posted and available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re4_b86OlPw This is my design made completely from scratch but if you buy and print the parts and find something that doesn't work very well or can be improved please let me know as I will implement this in upcoming designs.
