3D Printer Friendly Rambone Slingshot
thingiverse
This custom-designed slingshot draws inspiration from the iconic Rambone slingshot created by Joerg Sprave on YouTube, but is optimized with 3D printing in mind. When researching existing slingshots on Thingiverse, particularly the Rambone model, I noticed that many designs required numerous supports or could only be printed in a way that compromised their structural integrity. Therefore, I set out to create a new design: a slingshot based on the Rambone that can be printed without supports, boasts impressive strength, and features an ergonomic design. Here are its key features! As a nod to Joerg Sprave's channel, this slingshot can utilize rubber strips or tubes. It is designed to be held with the rounded side of the handle facing towards yourself when shooting, not away from you. I printed it with the flat side down for optimal stability. To ensure maximum strength, I increased the infill to 50% and raised the wall thickness to 5 parameters. For the rubber component, I used Theraband Gold sourced from Amazon. You can acquire a 5" x 6' strip of this material for $10. The pouch was made from an old leather belt. While you can easily craft a pouch from scrap leather, there are also affordable leather pouches available on Amazon that would work better than my makeshift belt pouch. Alternatively, duck tape could be used as a viable option; it's incredibly versatile and can be found in abundance. There are numerous videos online that demonstrate how to secure the rubber to your slingshot. I found the process to be quite straightforward once I grasped the technique. Additionally, I included 10, 15, and 20 mm balls for ammunition purposes.
