Catapult (functional)

cults3d

To complement the siege tower...what better companion than a squadron of these fully functional catapults? so the assault will be assured ;) The download consists of 6 files in STL format, tested and error free, ready to be cast! So that you have all the parts for assembly you will need to print: Structure.stl x 1 Spoon.stl x 1 Shaft.stl x 2 Wheel.stl x 4 Tension clamp x 2 Pin.stl x 1 Obtain a small rope for the throwing mechanism and another to tie the pin to, this will hold the bucket in the loading position until you decide to throw. To assemble it is very simple, glue each axle to a wheel, insert them into the holes of the structure and glue the other wheel, leaving the structure with mobile wheels! for the launching mechanism you will have to pass a rope through the lateral holes of the structure and tie them to each tensioning clamp. Once they are fastened, turn them to braid the rope to give it the desired tension (this will be the launching force) and insert the spoon right in the middle of the rope in a vertical position. We pull the spoon backwards until we introduce the pin (you should already feel the tension that will make it throw)...and that's it! we'll have it ready to shoot down its target! :P The rope of the pin is to introduce it in one of the rear rings..so it will never get lost, It can be climbed without any problems. Soon I will post a video with explanation and result... Enjoy! :D
