Desktop Defender (5 shot catapult)

thingiverse

The Desktop Defender is a powerful five-shot automatic catapult designed for safeguarding your workspace against office skirmishes. To fully utilize its potential, check out this video (http://youtu.be/nL_UauU9k9w). To assemble, print the necessary components: pivot arm (x5), pivot rod (x1), friction-fit pin (x2), left and right vertical supports (x1 each), base, crossbar, basket (x5), 8mm spacer (x2), and 25mm spacer (x4). No additional support is required. Begin by attaching the vertical supports on both sides of the base. Next, affix the crossbar using friction-fit pins. Proceed to slide the pivot rod through one end of the base, followed by an 8mm spacer, then a pivot arm, another 25mm spacer, another pivot arm, and finally an 8mm spacer and the other end of the base (repeat this process four times). To finish, glue the basket to the tip of each pivot arm. Create five pulling pins out of paperclips and attach them to the crossbar, securing them to each arm hook. Finally, aim, fire, and enjoy your desktop defense system!
