Rubber band powered coconut flinging Monkey!

thingiverse

This monkey will fling things over its head and into a target (if you're really good). Print a few and use them as a fun game for kids. The ammo can be anything you like - coconuts, bananas, or even monkey poop! https://youtu.be/FEBva_tFHS8 You can print it without support. Inspired by the classic game 'Coconuts', I wanted to see if I could design my own monkey from scratch. Created entirely in Sketch-Up. ==UPDATE== Too many rubber bands or excessive use can cause its head to fall off! To fix this, I'm redesigning the joint for better stability. I've also improved the throwing angle to be more vertical and made the hands more cupped to hold projectiles better. The revised models are marked with 'v2'. Note: Due to printer issues, I haven't been able to test v2 yet. Please let me know if there are any problems.
