The Coolest Crossbow - with Scope!

thingiverse

So my nephew wanted a rifle with a scope after playing Fortnite, and I thought "why create something he can't shoot anything with?" so I made him this :)\r\n\r\nIt's a handheld crossbow, powered by rubber bands. With the optional scope on top.\r\n\r\nIt's got 3 different kinds of arrows: The cool broadhead arrow, a regular sharp arrow, and a blunt arrow he could have used.\r\n\r\nThere are 2 kinds of scopes: The clip-on version that's easy to install and remove, and the mounted version you screw on.\r\n\r\nFor a complete working toy, you need the base, trigger, lever, sprints, and hammer - and a minimum of 5 rubber bands. 2 are used to propel the hammer/arrows forward, one is for resetting the lever, one is for the trigger, and one is for slowing the hammer before it passes the front of the crossbow (which could damage the hammer if you're unlucky).\r\n\r\n2 rubber bands for the hammer might be a bit weak though. I'd use at least 6 :)\r\n\r\nAnd for the best results, add some lubrication in the barrel where the hammer passes through and on the hammer as well.\r\n\r\nWhen printing this, you can print the arrows and sprints with brim and no support.\r\nThe hammer needs support from the base plate only.\r\nThe trigger and lever need no support and no brim.\r\nThe base needs full support everywhere, and unfortunately a lot of post-printing cleanup. For this, I also added a cleaner base that is faster and easier to clean after printing.\r\nThe scopes are best printed with brim and full support.\r\n\r\nPrint time with the printer and settings marked in this project:\r\nCrossbow base clean - 8h 7m\r\nCrossbow base - 15h 57m\r\nCrossbow complete with scope - 23h 46m\r\nCrossbow complete - 18h 11m\r\nCrossbow fixed scope - 7h 1m\r\nCrossbow broadhead arrow - 2h 2m\r\nCrossbow clip-on scope - 9h 24m\r\nCrossbow dull arrow - 1h 40m\r\nCrossbow hammer - 25m\r\nCrossbow sharp arrow - 1h 49m\r\nCrossbow sprints 9m\r\nCrossbow trigger lever - 5m\r\nCrossbow trigger - 8m\r\n\r\nSuggestions are welcome, and if someone feels like making the scope adjustable in X and Y, that would be amazing as well!\r\n\r\n<b>Oh, and if you like it, don't forget to tip the designer :) It helps me make more of these cool things for this community!</b>
