ThinkFun Fire Machine set (Catapult)

thingiverse

This Is a Super Easy Catapult Expansion Set. You Can Build Your Own Remixed Version with Ease. The New Pieces Let You Move the Catapult Arm Up, Stretch the Elastic Rubber, and Launch Objects with a Flick of the Trigger. One Thing I Forgot to Add is the Lifter Box with Fun Designs. You Can Create Your Own Lifter Box and Have Fun Doing It! You Can Also Mix and Match the Pieces in Different Ways to Create Cool Designs - The Only Limit Is Your Imagination! I Want to Apologize for Any Confusion Caused by the Picture - I Printed Some of the Pieces Before Realizing the Contest Rules. Check Out the Pictures to See How They Go Together.
