Whipper trebuchet - 3d printed

thingiverse

I modified Tom Stanton's larger wooden whipper trebuchet design to create a smaller version, 20cm wide.\r\nMy printer is currently down, so I haven't printed and tested the new design yet; you're welcome to experiment with the settings.\r\nThe axles and holes might require some sanding to allow for smooth swinging motion.\r\nThe counterweight carriage can be used for coins or other objects that fit inside; cover it up with tape if needed.\r\nTwo wood screws at the bottom will keep the beams in place.\r\nTo create the releasing mechanism, heat a paper clip and melt it onto the top of the arm, adjusting the angle as needed by bending the paper clip.\r\nFor further information on the sling or how to use the trebuchet, refer to Tom Stanton's video.
