thingiverse

The articulated penny ballista, inspired by Brenda the battle tardigrade, is now available for 3D printing enthusiasts in Zheng Labs! Join the Horde to be among the first to experience this innovative project. This model is a short-stock version, designed for a 120x120mm build surface and can be printed on a Thing-O-Matic. For assembly instructions of its long-stock counterpart, visit http://zheng3.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/zheng3-penny-ballista/. Excitingly, there's now an updated version compatible with slic3r, addressing previous geometry issues. Download the new file zheng3_ballista_thingomatic_slic3r.stl for a smoother printing experience. Don't forget to use Seej basic bloxen as targets for your ballista; these are tabletop wargame pieces based on 3D printing. For more information about Seej, visit http://www.s33j.net and explore Thingiverse for related Things with the seej tag. If you encounter printing issues, try the clean model uploaded on June 1st. Users with limited build platforms can also use wee_ballista.stl, released on June 30th. Happy printing!
