All3DP Unwrapped: Catapult Card

Ah, the holidays. A time for family, and about as much relaxation as you can manage while the kids are out of school and fueled on a daily dose of seasonal chocolate from their advent calendars.

Your 3D printer can help (somewhat), with quick prints that provide a daily dose of fun. 3D printed advent gifts, if you will.

All month until December 25th we’re bringing you All3DP Unwrapped: daily highlights of quick and easy toys that you can 3D print over the holiday season. We’re sure to dig up something fun for you, whether it’s a daily advent toy, gifts for the holiday celebrated by your family, or just a micro project for yourself. Check it out!

Catapult Card by Adam-M

Much like last week’s Hubble Telescope model, this working catapult design is printed in card form, then snapped together, piece by piece. It’s also “fairly powerful”, according to the Printables page (where you’ll also find surprisingly detailed assembly instructions). This sentiment is also echoed through the print’s comments section, which features hundreds of satisfied users.

What exactly you’ll launch, however, is up to you. Peas? Marbles? Filament blobs? The possibilities are essentially limitless. Let the siege begin.
