This is a ball launcher that is probably overkill for what I needed it for but it was 100% a fun project to learn things with.
It uses a proximity sensor to sense when a ball is put into the hopper and spins the TPU wheels and a gear train to launch the ball at over 30MPH using a brush-less motor.
After the wheels get sped up it uses a geared servo motor to push the ball into the wheels launching it.
You will need a decently large printer to print these parts without splitting them up.
