A new bolt for the crossbow of the now classic game Crossbows & Catapults (apparently also known as Battlegrounds).  Also complete assembly see below.

This is my grandson's favourite game of the moment but unfortunately one of the crossbow bolts was broken.  Upon studying the original I realised that the bolt should be captive. However wear of the small catches meant that the bolts could be drawn too far or pulled out. In addition to solving this failing, the new design is also “beefed-up” where the bolt slams home as this feature was also broken.

I printed these horizontally (as shown in the Fusion drawing) in PETG with “support everywhere”.  The supports were easily removed.

p.s.  Since the crossbow frame has now also become broken, I have designed a replacement for that too.  https://www.printables.com/model/1403928-crossbows-catapults-classic-game-crossbow-complete
