The Highlighter - A folding pistol thingy
Project I designed 5 years ago inspired by holding a highlighter like a gun while bored at class.
This project is me trying to learn how to integrate springs into my designs, since before now when I needed mechanical potential energy rubber band was my go to choice. This is more of an 3d modeling exercise for me, wanting to create a mechanism that folds and unfolds while having as little of unbroken surfaces as possible. This is all a roundabout way to say, this is kinda a horrible gun design. It can barely shoot its plastic bullet to knock down an empty soda can.
Assembly requires sanding and superglue.
Notes:
All part requires no supports except:
- Receiver Main_Base.stl
- Firing pin.stl
- Handle Clasp_Hook.stl
- Mid receiver.stl

Springs:
This requires 5 springs: (please refer to the pictures above)
1. Trigger tension spring: Spring from Clicky Ballpen cut to about 6mm
2. Cover clasp spring: Spring from Clicky Ballpen cut to also about 6mm
3. Main drive Spring: Spring from Clicky Ballpen as long as you can get
4. Pin Lock tension spring: Drink a soda in a can and cut into a 6mm thick strip (please refer to the picture of spring 4 for how to roughly fold the strip)
5. Handle torsion spring: The hardest one to make... Print the Springmaker.stl and find a G guitar string, place the tip of the spring through the hole and tightly wrap around making 6 full revolutions. cut from the spring maker and cut then bend to shape in the picture below. the spring thickness must be below 2mm.






Assembly
Print one each part and Assemble as follow:
Sand as you go if it doesn't fit the first time :)
12 & 13; 10 & 11; 16 & 18; and 14 & 15 are required to be super glued together
Slot in the firing pin (21), in the grooves of the Sliding cover (11).
Then tuck in the runway covers (14 & 15) in the middle of 11 & 21 before gluing the Runway cover together
The thin shafts in the design is paper clip trimmed into place. The main hinge needs a countersunk m3x14 and bolt found out that the m2.5 bolts I designed in as per the illustration below is not really needed, sooo maybe just ignore that.
