Print-optimized Slingshot

I got a little fed up with some of the other models that I have found on printables and thingiverse, so I gave a crack at making my interpretation/clone of the ScoutX with slightly narrower (41mm) forks. All in all this slingshot should cost less than $1.00 depending on your filament of choice, and how many random bolts you have laying around from other projects. Buy a 10 pack of thinner elastic bands and some clay ammo off of Amazon, and you're ready to start plinking!

I recommend printing the main body, clamps, and knob at 100% infill with at least 5 perimeter walls, using aligned rectilinear infill. The grips can be printed with less infill at your discretion (I do 100% for some added weight).

This model only requires the following hardware:

• 2x M4x16mm hex bolts
• 2x M4 nuts
• 2x M4 washers
• 1x slingshot band (I bought this 10 pack off of Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DYG313W?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Print the following:

• 1x “mainbody”
• 2x grips of your choice
• 2x clamp
• 2x knob

Once printed, all you need to do is:

1. Superglue on the grips to either side of the slingshot body
2. insert the m4 bolts into the knobs
3. press fit the M4 nuts into the clamp
4. Insert 1 M4 washer onto each knob/bolt assembly
5. push knob/bolt assembly though the top of each fork
6. loosely thread on clamp (nut side facing outwards)
7. clamp on slingshot band of choice
8. Don't shoot your eye out.

If you end up making one, let me know what you think, and share your color combination. Happy slinging!
