on-target disc shooter hoop track

This on-target fixture was designed for the 6-Shot Disc Shooter by uhltimate.  The fixture has a 65mm wide mouth and may accommodate other disc designs.

This is one of several box on-target solutions available.

Successful shots will run the full loop of the track end end up in the box.

I started with a 180 degree model but found being the final target less desirable.  This makes a nice noise as it spins through the track.

Must mount on the left side of the box to match the spin of the disks.

The box:

• 3-7mm thick is good.
• Less than 3mm you may need to place the templates in the back to make the space behind the clips closer.

Printing

• These are thin wall fixtures.
  • Good layer adhesion required
  • designed for .4mm at 2mm layer.
• Print the track curve down.  Support the bottom and some of the bottom edges to prevent from falling over.
  • The current track will take the volume of about 203x 193 x 200 tall.  Maybe it can be cut in two pieces and re-assembled.
• Print Exit and Return fittings standing up.
  • Only the Return fitting will need some support above the clips… and maybe on tree half way up the slope to prevent it from falling over during print.
• Print the 90 degree face plate / clips down.   Add one or two tree supports on early edges to prevent it from falling over.

Assembly:

• Print the 90 degree elbow, the oval template and the EXIT template.
• cut the clip supports out of the clips (beauty is not required)
• cut the front entry hole using the rectangle on the oval template to get the offset from the box edge.
• At the same elevation, use the exit template on the side of the box to cut the matching exit hole.  Insert the 90 degree through the front.

• You can pre-assemble the BOX EXIT and TRACK SIDE EXIT by sliding them together.  Note the difference in the ends of the diamonds.   Sliding the track part over the box part should align larger diamond point towards the clips.
• Insert the box exit into the cutout.  Note the notch opposite the clips must enter first.  The attachment slips OVER the 90 degree assembly.

• The wider arch of the track inserts into the connector.  If you look closely there is a narrow channel for it to slip into.  Glue may not be necessary in the final assembly.
• Check the alignment.  You want to land below the entry on the front of the box.  
• Use the Return entry template to map out the cuts below the entry.  The notched side of the diamond will be about 6-10 mm from the edge of the box.  
  • Remember to cutout the two squares in the corner for the clips.  For ease of cutting you can cut between the boxes as one piece.  
  • The top and bottom edge location is needed to align with the clips.
• Insert the RETURN connector into the box, inserting the notch first.
• The other end of the track should insert into the narrow slots in the connector.

Don't Forget Night Mode

Put a flashlight in the box and enjoy illuminated targets.

Box Preparation

• In the bottom of the box, fill the space between the flaps with cardboard.
• Tape over the seams to create a level floor.
• Cut a slot in the lower right front of the box about 15mm tall and 70mm deep for the collection of discs

Safety

Wear Safety glasses.  The spin on these disks hitting hard surfaces will send them everywhere.
