on-target flip and swings

This on-target fixture was designed for the 6-Shot Disc Shooter by uhltimate.  

Thin flip targets

The 6 disc shooter 30mm disks do not have a lot of mass.  There size and velocity combine to give their force, but the spin and add a lot of randomness.  The flip targets are light weight so they will give.

Swinging round targets are heavy with an offset hub (to allow for printing flat).

Note on sizes:

I have generated parts that are beyond the size of my print bed and can therefore not print. As the frames are programmatically generated I don't anticipate any issues with fit.

FLIP version

• Select the spacing (gap) 14mm or 32mm.  32mm has fewer targets per frame but more miss opportunities.

  • Hole Cut Template

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.

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

CUT-OUT Templates

These are for convenience.  There is no magic, they are all the same height.  If printing multiple sizes you could print a large template and mark the shorter widths.  You could also measure the size of the box on the back and cut to size.   Note the widths around the clips need to be accurate.
