About this print
A small desktop catapult that uses elastic to fling objects, reportedly over distances of 20 feet or more depending on the elastic used. The design suits use as a novelty desk toy, a teaching prop, or a seasonal Halloween launcher for small items such as pumpkins or pennies. PLA is a practical choice for this model, providing the rigidity the arm and frame need under repeated elastic loading.

Printing Catapult
For Catapult we would normally reach for PLA — it is the easy, economical default and suits the majority of models. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material?
