About this 3D model

A fun little print in place crossbow - Perfect for annoying work colleagues or classmates! :P Features: Print in place design Fold out trigger mechanism Fold out foregrip Bolts included Very accurate Can be extremely powerful Post Print: Band Assembly: Loading: The easiest way to load the crossbow is to: Fold the trigger away as if it was just printed Hold in place with one of your index fingers With the other hand, pull the rubber band back and hook on the band stop Release your finger and gently pull the trigger down Pull out the foregrip Insert bolt Fire! Inserting The Bolts: There is a very small groove in the very centre of the bolt channel and a corresponding male extrusion on the bolt itself. This is there to make the bolt sit short of the trigger mechanism when sliding in to place. This groove is subtle and only there as a guide. Tip: If you want to get some actual power out of the crossbow, then use a length of TPU instead of a rubber band. This will allow the bow to actually flex and at least doubles the power of the bolt. Do this with caution though, as not only does this make the crossbow potentially dangerous (Not suitable for kids) but it can also significantly weaken the bow after several shots. If you get the tension of the TPU right, then you can achieve a happy medium between power and longevity :) Have fun! :P I will be releasing some targets to go with this crossbow very soon.
