Props3D Compliance Dart Gun
When I saw Mark Rober’s compliant mechanism dart gun it was more than cool, it was a new way of storing potential energy that I had never seen before. So of course I printed one, and the dart went about a foot… It was still cool though. So I set about redesigning it as close as I could to his but with a respectable amount of power. This baby shoots clear across the room so show it a bit of respect before testing.
Instructions
- The dart gun
- A dart..
- This is as easy as it gets, pull back on the ring until it clicks, push the dart in the front and tip the gun back to make sure it’s in as far as it can go.
- Pull the trigger and watch it go!
