Description
Membership Pocket Slingshot! The next evolution of my PaperPlane Launcher🙌
This version is fully foldable, compact , and designed to fit right into your pocket. Just unfold it , extend the arms , hook your paper plane , and fire away! 🚀
🧩 Ammunition & Projectiles
This time, I didn’t design new ammo because this slingshot was meant as a cooler, foldable alternative to my first launcher
specifically made for firing paper planes! For that purpose, I created small nose clips that can be attached to almost any paper plane. ✈️
Bonus tip
From time to time, I print some of the awesome gliders by Arty_SC with my son. His Mini Glider “Swallow” already has a perfect nose hook, and it works flawlessly with my Pocket Slingshot! So, big recommendation from me🔥🔥🔥 check out Arty_SC’s models! 👍

⚙️ Before You Print
Before starting your Pocket Slingshot , I strongly recommend printing a quick tolerance test first
especially if you’re using PETG or a fresh spool of filament .
Even minor moisture in the filament can slightly affect dimensional accuracy,
which may cause the inner parts to fit too tightly or not at all . Running this short test helps ensure your filament is ready, saving you both time and material.

Safety warning
This model is a low-power mechanical toy launcher.
Do not aim or shoot at people, animals, faces, eyes, windows, vehicles, or fragile objects. Even if the impact may seem minor, a small projectile can still cause injury, especially if it hits the eye. Wearing eye protection is strongly recommended.

Guides and print profiles
Print profiles and steps
Pocket Slingshot - 0.2mm layer, 3 walls, 15% infill
Paperplane Nose - 0.2mm layer, 2 walls, 15% infill
three color strenght_0.2mm layer, 3 walls, 25% infill
PETG strength one plate - 0.16mm layer, 2 walls, 15% infill Profile tuned for PETG with 0.16 mm layer height , chosen to balance detail, adhesion, and strength. The finer layer height helps layer bonding and improves inter-layer strength, which is especially useful for small mechanical parts or prints that will flex slightly during use.
Settings include 2 walls and 15 % Gyroid infill , printed at moderate speeds to improve PETG layer fusion. If you notice that the filament hole feels slightly tight after printing, a small cutter like in the picture can be used to clear it - see example photo. No STL modifications were made; only slicer parameters were adjusted for consistent, reliable PETG printing.
