Slingshot - Shadow Hunter
Print Profile(2)
Bill of Materials
- Slingshot Bands x 1: High-strength slingshot elastics for the Shadow Hunter Slingshot. These are not included in the 3D print files and need to be purchased separately. I used standard slingshot bands available on Amazon, compatible with the design’s attachment points.

The Shadow Hunter Slingshot is a modern and compact slingshot designed to combine power and precision with an ergonomic form factor. The grip ensures stability during the strongest shots, and the ergonomic handles are **removable**, allowing them to be adapted to user preferences or easily changed. The fork is compatible with flat bands; during tests, I achieved distances exceeding 50 meters, demonstrating the real functionality of the project
The model includes an **integrated sight**, positioned on one of the two **Attack for Band**, which allows for improved aiming. The sight is printed without colored dots or inserts, but small pieces of filament can be added as visual references
The project also includes a **file for 3D printing the shooting balls** (10 mm in diameter), although for optimal performance, it is advisable to purchase those available on the Bambu Lab website. Within the same file, there is a **ball container** that can hold up to 100 balls, making it easier to store them and use them individually without having to pick them up by hand
For decorating the handles, I used **two SVG files** to create complex and detailed patterns, which give the slingshot a modern and refined look
Among the necessary **additional parts** are M3 screws and M3 nuts, available for purchase on the Bambu Lab website, slingshot bands available on Amazon, and shooting balls (I recommend a diameter of 8mm or larger; I personally prefer a 10mm diameter)
If you love modern slingshots like the **Simpleshot Scout LT2 Pro** (which inspired this model), you will find the Shadow Hunter a valid 3D printable alternative, with the satisfaction of building and customizing it from scratch

How to Assemble the Elastics on the Shadow Hunter Slingshot
During printing, at the points where the **band attachments** are located, the print will automatically pause: insert an M3 nut into the center of the project, then resume printing to complete it
Loosen the screw slightly to **widen the slot**, to prepare for fastening the elastic
Insert the end of the elastic into the slot. Make sure it is straight and insert it until you reach the screw. Do not push further; this is enough to secure it correctly
Screw in the screw and tighten it firmly: the fastening is complete, and there will be no issues during use
