Project Description

The Desktop Crossbow is a compact crossbow catapult that is small, fast, and space-saving, designed to be extremely fun to use even on a desk. Despite its small size, it offers great performance with a simple yet effective mechanism.

The main body was printed in PETG, which is recommended for better strength and durability, but the design also works perfectly well when printed in PLA.

The bow and the crossbow arm are strongly recommended to be printed in PETG, as both parts are subject to high mechanical stress during operation. PETG provides better flexibility and resistance compared to PLA for these critical components.

For the crossbow arm, it is also recommended to use a high infill with a gyroid pattern, increasing structural strength and reducing the risk of failure due to high stress.

The use of glue is recommended only for attaching the basket to the arm; all other parts are designed to be assembled without adhesives.

A perfect project for fun, experimentation, and showcasing the capabilities of 3D printing in a compact and engaging form.

Desktop Crossbow

🇮🇹 Project Description

The Desktop Crossbow is a crossbow catapult that is small, fast, and compact, designed to be extremely fun to use without taking up too much space. Despite its small size, it offers excellent performance and a simple but effective mechanism.

The main body was printed in PETG, a material recommended for greater strength and durability, but the design also works very well if printed in PLA.

The bow and the crossbow arm are strongly recommended in PETG, as both are subject to high mechanical stresses during operation. PETG guarantees better flexibility and resistance compared to PLA in these critical parts.

For the crossbow arm, it is also recommended to use a high infill with a gyroid pattern, so as to increase structural strength and reduce the risk of breakage due to high stresses.

The use of glue is recommended exclusively for gluing the basket to the arm; all other parts are designed to be assembled without the use of adhesives.

An ideal project for having fun, experimenting, and demonstrating the potential of 3D printing in a compact and captivating format.
