Toy Plane Launcher Loader

This is a loading aid for the popular Toy Plane launcher that can be found all over Amazon. I created this model because my 4 year old son was struggling to pull back the pump and I wanted to make something so that he could load the toy himself.

The first design was a fully solid object but I didn't like how much material it used and how long it would take to print, so I set out on stripping the design down to a frame type design that can be easily assembled and disassembled to save on material, time, and space.

Assembly is pretty straight forward, the back piece has two edges that follow the profile of the top piece, and the frontside pieces will only go in one way to have the outer edges flush with the top and bottom piece.

I have also included 3mf's and STL's for a version with solid walls for a bit more rigidity and the full solid version for those that just want a no assembly, very rigid option. With the full solid, the strength is in the walls, as long as you keep the wall loop count at 4 or higher, you can drop the infill percentage to like 5% or probably lower and save quite a bit of time and material.
