More information
This is a simple to print, simple to build toy “Hopper”. Once assembled you pull the string to build up potential energy then let go to see it fly!
Build Instructions:
• Print 3 Legs, 2 TopBottom, and 1 cap. • I would suggest PETG to start as PLA could shatter. • Use .15 layer height and 100% infill. • Mount the “TopBottom” to the arms with cut filament. You will push the filament through the holes. • Use a warmed screwdriver to smoosh the extra filament caps into rivets. • Lace a string of your choice through the hole in the cap (you dont have to tie it). • Feed the string through the top hole and then the bottom hole. • Push the cap tight, the friction of the cap and string should make it a snug fit. If its loose, please use a little drop of glue to secure the cap. • You're done!
Use Instructions:
• Find a wide open empty space. • I HIGHLY suggest wearing eye protection. For children, always have them angle it away from eyes. • Pull the string down to make the legs flex into an outward facing C. • Once there is a lot of tension on the line and the Hopper is primed…. • Let go of the string! • Watch it fly!
I hope people can do remixes of the “Cap”. I think it could be awesom with different shapes, weight, and whistles.
Enjoy!
