GOPO Mik-1 Slingshot
Description
PRINT AND USE AT YOUR OWN RISK Not being a pro shooter, I was looking for a slingshot that was rather versatile and not to big and easy to carry around. I ended up designing my own slingshot, based on different other designs I tested, I am very pleased with the result. I proudly share with you the ‘GOPO Mik-1’ Features: – TTF and OTT – Accepts Flat bands and tubes – Aiming groove (for TTF flatband and tube) – Wrap and tuck or screw clips for band attachment – Pinch grip and hammer grip (although rather small for hammer grip) – Dimensions: 131 mm x 97 mm x 18 mm Extra components for clips: – 2 x M6x30 bolt – 2 x M6 nut The fork ends are designed with a straight uninterrupted 25 mm edge so the bands can be installed without any wrinkle. One side there are grooves in the fork to attach the bands for TTF shooting, the other side for OTT shooting. To attach the bands, you can use the wrap and tuck method or the clips and knobs I designed for easy install and release. The size of the knobs is perfect to manipulate by hand and not to over-tighten the bands, I never had a band coming loose during use. Currently my preference is to use the clips over the wrap and tuck method. When removing the clips, you can install round tubes using the 6,5 mm holes. Everything was printed with PETG (60% infill) on a CR-10 Mini. The ‘GOPO Mik-1’ was printed flat without supports, the clips and knobs were printed with the hex pocket up and with supports. Beside the stl files for the slingshot, knobs and clips, you will also find the stl for the pouch I used, you can use it as a template to copy the shape on a piece of leather. For ammo I use 9,5 mm wooden balls, these are light and environment friendly, I only shoot at dead objects, not at living species. HAVE FUN!
