ONE PIECE, 3D printed CROSSBOW

Centuries ago, craftsmen as well as smiths of all kind spent numerous hours crafting a crossbow. From the fine craftsmanship that went into making the bow to the flawless smithing a windlass requires, a great deal of effort went into building a maker of war. considering that [Chris] has a 3D printer, he figured he might do just in addition to these long-dead craftsmen as well as fabricate a crossbow in under a day.

What’s truly fascinating about [Chris]’ crossbow is that it is only a single piece of plastic. The bow is integrated into the stock, as well as the activate works by some innovative CAD style that takes advantage of the bendability of plastic. The only thing needed to shoot a bolt from this crossbow is a piece of string. That, as well as a few chopsticks.

He won’t be taking part in any type of sieges, however [Chris]’ weapon is a lot more than capable of shooting a bolt across a space or introducing a balsa wood airplane. You can see an example of this after the break.
