Hi Mates,
I promised a time ago a thread about a 3D printed slingshot. Now it's time to share. I finished a short video and my tests. It was pretty long time to get in line with this stuff and still not ready totally but only minor changes left.
This slingshot uses "palm support" a kinda invention. I had some problems with finger support and pinch grip with slingshots and tried to look for new solutions, this came out. It's strange for the first, but gives less tremors on hand during shooting. 2 hours or 150-200 shots in one set is still comfortable with this at least for me.
The main benefit is the extreme low force lever between attachment and hand contact points. There's no pinky hole but the same effect appearing at the inner bottom side of the slingy.
The first printed version was Palm Support only, but changed my mind to build it for pinch grip also.
"Bugsy" the name comes from the bug-back like shape and the gangsta-style shooting position (only). The weapon like grooves referring to the gangster called Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel.
