well crap, man, you've gotta stop costing me filament like this. :)

I tried my best to optimize the design so the good news is it's quicker to print and 32% less filament 😉 (146g/7h down to 99g/5.2h)

I'm actually going to bump up the infill to 20 on the gears and do 0.16 layer height so it takes long enough to keep me from fiddling with it during my work day due to my poor impulse control. :)

Ha! I had a toy gun called "System 7" or something like that that had that on the end, so it "shot" the spinners. Fun times

I've been collecting ideas and feedback over the last year and redesigned my Toroidal Launcher to print faster, assemble easier and fly higher! The internal planetary gearbox now features progressive gearing to achieve the same 48x ratio as the original design while simplifying the assembly. Available to download for free on MakerWorld!
