Catapult Construction Set

The intent here was to create an open ended construction toy to let my kids build and experiment with various types of catapults. The design is very similar to TinkerToys.

Parts are all easy to print, no supports necessary. Just clean up the peg holes if necessary so the dowel rods can slip in (the holes are tapered inward to retain the rods.) (Print out 1 before printing a set to see how it fits for you)

I strongly recommend using these rod lengths as a standard (designed to make 45-45-90 triangles so all lengths are useful)
