# Pasco Projectile Launcher Clamp
We use the Pasco projectile launchers stood up on the floor in a lab with 16 students all shooting the 1" bearings directly upwards randomly. It's too much to keep an eye on them all. We wanted a small base that would prevent the launcher from easily tipping over as the string connected to the release mechanism is pulled. If the launcher tipped the bearing could unintentionally hit someone, which would not be good.
The holder I came up with is in two parts just to make it printable with no supports and also strong enough to not break easily.
The top should be printed on its end while the bottom should be printed flat, the same orientation as it is used in.
## Printing

I used 3 shells and 15% infill with a gyroid infill.
## Putting it together
The parts are designed to take four #8 wood screws (I think I used 1 to 1 1/4" long) and I scre
