The Doom Trebuchet!

For my 100th Open Source project posted here to Thingiverse (Yay!!!!!!), I wanted to make something for the community here that is pure fun. And what could be more fun than something that will fling a gummy bear across the room with enough force to slightly dent a wall (maybe, if you look really really hard?)?

This is designed to use a whole pile of fender washers, some string, some metric bolts, a few bearings, some tape, some wire and a few heat set inserts to create the weapon feared by medieval ant castles throughout Europe!

At any rate, please enjoy, and thank you for liking and supporting all my other work. It means a lot to me that people enjoy the things I create, and your comments and messages over the years have been great encouragement. This ones for you guys!
