Thingiverse User Creates Q-tip Shooting 3D Printed Mini-Crossbow - 3DPrint.com
Some say quite simply that if you can shoot a gun or fire off an arrow, you can use a crossbow. That makes sense—but how is your aim with a barrette and a Q-tip? These are the questions DIY archer and Thingiverse user Steven Thone poses to you with his 3D printed mini-crossbow.
Most hunters and enthusiasts know it’s a different kind of individual who carries a crossbow — a hunter’s hunter. The archer has also commanded some recent celebrity with the uber hip, steady confidence of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, and the tough-as-nails hunter and tracker Darryl Dixon in The Walking Dead, whose dead-on accuracy with the crossbow has made his character into something of a brooding hero.
It’s no surprise that one of the latest fun projects sprouting up all over the web has been the DIY mini-crossbow made with popsicle sticks, bottle caps, and now some even more unique items.
I’m sure the ever-practical Katniss would respect the hair clip, I mean, um, bow — not to mention the extra Q-tips which always come in handy when you are trying to survive in the wild. This 3D printed mini-crossbow was constructed by Steve Thone, who is definitely an individual not afraid to try a DIY project, large or ‘mini.’ As with the construction of remote operated vehicles, which is his specialty, when Thone sees something he thinks might be fun to try, he likes to try and make it himself. This mini-crossbow came with some of his own modifications, by including not only a real, working trigger, but also a little delicate engineering.
Thone points out that he printed the crossbow upside down with the handle pointing down, with minimal supports. Using a 2/56″ x 1/2″ screw to hold the trigger in place, Thone used metal hair clips for the bow and Q-tips for the arrows.
The 3D printed crossbow is able to shoot about 20 feet, according to Thone, who says that depends on the hair clips used.
The archer has always been considered to be a noble marksman with mythological proportions. Hair clips, Q-tips, and all — this might not quite reach godlike potential, but it is epic in creativity, humor, and best of all — good, safe fun.

US Air Force to test rocket factory in a box
An American company is 3D printing solid rockets from a portable factory concept, and the US Air Force is going to test it. What is a solid rocket? Why print them in a box?
Read on to find out.
In general, rockets and rockets can be divided into two types depending on their fuel. These are solid propellant rockets and liquid fuel rockets.
Liquid propellant rockets require a large number of pumps and other turbomachines to move the fuel from the tanks to the combustion chamber. They also require specialized and often cryogenic handling equipment to be filled on the ground. Keeping them is also a nightmare. On the positive side, you can adjust them, turn them off and restart again and again.
On the other hand, solid propellant rockets are basically just a big fireworks display consisting of a tube filled with hardened, tar-like propellant mixed with an oxidizer.
Once this solid propellant is ignited, it simply burns through the resin, creating thrust, until it burns. It's hard to turn it off and also hard to restart even if you somehow disabled it.
Like fireworks, solid propellant engines are easy to store. That's why they are used for missiles.
But despite their relative simplicity, they are still very expensive due to chemical mixing processes and curing times. One company in America is aiming to change that with 3D-printed solid propellant and the "rocket factory in a box" concept, and researchers at the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) are keen to play with it.
X-Bow Systems Inc (pronounced "crossbow") is an Albuquerque company that has been in business since 2016. Until the beginning of this year, they worked in stealth mode, and it turned out that they received funding from Lockheed Martin. develop your concept further..
The problem with missile and missile factories is that they take time to get going.
This is not what the US Air Force wants to respond to.
They would rather have mini-factories available to be deployed in potential hotspots, or actually launch satellites into space from different locations in a short amount of time, sort of like in an RTS video game, building rockets on demand.
Consisting of four 20' shipping containers, the factory-in-a-box (currently Pathfinder 1) consists of a control room, a production room, a material storage room, and an air and air supply room. everything works.
Materials are printed and cured in less than 1 day and the system can currently produce hundreds of pounds of inert solid propellant.
“The significance of this technology and what it can do to provide tactical access to space, increase the resiliency of the solid propellant industrial base and production capacity, reduce design and production times, and radically reduce the cost of hypersonic, tactical missiles, missile defense and other commercial applications are now a significant step closer with this AFRL-supported initiative,” said Jason P.
Hundley, CEO of X-Bow.
"We look forward to demonstrating its capabilities and further collaborating with AFRL Edwards in radically advancing the solid rocket motor development paradigm."
This manufacturing method is said to have the potential to reduce the cost of manufacturing solid fuel engines, so they will be 80-90% cheaper than engines currently manufactured at the factory.
