Crossbow
We wanted to make a more modern crossbow.
Supplies
3D printer
CAD designing software
screwdriver
eye hooks
drawstring
nerf bullets
We found a design/model for a medieval-style crossbow, and our goal was to combine the old model with parts of a more modern design
Also, make sure to print out most of the parts for the medieval design,
except for its back piece (new one with handle) and bow wings
Take the right or left shell half and install the internal components into it, including the Action Pins, Trigger, Lockwheel A or B, PETG Flat Spring, and Dart Retainer.
another note: The middle piece can be iffy when printing out (we dont know if it was a design problem or a printer problem)
Put on the Side Plates and secure them by sliding the Short & Long Wedges through the crossbars. Make sure the wedges are slid in with the flat side up. Repeat on the other side of the crossbow and then set this entire assembly aside.
Drill holes for eye bolts to use as a drawpoint for the crossbow
Combine the newly improved longer wing into the front slot of the medieval crossbow.
Connect this new stock piece to the middle piece
Use the stock butt pin to connect the stock butt cap and piece, and then you’re left with the finished product.
