2/8/2021: Update, I've added a fletching model for the arrows.
So during the Pandemic, it's important to keep your friends close, and your crossbow closer!
This is a remix of the western style crossbow, with improved limbs, laser sight, bandolier, and bolt tips. A brace for the handle has also been added.
Additionally, I have used the Ender 3's default bed spring for the trigger (perfect fit) and scrap leather to wrap the handle.
Note: You must drill pilot holes in the crossbow body to attach the bandolier. For M6, this is approx. a 5mm or 7/32" dia. Just locate the bandolier and mark the hole locations.
Remember, you will never, ever point this at anyone (excluding zombies during a home invasion of course).
Models Include:
Crossbow Handle Brace - Creates a mount for the remix handle (link below).
Reflex Limb - The smaller ends speed up the shot, string can easily be adjusted or removed. I'd suggest printing these with solid PETG for mechanical performance.
Bolt Tip - Fit a .25" dia shaft. Good TPU filament candidate.
Bandolier - Holds three .25" dia arrows plus a laser sight & forward grip.
Additional Models Required (Note that some of these must be scaled to 200% as per their links)
