Summary

This monkey will fling things over it's head and into a target (if you're any good). Print a couple and use them as a fun game for kids. The ammo can be anything you like, coconuts, bananas, or even monkey dung!

Can be printed without support.

Inspired by the game 'Coconuts', I wanted to see if I could make my own monkey from scratch. Created solely in Sketch-Up.

==UPDATE==
It seems that too many rubber bands or excessive use can lead to his head falling off! To eliminate this I am redesigning the join so it is more robust. I have also improved the throwing angle to be more vertical, and made the hands more cupped to hold the projectile's better. The fixed models are suffixed with v2.

Note, due to printer issues I have been unable to test v2, so let me know if there are any issues.
