Overview

I created this alligator disk laucher by reverse engineering a pre existing toy. The process required the use of 3D printer, primer, paint, screws and a metal milling machine. Check out how it works on my Instagram @multidispy.

Key Features

Fully 3D Printed: The Model was fully developed on solidworks. Before production a solidworks assembly was created to ensure that the mechanism functioned to avoid wasted parts in production.
Mechanism: This toy features a spring loaded mechanism that projects a disk into the air. The mechanism is activated by a trigger featured on the tail.
Painting & Finishing: The Toy was sanded to remove layer lines from the print. Next, the toy was sanded a layer of primer was applied. The final step in the finish process was to apply two coats of Hardcore hi-gloss spray paint.
