I loved the desktop whomp rocket, but preferred the remix with the flex/TPU filament air pump since it was easier to use and launched farther in my testing. But I also wanted the angled launcher, since it was safer for kids since it is harder for them to launch the rocket on their own face… So I took the bases for the angled launcher and the flex/TPU pump launcher and remixed them together. I also added a little bit of reinforcement at the base of the launch tube so it would be harder to snap it off the base by accident.

Use thinner layers for the launcher tube to help with the overhang, but no supports are needed. For further instructions and print details, see the pages for the original models. The only original file here is the launcher itself: the TPU pump, rocket, and glider are the same files as in the original models. I simply added them here for convenience and in case they make changes over there.

I know my TPU  pump doesn't look very pretty, i rushed it a bit and need to reprint it with tweaked settings, but it is still functional :) Flies very well and goes surprisingly far (10+ meters)! Definitely more of an outdoor toy in my opinion, but small children (5 year old) couldn't launch it that far. 

---  Heed the warning on the pages for the original models: this can be a high speed projectile and should be used under adult supervision! ---
