Nice work! Enjoy chucking your glowing projectiles :)

Printed 20 for stocking stuffers at Christmas.
I have a 14 foot catapult that can throw a pumpkin almost 3 football fields. This is something I hope to give to kids who what to start catapulting as well.

My son loves shooting pumpkins though the house, my wife not so much :D (edited)

In that case "I'm sorry" and "You're welcome" accordingly :)

@RandSchlemiel I love all the themed pumpkins and the customized base :)

Super fun I love the way the lever works.

Great design! Every time my daughter comes down to the basement (where I print stuff), we load up the pumpkins and go to town. Crazy enough, she started learning physics of it all (she is 2), and started moving the basket closer and farther, depending on how hard she was pressing on the catapult.

Really cool to see and thank you for your amazing designs.
