Split Basket for Pumpkin Chunkin Catapult

I split the target basket into several parts, so it can be printed in multiple colors without MMU requirements.

The original basket model is great, but I wanted to use it for a christmas event at work, and wanted it in more than one colors.

Since I don't have an MMU or similar multi-color printing option, I decided to split the basket model in two different ways, depending on how you might want to use it.

Rings, Base and Connectors

This is the remix I wanted to make, since I wanted the base in a nice green color, while the rings would alternate red-white-red.

This was done just with Prusa Slicer's own split tool with connectors, so be sure to do a test-fit before gluing, since I'm sure the connectors don't align with all the different rotations the ring can have.

The total connectors are 28, but you can also just print half that many or fewer and just use them for alignment and not specifically for the connecting part.

The tolerance for the connectors is 0.15mm, which should be just fine if your printer is tuned well.

If you find the connectors are too tight, just try scaling them down a tiny bit :)

Nested baskets

While doing the remix mentioned above, I thought that it might be useful to be able to nest the baskets, allowing the player(s) to add/remove some of them, to tweak the difficulty.

This also allows printing each basket in a different color.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Basket model is been split in two different ways:

  • Into nestable-baskets, allowing changing of difficulty, but also multiple colors
  • Into the rings and base, for printing in different colors.
