Thats neat. Have you done any match as to what a full sized machine would be able to throw both weight and distance? and would it rival the catapults of that time?
zenTaurus21 The tensioned arms do take some of the load, you can see this during tightening as they flex inwards slightly. We tried using fishing line also but due to the scale of the model it was not able to take the load
YTEngineer i acknowledge the challenges of using different materials. thanks for the fast reply and more power to you! looking forward to more da vinci replicas. ^_^ cheers!
nice 3d printed model tho this is a variant based on his design. wood and twine would be so much more satisfying to build :) if Da Vinci had rubber, who knows what he could've came up with?!

I'm sure that Leonardo would be very enthusiastic about these scale models. So am I.
not quite true to the original design? rubber band instead of tensioned arms?
