The Crossbow Helper Kit is now depreciated. Please see my new project for a full 3D printable crossbow called TALC. The project is found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:187718

Please use proper safey equipment before using any of these parts and check local laws. Most of these parts have not been properly tested. Although I have printed a few of them off. It is your responsibility to ensure the safety of the parts you build.

I am attempting to create a crossbow that can be created solely on a 3D printer. The purpose of the crossbow is for backyard fun only. In other words, simple target shooting. I am releasing this kit to aid others who are creating a wooden/metal/other materials homemade crossbow. Such as the designs you will find on The SlingShot Channel: http://www.slingshotchannel.com/. This is not a universal crossbow kit. It is just parts from my project. Such parts that you may or may not find useful.

What is this kit?

TALC Kit: Lite Edition

TALC stands for TActical printabLe Crossbow kit.

This is not a full crossbow kit. This is an aid kit only to help in the construction of a crossbow. That's why it is called lite edition. Some of the parts may not be useful for your project but you may find something.

All parts were drawn using FreeCad. Which is a free application. http://www.freecadweb.org/

What is included in this kit?

I have included all stl, step and fcstd files for each part. So feel free to modify them. If you do decide to use some of my parts in your design, please credit appropriately. All parts are released under the GNU GPL License.

Crossbow Parts Include:
-Stock and stock extension
-Tactical Foregrip
-Simple Trigger
-Moveable Bipod Stand
-Tactical Rail System
-Handle
-Simple Sight
-Untested but I have also created a mockup of the roller system (platform and rollers) used in the Strong Bullpup Slingshot Crossbow designed by JoergSprave from The SlingShot Channel.

I will update and add more parts as I finish them.

Cheers;
Anthony

Parts like the stock or handle can be printed at 0.25 layer height. I recommend using support material if available.
