Nerfslinger X-Bow || Print-in-Place
I've seen all kinds of print in place compliant shooters, but none for Nerf darts, so I wanted to design one for myself. This one also has built-in flip-up front and rear sights!

I recommend printing this in PETG for the compliant springs and durability. This thing can slap! Therefore disclaimer:
Use at your own risk! This thing contains moving parts at tension that can bang hard and are 3d-printed plastic, so keep that in mind.
After printing, cut and file away any possible bridging artifacts from the front arch and the dart bay so they don't rip your dart's foam. The smoother those parts, the better the darts fly!
