Re: Why bother with 3D printing
The tool that we call a slingshot in North America is called a catapult in the UK ... or, rather, it was when I was a kid in the UK. Perhaps things have changed?
Here in North America, a catapult is a class of siege engine popular before the backwards Europeans stole knowledge of gunpowder from the Chinese by way of the Mongols. It is also a term used for the tool used to launch aircraft from aircraft carriers.
Some people call a line with a weight connected to it that is thrown from a boat to shore (or another boat) and then used to pull a heavier line across, a slingshot. This use is somewhat archaic ... or rather, I get funny looks whenever I use the term down on the waterfront.
That should about cover it ... waddimiss?
