What you see ain’t always what you get

I printed  the Zheng mini defender, partially to test it for Wood Wars 3D.

The print looked good.
But it fired less good. 
I think the problem was the filament I used was drooly so the delivery mechanism didn’t move easily enough. However I also wasn’t sure what to string it with. I used floss. And the legs broke whilepositioning them. Whatever the reason this is going to need a little more engineering, I think.

Now, I should be clear, I’ve always admired Zheng’s work. So I have high hopes in borrowing his ideas to make something I can use in the future. Just not sure this one is it. I liked it because it seemed so simple, but maybe that’s not the solution I’m looking for.
