Previous thread got hijacked - so started anew.

Finally screwed the final 4 brackets on and put the whole thing together

Can be easily carried by one person. No idea on total weight, probably 10kg ish. Might be less.
Still need to drill and hang the centre metal disc.

But other than that she's done
Threw some sockballs and tennis balls at it. The net just drops everything. No bounce back. needs more cable ties - but that's the work of a few mnutes.

Goes up and down in about 5 minutes. Fits in the car.
So I WILL be getting training in this year - even if just with tennis balls.
Fine with me

stl files for the flexi brackets available if anyone wants to make this and knows someone who has 3d printer.

Model agencies all refused to work for a bag of toffees. Luckily grizzly adams was passing and said he'd help
Not sure why he was wearing knee pads

when we get it out in a field, i'll get some video footage.
Now just need to find a good source (read cheap) for used tennis balls. You need the proper ones, the cheap dog ones just break too easily.

Nice job! That is real dedication right there. The fact that you designed and made your own brackets on a 3d printer is pretty amazing to me. Welcome to the 21st century.

Awesome. Such a great idea

C_A awesome work! I like it!

Very nice!  By flexi-bracket do you mean it needs to print with  ninjaflex?  Do you use Thingiverse or myminifactory to post your design files?

Not a big fan of ninjaflex. I am the reason they came out with semi-flex (kept running into janaan turner at a tct show, when nf had just come out and she was marketing manager, and I kept pointing out they needed something a bit stiffer. She never got round to sending me any, but did admit it was my idea)  but even that is somewhat problematical. 
I prefer flexible pla. It's stiffer, works great in my delta and is just ridiculously tough and real easy to work with.
The sienoc flexble pla, I'm currently using is every bit as good as polyflex, but less than half the price.
fantastic stuff.
The red bracket in the pictures is made from esun-flexible pla. It's a lot stiffer than any other flexible I've used. But works great for this kind of thing.

I do have some designs on thingiverse.
Pretty much just stuff I can't see any commercial value in

This is probably the oddest thing I've got on thingiverse

For the sling target brackets, I'd just email the two stl's.
Along with a list of required plumbing supplies.

As far as printing sling ammo with ninjaflex - what are you, made of money ? lol
That stuff is really bloody expensive and sling ammo always eventually gets lost.

I don't know of any public tennis courts round here. 
Must be a source of used balls somewhere. I'll keep looking.

ebay - got loads.

50 for £15 including p&p.
That'll work

Hell it'll be worth it just to see Dream's face when i open a box full of tennis balls. He won't know what do with himself. I'll have to let him steal at least 1.

Now I know why I got such a large canvas bag !

This is Dream:

it does depend on what you get.
The real cheap ones you get in the pound/dollar stores, just don't last more than a couple of minutes.
You need the actual meant for playing tennis with, tennis balls. Much much tougher.

Let us hope you don't hit the PVC piping with a big rock.

There's a youtube video with a guy who had a PVC framed target, and he broke one of the pipes within around two minutes of slinging.
