Plusbow Rev. 3

Plusbow Rev.3 Guide

Instructables Mirror

Design Goals

• Reduce Part count
• Two Options for Plunger tubes and Plungers (+bow or 2-11)
• Omni-directional catch
• Spring guide to remove "serpentine" behavior
• Ease of dis-assembly
• Limit screws to two lengths (1/2" and 1-1/2")
• "Check Valve" Plunger head
• Use of extension springs or rubber bands for catch (multiple configurations possible)
• "Ultra-Compressible" O-Rings
• NO MORE INTERNAL CUTS, that means no pilot holes, no feeding a scroll saw blade through a pilot hole. Every cut can be done with a scroll saw or a band saw.

Total Build cost: $70 (for one plunger tube type)

Sunk Cost per Plusbow: $25
