Macaroni-Gun

A fully 3D printed toy gun that shoots pasta.

The idea for this came up when I stumbled upon this meme:
https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/7cvvh4/pasta_la_vista/

A friend an I took upon the challenge to construct a device that can "shoot" macaroni pasta.

V0

This is the first version of a macaroni shooting device. It is very bad and the major problem with this, that macaronis are brittle and this version works by hitting it with a hammer. So the macaroni shatters and the force isn't transferred well.

V1 (work in progress)

This uses two flywheels made from TPU to softly grip the macaroni and accelerate it without shattering it. It and its internals are documented [here](https://barbisch.ch/projects/macaroni-gun/).
