Hoop Glider Launcher

This is a hoop glider launcher powered by rubber bands, designed by me. It works with the 3d printed hoop glider attached in the files tab, or even better, paper airplanes. The launcher can launch both about 20 feet. Feel free to experiment with different rubber bands. This can be printed fully in PLA with minimal supports and no rafts. For me, the total print time was about 4 hours.

If you don't want the extra print time, the hoop glider flies very well on its own, printing in about 25 minutes.
Also attached are the Fusion 360 files for the 80mm hoop and the rod if you want to customize them.
