Here is one to try if you are interested.

Print the pdf at 100% and lightly glue to your choice of material to be cut then cut around the outside edges and file to the second lines depicting the fillet end contours.

Enjoy!

i just printed and cut it out going out to the shop to cut it out ill put pics on this topic of the vector and the last design you did thanks

 

[justplainduke]

Very cool

 

[Always_Running]

here are two of your designs and my pickle fork shooter

 

[justplainduke]

Wow, that's quick!

Remember that the two I designed WILL need slots for the band tie downs to keep the bands from moving off of the canted tips.
the grooves run parallel to the tip ends as shown in the 3d models. the grooves are apx 3/16 wide and 3/16 deep all of the way around.
I'm looking forward to your input after shooting these designs, as no one other than me has tried them yet.

 

[Always_Running]

ok im cutting the groves now

 

[Always_Running]

here are the groves ill put bands on in a little

 

[justplainduke]

Dammmmmmmnnn....You're a woodworkin' maniac!

Maybe you could give us a review and let us know how they shoot when you have the time, thanks.

 

[Always_Running]

the one on the right shoots perfect but the vector is a little hard to aim due to the angle of the forks

 

[justplainduke]

Oh yea, I forgot to mention....I don't aim

and all of my designs are best suited to a "Canted" (Or...sigh... "gangster") style of shooting.
No, really; I point and shoot and all of the designs that I employ are without any way or even fore-thought toward aiming. I have always done well gripping my frame in the same place relative to the bands and firing.
Please, Shoot them for a while and let us know more, I wish that I could be out shooting!!

Lol....yup, I'm busted! That's exactly what I was thinking when I drew it, I love that movie!
I kept thinking of the double "V" sign whe he said "vector, oh yea..."
Kind of sci-fi and fun. I don't know how well It will handle yet, but it's a fun design!

The Vector will surely NEED to be built from G10, micarta or similar!

 

[justplainduke]

I'd build the vector but I've been too enthralled shooting the Apex!
