Introduction
- One of my Instagram followers suggested I become Spiderman as a joke, so I designed these webshooters!
- This version was loosely based off the webshooters in Andrew Garfield's version of The Amazing Spiderman:
- The crown is pressable and turns too!!!
Features
- 2 ways to shoot the web
- by pressing the button or tying a “trigger loop” to activate the button (as shown in gif)
- Shoots about 1m away (2 if you flick your wrist as you shoot)
- Includes a “Winder” tool to help you neatly wind the cord back after shooting
- If you find winding the coil too tedious, it will still work without the cord attached to the “Crown Dial”
- Basically just shoots the projectile without the cord
Required Tools
- Wire cutters (for trimming spring lengths)
- Not needed if you buy 50mm springs from the start
- Super glue (cyanoacrylate)
- Lighter (optional for sealing knots as you can use glue instead)
- Sewing kit (for sewing elastics for wrist mount)
- Tweezers (recommended to make tying knots easier)

Step-by-step guide + Video
| Step 1: Support Removal Parts with supports: |
| Step 2: Glue magnets - Alignment is pretty self explanatory, just make sure they attract to each other.
|
| Step 3: Glue “Tube” to "Body" - Ensure the notches line up (Blue arrow).
- Glue spots (Red dots).
|
| Step 4: Remove brim and deburr “Crown Dial”. |
| Step 5: Tie string to the button - I used a lighter to seal the knots but you may use glue.
- Ensure the knots are below the blue line (last picture).
|
| Step 6: Glue Springs to button |
| Step 7: Insert Button |
| Step 8: Insert screws - Note, if the 50mm spring gets stuck often (next step) you might want to back out the screws like half a turn.
|
| Step 9: Insert Spring and Crown Dial to test action - Press the button fully then insert the 50mm spring down the tube.
- When the button is released, the spring should be trapped and the button should still be slightly depressed.
- Insert the "Crown Dial"
- When the “Crown Dial” is fully inserted, the button should pop up fully, holding it in place
- Press the button or pull the 2 loose strings to test if it shoots.
|
| Step 10: Loosely tie the 2 loose strings (you will attach the trigger loop onto this later. - I used a lighter to seal the knots but again, you may use glue.
|
| Step 11: Glue 1.5m of Nylon cord and magnet to crown dial. |
| Step 12: Thread 1.5m Nylon cord attached to the “Crown Dial” through the body and tie the end. - There are 2 holes in the bottom of the tube to tie off your cord.
- I used fire to seal the knot but you may use glue.
|
| Step 13: Sew the elastic bands onto the “Wrist mount”. - You might want to measure and ensure they're tight enough before doing this.
- I found that 3-4 fingers should fit without stretching the elastic for me.
|
| Step 14: Measure and tie a trigger loop for your middle finger. - This may require some trial and error.
|
| FINAL STEP: Winding the string. - Insert the “Winder Core” and neatly coil all the string.
- Use the “Winder Pusher” to help push the coil into the cartridge, then pull out the “Winder Core”.
- There will be a bit of cord left that didnt fully seat into the cartridge, so twist them up and stuff them in.
NOTE: - When winding the string, start from end closer to the “Crown Dial”
- NOT the end that is tied to the body
