The prompt

Create a 3D model of a popsicle stick catapult. Base consists of a square frame measuring 114mm by 114mm made of 10mm wide by 2mm thick wooden craft sticks, with 3 stacked layers on the side rails. Two triangular A-frames stand 98mm high on opposite sides of the base. A horizontal crossbar 114mm long bridges the top of the A-frames. A single 114mm throwing arm rotates around a central axle stick, with a 30mm diameter cylindrical cup attached to one end.
