I made this mini crossbow just for fun so I can shoot at things with toothpicks. The springs used on my crossbow come frome a large spring from an old wind up clock wich had snapped. the wire used was just one I had lying around. The arrows are toothpicks. The dimensions of the mini crossbow are roughly 55mm by 42mm and 12mm high. All parts are printed with my HE 3D Reprap Prusa I3. The crossbow is entirely designed by me.thing files can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2710472video of this thing firing toothpicks can be found here (240 fps):

I use a little spring to push the pushbutton back to it's original place after its is pushed.
The shaft where the triggers rototate around is made out of a nail.
