Quoted from Aniraf:

least possible force so that it won’t damage the ramp.

Yep, I took a (red?) spring, and just kept cutting it back until a full-force just kisses the top... No more fear of damage from nubs.
A few dozen plays later, it's still a hair more powerful than I want, but it's a super easy thing to keep adjusting.

I have no idea whether my trajectory is true or not inside the cab -- I never filmed it in slo-mo like you did.

(I'll leave this here, I just now re-read up a few posts and I see a few ppl have the opposite problem, oh well)

In order to not blow up the plastic ever again...

I just clipped my shooter spring until a full plunge BARELY makes it to the top, that way no visitor to the house could ever smash up the vortex again by accident. Permanent fix.
