Bakugan G3 Power Ring {Customizable}

thingiverse

The third generation of Bakugan has reintroduced Special Attack Bakugan in a brand new way. Special Attack Gan can equip belt-like pieces to the toy called "Power Rings". I got really interested in these rings so I ended up designing a blank one with the intention of: - Being able to customize my own rings - Having a standard ring when storing Bakugan easily I made a few custom rings to get a feel of if it could work. One design I tested was based on the Pokemon Arceus' ring which I modeled from scratch in the same program. Another ring I made was based on Hammer Gorem's hammer that I modeled for another project. I also sliced a model from a plastic gen Beyblade, Trypio, and added it to my ring to see how it would work too. All rings I have made have been tested and will fit all Special Attack Bakugan, allowing them to spin and open perfectly. If you want to make your own, you can import the Blank Ring into a slicer of your choice and build around it. Here are a few notes: - I found that 75 mm/~3 inches is about the maximum width you can use to make sure your Bakugan can actually open on a gate card. - PLA is flexible enough to fit on the ring properly onto the Bakugan without breaking, falling off, or getting stuck. I printed these rings with Silk PLA to test, but any filament should work. I would recommend PLA or TPU. I printed these at 0.06 mm layer height at 205 F. Adding supports would be helpful due too the small tabs that are needed to stay in place on the Bakugan. I would love to see what people end up printing and creating. If you want to post any pictures, add them to the "Makes" tab. I am going to make more custom rings in the future and post them here too. Have fun and good luck creating!
