Moai Bobble Head

prusaprinters

<p>This is an Easter Island Moai statue bobble head toy. &nbsp;This toy uses a 3D printed base and spring and has a recess in the base that will hold a 10mm magnet.</p><p>The Moai should be printed upside down, supports are not needed and you can use minimal infill (10% is fine).</p><p><strong>Bobble-Head Assembly Tips:</strong><br>The spring hole in the Moai is slightly large to aid assembly, but you should also clean up the square hole with an exacto knife to insure clean assembly. &nbsp;Install the spring into the Moai first (crazy glue is recommended). &nbsp;Use of the included spring tool is highly recommended as it protects the spring from being damaged. Finally, install the base onto the spring using pliers to seat the spring in the base (glue is usually not needed).</p><p>This is based on two prints. First, the excellent Moai print designed by cerberus333 (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1559944">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1559944</a>).</p><p>The second print is from the bobble head prints designed by 3d-printy (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5409630">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5409630</a>) that supplied the base and spring mechanism.</p><p>Enjoy!</p><p>Updated July 28, 2022: Completely new version uploaded with much improved lower center of gravity, new spring and spring installation tool (common also to my "Bobbling Tower of Pisa" model.</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p><p>Creality</p><p><strong>Printer:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Ender 5</p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Supports:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Yes</p><p><strong>Infill:</strong></p><p>10%</p><p><br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>No supports are needed. &nbsp;Print Moai body upside down.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Category: Mechanical Toys</p>
