Rotating Halves!

Rotating Halves!

thingiverse

This remix of BoldPrintShop's destiny ghost allows the two halves of the sphere (ghost) to spin independently!! Glue the top of the flower light in place on the front half sphere and glue the new knob to the bottom of the light, pop it into place on the back sphere, twist the light back together, and voila! (you don't need any pins) I used blender to pull a flair on the knob so it can be pushed into place but wont come out (without breaking something). Once glued to the flower light, the screw in the light will hold it together and the back section spins freely - making this build even more incredible. I don't know any tolerances, but I was prototyping at .4mm layer height, and after a few iterations was happy with this. It takes some force to push in and I broke one at 10% infill, but experienced no issues at 20%. I didn't need a raft or supports, but did experience awful stringing though that's most likely because I was rushing prints trying to get the size right not caring about print quality for the tests. I've also attached the stl containing all the black pieces but with the original knob removed.
