Barbie Pommel Horse

My daughter requested a Barbie Gymnastics set from Target for her birthday, so I purchased the one she wanted (https://www.target.com/p/barbie-174-careers-gymnastic-coach-dolls-playset/-/A-52607245#lnk=sametab) and was thoroughly disappointed. Determined to do better, I created this Pommel Horse, a Spring Board, and a Balance Beam to make an exceptional DIY playset. Balance Beam: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2574795 Spring Board: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2576832 This Pommel Horse is a fine, fairly scale-sized model that demands a print bed with ample space for the 180mm long body. The legs and feet are identical to those used in my Balance Beam design. The body requires supports to prevent sagging of the leg pockets. The interior features built-in ribs to allow for a hollow structure while still supporting the top curve of the body. It took over 10 hours to print, but the body is surprisingly lightweight and didn't waste an excessive amount of filament.
