Bobbling Death Star

prusaprinters

This is a bobble-head Star Wars Death Star model. This toy uses a 3D printed base and spring and has a recess in the base that will hold a 8mm magnet.The Death Star is printed in 2 parts and they will need to be glued together. Supports are only needed for the top half and you can use minimal infill (10% is fine).A tool to install the longer spring is included here, its use is recommended.Bobble-Head Assembly Tips:The spring hole in the Death Star is slightly large to aid assembly, but you should also clean up the square hole with an exacto knife to insure clean assembly. Install the spring into the top half first (crazy glue is recommended). Use of the spring tool is recommended as it protects the spring from being damaged.  Then glue the bottom half in place.  Finally, install the base onto the spring using pliers or a small screwdriver to seat the spring in the base (glue is usually not needed).This is based on two prints. First, the excellent Death Star model designed by Allofyoush (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2806914).The second print is from the bobble head prints designed by 3d-printy (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5409630) that supplied the original base and spring mechanism which have been modified to suit.May The Force be with you...Category: Mechanical Toys
