Cougar Mascot Bobblehead

thingiverse

I crafted this cougar mascot bobblehead in our school colors, infusing it with personality. The model utilizes a compression spring that I sourced from Uxcell (5.5 x 0.5 x 42mm/0.22" x 0.02" x 1.6"(ODWire DiaL)), purchased through Amazon.com at $7.48 for a pack of 20, which may require adjustment depending on the spring used. The spring was securely attached to the head using hot glue, then slipped over a peg and glued firmly to the body. The result is a smooth, bouncy motion. This unique figure combines elements from various sources, including the body from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1220886, the paws and tail from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:182323, and the head from a finger puppet model not available on Thingiverse.
