Daruma Otoshi

Daruma Otoshi, a time-honored Japanese game of skill, involves stacking round blocks on top of each other in a single column. At the very pinnacle, a serene daruma sits in meditation. The term Otoshi translates to falling. In a manner reminiscent of Jenga, the objective is to strike the bottom block with precision using the mallet, ensuring that the layers above remain upright. The challenge lies in removing one piece at a time without triggering a cascade. I recall fond memories of these toys from my childhood. They would emerge during special occasions and whenever we had exhausted our Gameboy's batteries. The model measures approximately 7.75 inches tall by 2 inches in diameter when the mallet is securely holding the five blocks in place. This design can be easily scaled up for larger versions. To enhance structural integrity, it is essential to print the hammer with a higher infill density.
