Daruma Otoshi - Japanese Traditional Toy

thingiverse

This is a model of a traditional Japanese kid's toy called the Daruma doll. Five pieces are stacked on top of each other, and players take turns trying to hit the bottom piece with a small hammer without knocking over the entire stack. A video explaining this game can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0UbuQJ4mNQ. Each of the six main game parts has a vertical hole running through its middle. This allows players to display the stacked pieces with the hammer running through the hole, keeping everything in place. The game consists of seven parts: 1. Top piece.stl The top piece should be printed with a decent infill weight of about 30g. Ensure the bottom surface is smooth by applying a coat of sand or paint. A black and red face design can be achieved by painting the surface as shown in the render. 2. Piece x5.stl Five of these pieces are required, each weighing around 12-15g. A 30% infill was sufficient for me, but smooth top and bottom surfaces are essential. Consider sanding them thoroughly to ensure a good finish, and painting them different colors to add an extra layer of fun. 3. Hammer - head.stl This piece is likely to see a lot of action, so it's recommended to print it with a high infill density to prevent breakage. 4. Hammer - handle.stl While this part can be printed, it's not necessary and may even be better replaced with a 5mm dowel rod, approximately 160mm in length.
