Magna Structures

thingiverse

Start your day early, stretching yawns away, make a fresh cup of tea. Get creative and invent something new to amuse yourself. Print it out for your daughter as she wakes up, surprising her with a playful novelty. In the world through children's eyes, simple objects hold endless possibilities. Remembering a set of "Bucky Balls" on the fridge, you ponder their use. Instead of holding expired coupons and coloring pages, why not use them to connect things? Engaging in this new activity brings joy while inventing a fun toy. As you practice and experiment with your idea, a sense of accomplishment fills you. Sharing the experience, enjoyment is multiplied. Discovering an existing design on Thingiverse didn't deter you; your version felt unique enough to share. Aimed at ages 3 and above, remember safety first when handling magnets. To recreate this toy, search for "bucky balls" online, print the designs, and follow the instructions. Press the squeeze ball into a holder using a flat tool, ensuring it fits snugly within the bubble's shape. Trim the top layer of each bubble to enhance connections while maintaining the bubble's tapered design. Include the 45-degree triangles for added fun in building structures. Happy crafting!
