Model Of A Chair (Build Up With "Sticky"-Components)

grabcad

"Sticky" is a children's toy constructed from plastic components designed to foster spatial imagination through building simple orthogonal models based on personal ideas. This nostalgic recreation brings back memories of playing with identical parts that helped create early 3D models before receiving LEGO as a gift. Although a seemingly basic concept, it serves to demonstrate the potential for encouraging children's creativity in spatial thinking during the late 1950s. Each stick-shaped piece features a nominal diameter of 12mm, an axial hole with a nominal diameter of 4mm, and an axial pin with the same size. The radial pins and holes have a pitch of 12.1mm and a nominal diameter of 4mm respectively. The length of each stick depends on the number of radial features, for instance, four radial features would result in a total length of 48.4mm (4 x 12.1mm). However, this toy is not suitable for children under three years old. The shared model displays a chair, but there are numerous other possibilities to create more intriguing models. Furthermore, the simplicity of the base part in "Sticky" suggests potential enhancements to the geometry or scaling to different stick diameters. The complete model is available in STEP file format for the assembly and native files in zipped folders for PTC Creo Parametric 2.0 users.
