Modular Origami "Gyroscope"

thingiverse

Designing a modular origami gyroscope began after crafting paper versions for math class decorations. Next, I created 3D-printed ones. Print six pieces and assemble them, possibly using low-heat settings or hair dryers to increase flexibility for easier assembly. Upon completion, you can also melt the connection points' plastic to prevent disintegration. Later on, print six pieces and combine them. Heat guns set at very low temperatures or hair dryers may help the components bend smoothly, ensuring successful assembly. After attaching the sections, it's a good idea to soften the material at the joints by applying heat, thus ensuring they won't detach. Print 6 parts first, then assemble these components together; if needed, a low-heat heat gun or hair dryer will aid in achieving easy connections between parts during construction. To begin, I constructed the design after seeing paper examples made for a math class assignment. Later on, designing 3D printed versions ensued. Start by printing six of the pieces before you proceed to connect them. If they need bending, utilizing low-heat tools such as hair dryers or heat guns is necessary. First off, building modular origami gyroscope involved creating prototypes from paper for use in math class, after which designing a 3D version occurred naturally. For assembly, first print six individual parts then put them together by warming the plastic material so that the joined sections do not split apart easily during manipulation.
