"Nimble 'Nubis" Jig-Doll/Limberjack

prusaprinters

This is a JigDoll. You will need a 9mm dowel and a thin, springy board to use it. There is a short video to show what it does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g22-15_zhsE.It is a print-in-place -  just make sure your adhesion is good.   I used paint-on supports for the hollows in the back and I've printed at both 0.15mm and 0.2mm without problems.I've made two versions, one with an extra joint at the ankles (like the 1920s Mr Jollyboy) and one without, which is more common these days. I find they each need their own approach to getting a good, clean rhythm.It is designed as a fun thing for music, so I cannot vouch for the strength of the joints in the hands of children (the joint-spindles are around 3mm diameter).Please look online for examples of them being used.Also please be aware that they can really distract attention from good live musicians, so use sensitively.
