Fully 3D Printed Roly-Poly Toy: A Marvel of Modern Engineering. The Science behind these toys is fascinating, and can be explored in depth at Wikipedia's comprehensive article on the subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roly-poly_toy. Watch as my very own 3D printed toy wobbles with mesmerizing precision in this captivating video: http://youtu.be/j-CyUl7EjjQ. To create your own Roly-Poly wonder, follow these directions carefully: Print the top piece as hollow as possible, without any infill whatsoever. You may need to adjust your print speed significantly to avoid warping issues. In contrast, print the bottom piece with the highest density setting available, striving for 100% or more if possible. The goal is to achieve a substantial weight difference between the two pieces, which will greatly enhance the toy's wobbling effect. For optimal results, consider sanding or smoothing the bottom piece to minimize any irregularities and maximize the toy's wobble potential. The stunning images of my 3D printed Roly-Poly models showcased here were created by yours truly.
