Puddle Jumper

thingiverse

Drawing inspiration from "Whirly One" by seedwire, I sought to recreate a childhood toy found on Thingiverse. Unlike other puddle jumpers, I desired one reminiscent of my cherished memories at the original FAO Schwartz. With a Replicator print featuring .27 layer height and 10% fill, no support required, and carefully cutting disks from blades to secure to the print bed, I spun this nostalgic toy between palms in a swift motion, reigniting my fascination with aerodynamics.
