Printed with HEX fill at 15% density.The green, red and blue rings (rings 3, 4 & 5) printed in translucent TPU filament HEX/TRIANGLE fill at 10%.The small pink ring (Ring 6) is 4 rings together. Starting at 75mm and dropping 10mm for each ring. I could have printed them seperately, but I was concerned about size to small for an infant.The platter, rod and cap originally had threaded end's. Even printed in PLA the threads were to small to work. Switched to hole and peg and glued them together.The internal hole of all rings is 27.5mm dia and the base, rod and cap is 26mm dia. I would increase the ring hole to an even 28mm. My grand-daughter had issue lifting ring 1 and 2 (weight) and getting these onto the base, but she figured it out over time.Post processing of all the rings (TPU) I use an open flame to "glaze" over the print for a shiny finish (see photo's). I did the same for the base (PLA) but this didn't have the same effect. I used a gneric contact adhesive to glue the base, rod and cap together.In total I'd say project time was one week, including glue dring time.Grand-daughter loves it and carries the thing around the house when she's over :D
