Salt and Pepper Wobbler

thingiverse

This is a salt and pepper cellar in the form of a toy that wobbles. You need two halves to create one wobbler, preferably printed in black and white since the number of holes is equal (and hidden) and cannot indicate whether it contains salt or pepper. Magnets per wobbler: 8 x [4mm diameter, 2mm height, polarization direction: polar]. Printer Settings: Ultimaker Original, no rafts or supports. Notes: Higher infill is better; rough resolution is okay; smooth convex outer surfaces make post-processing easy. Post-Printing: Glue in magnets and polish if desired. For one wobbler, you will need to buy eight magnets with a diameter of 4mm and thickness of 2mm. These magnets must be magnetized axially, with north at the bottom surface and south at the top surface. The magnets at the sharp ends of both halves of the wobbler should have one polarity sticking outwards, while the magnets at the flat ends of both halves should have the other polarity sticking outward. Be sure to use the correct polarity when gluing in the magnets, as this cannot be undone. To glue the magnets, you can use cyanoacrylate (superglue) with toothpicks. Avoid getting glue on the hull. The wobbler in the photographs was printed with PLA plastic and polished using methyl-ethyl-ketone (MEK), also known as Butanone.
