Snail pull toy

thingiverse

Ballschnecke toy inspired by a classic 1980s plaything, where a spinning sphere inside the snail's body creates a mesmerizing effect when moved. Notes: A transparent acrylic sphere filled with small toys can replace the printed sphere for an added twist. The full-scale sphere has a diameter of 110 mm; scale down the entire model according to the chosen sphere's diameter. The completed model measures approximately 22.5 cm in length and 15 cm in height. The scaled-down model shown is printed at 40% scale, resulting in a length of about 9 cm. Wheel axles can be crafted from nails; however, the axle holes may need to be drilled out depending on the axle's diameter. The two body halves must be glued together with the sphere already in place.
