Sphero Spring Shell #make5000

thingiverse

I'm thrilled to bring a revolutionary design to life for Sphero - my ultimate dream is to get hands-on with a custom-built shell like this. Based on what I've got planned, my shell will undoubtedly take Sphero to new heights. It will perform incredible feats: sudden, unpredictable jumps will add an element of surprise and fun. After taking flight, Sphero's landings will be just as breathtaking - crazy and thrilling. No matter where you're going or what obstacles lie in the way, this shell will take you on wild off-road adventures across even the most unforgiving terrain: sandy dunes, rocky outcrops, lush grasslands, and tiny hurdles. This design is more than a novelty; it offers an all-new challenge for Sphero programmers - they'll need to rise to the occasion. Ready to assemble? To get started, print two copies of this guide with detailed materials lists included. Then follow these simple steps: place eight high-performance 3x3x3 neodymium magnets securely in each of the small cubical holes surrounding the equator and ensure that the two hemispheres magnetically bond together flawlessly. Next up, carefully glue twenty-six robust metallic springs into position to help hold everything tightly in place. The final step: sit back and have an absolute blast - it's time to unleash your creative genius!
