String "Climbing" Toy

myminifactory

String Climber Toy Utilizes Dual Spool Design to Mimic String Climbing Action. This intricate toy doesn't actually climb the string, but rather creates a convincing illusion of doing so. The design features 12 distinct components (a total of 17 parts) that come together seamlessly once embroidery floss is purchased and assembled. Upon completion, the String Climber Toy showcases its "String Climbing Mechanism," providing valuable insight into how these types of toys have functioned for over a century. A prototype video can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60q-28NenRQ. The toy was created using Sketchup Make 2016 software and printed in PLA on an Ultimaker 2 Extended 3D printer.
