Toy Horse Jumps

<p>My daughter likes horses a lot, having whole herd of the model ones. So I created a set of horse jumps for her.</p> <p>Scale is (very roughly) 1:20, fitting the common horse figures.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Playsets Instructions</h3> <p>There are two variants, files for the simple one starting with A_ and for the more complex one with B_.</p> <p><strong>Variant A</strong><br/> To make one set of jumps, print 2x both of A_base.stl and A_post.stl. Put the notch in post to square hole in the cross base.</p> <p>You may want to print additional cross bases, because they may be used as separate risers for the cavalletti as a small jump.</p> <p><strong>Variant B</strong><br/> To make one set of jumps, print 2x each of B_base.stl, B_top.stl, B_post_1.stl and B_post_2.stl. This makes the square frame. To fill in the frame, the easy way is to print 2x B_side_full.stl and insert it to slit in the top and bottom part. The slightly harder way is to print 4x B_side_half.stl and put them back to back to create a crosshatch.</p> <p><strong>Crossbars</strong><br/> I didn't print the crossbars, because they're supposed to be round in shape and thus are hard to print. I used sticks of hot glue instead and instead of painting them, I used colored sticky tape to make the strips.</p> <p><strong>Additional tips</strong><br/> You may use hot glue or superglue to put the parts together permanently, but they should hold just fine without it.</p> <p>For added realism, you can print stickers with logos and stick them to square areas of side parts.</p> <p>Print mix of various types and combination. In real show jumping courses there are 7-16 jumps.</p>
