Water Droplet Kinetic Sculpture

I crafted a mesmerizing water droplet desk toy that simulates the movement of a droplet landing in water when you turn the handle on its side. Inspired by this captivating video, I set out to bring this concept to life. Check out these engaging GIFs showcasing my creation from different angles: one from the side and another from directly above. I made an important update to ensure the center droplet is accurately proportioned to the rest of the model, addressing a previous issue that needed fixing. To make it easier for users to modify and customize their prints, I've added a STEP file containing all the pieces required. This should be helpful for those who want to experiment with different styles or print settings. Recently, I introduced two new features: the "Top Strip" and the "Middle Strip." These additions not only reduce the print time but also provide an alternative aesthetic that users may prefer.
