Spring Pikachu

Inspired by the spring cat, a spring Pikachu model was created.

Here's the creation process:

1. Python code was written using DeepSeek R1 to generate thin-plate spring STL files. Parameters such as spring thickness, radius, and number of coils can be adjusted within the code; ask AI if you're unclear.
2. Import the generated STL file as a negative part into your slicer software to cut the base model and create the spring segments. You may need to modify the spring thickness, number of coils, etc., in step 1 based on the slicing results.
3. Create another cylindrical negative part and place it in the center of the spring to prevent adhesion in the center.

A downloadable zip file is available, containing the Python code and the thin-plate spring STL file used in this project. Happy printing!
