Description

The jumping frog

Frogs are cool and making a 3D printable version that is able to jump was a fun project, so here you go. The back legs have 3 joints just like a real frog and can store up a fair bit of energy. The center spring is not necessary, but will increase the stability and jump distance of the frog.

Press down on the ”bottom” of the frog will dragging your finger off it and it will JUMP! Up to 1.2m/4 feet in total distance traveled, Its also kinda cute I guess.

Easy to print and assemble, for best results use 8mm or less layer height with no supports.

Both an AMS and nonAMS version is available for coloring the eyes.

Printables:

1x FrogMainBody or FrogMainBodyNoAMS
2x back-leg (1 mirrored)
2x front-leg (1 mirrored)
2x front-foot-bottom (1 mirrored)
1x center spring (not necessary)
2x frog-eye if NoAMS

Assembly:

1. Slot in the back legs in their appropriate slots, make sure they face the correct way. It should make a small “click”, you might have to press a bit

2. Slot in the front legs, you will have to turn them while applying preasure and then they should snap in to place.

3. attach the feet the front legs

4. if you want you can insert the center spring and apply preasure at one of the ends until you hear a click.

back legs pop when pressed :/ back holes are diagonally cut by the shape of the frog, makeing the ring around it to not be fully trapped

The back legs are supposed to move a bit in the socket, but should not easily fall out like you are describing. The back legs are easy to forcefully remove, but should not fall off during ordinary use. I’m sorry the print didn’t come out right, I’ll try and reprint and fix the issues you are having. Thanks for the feedback.

By the way, I loved the design, may have commented with a bit of frustration/disappointment but it's a great model! very happy with the result. I'm slowly narrowing the hole with thin lines of epoxy for a tighter grip, thanks!

Replying to @ulayera :

Thanks, although I feel terrible that it didn’t function as intended for you, any frustration you felt was fair. Currently trying to reprint it with legs increased in size by various amounts, until it fits every time, if that doesn’t work I’ll try and rework that part of the model. Hope the fix you're trying to implement works out.

@ValeriaMomo

nice!!

thank you!

@Omnis

Images are shown as broken inside the post. Also can this be printer without support, as so it seems to be the defaul profile.

The designer has replied

@andreas.hjorth.

I may be misunderstanding, but the frong is designed to be printed in multiple pieces. the is mostly to allow the springs in the back legs to be printed sidew, increasing the strength significantly. There is a guide to assembling the frog in the post. and yes, it shouldn’t require any supports. hope this answers the questions.
