Description

Discover the Magic of Physics with the Transforming Toy!

Experience the wonder of physics with this captivating toy that transforms effortlessly from a spiral into a tree-like shape. Simply rotate it between your fingers to witness the mesmerizing transformation!

You can use one of two print profiles and print it in 100% or 80% scale. It works on 70% as well, but the lettering can be too small to read.

Each piece is carefully numbered from 1 to 34, making assembly a breeze. Perfect for kids, adults, and anyone who loves hands-on fun combined with a touch of science. Assemble, twist, and enjoy the magic!

Assembly order:

You need to rotate 180 degree each following part, to create intersecting assembly.

You might also like the design below, as an alternative for the rounded spinners.

Printed perfect. When assembling, just make sure the numbered side is facing down the handle. once you get the hang of it, it spins perfectly!

yeah I made the mistake of putting them on upside down, but I didn't put the top on tight so easy fix 😂

almost impossible to read numbers with .4 nozzle. looks good in multicolor filement making it look like different colors for each layer. way to tight to put together needed sanding.

@GBrown_31

I had the same problem with the A1 mini print profile

@FilamentAddict

Another vote for "too tight" with the A1 Mini.

Awesome model. Thanks! The more you turn it, the more it loosens up, then it becomes even more fun. I recommend not pushing the cap down all the way. If you do, try to back it off just a bit. About .5mm gap is perfect

@pyog3d

correct, the cap should not be push all the way down (should not touch the ribs) . I will change the model it to prevent such thing. Thank you!

I'll definitely be printing more. Thank you

I figured the number sequences. The top number is the group it belongs to and the bottom number is the piece in sequence order. The groups are Group 0 (1-9) Group 1 (0-9) Group 2 (0-9) Group 3 (0-4). You will start in reverse with the piece numbers and notch face down. I don’t know if it matters if you start with Group 0 or Group 3? I’ll let the designer clarify that in the comments. I did it both ways and it really didn’t look any different to me. Hopefully this helps putting the spinner together. 0-1 0-2 0-3 0-4 0-5 0-6 0-7 0-8 0-9 1-0 1-1 1-2 1-3 1-4 1-5 1-6 1-7 1-8 1-9 2-0 2-1 2-2 2-3 2-4 2-5 2-6 2-7 2-8 2-9 3-0 3-1 3-2 3-3 3-4

@pyog3d

generally the numbering is 1-34, but to be able to read it, I needed to split it in two. it does not matter if you start from 1 and go up, or from 34 and go down, you will end up with the same shape.

It printed very well! Thank you for sharing.

@pyog3d

I'm glad you like it, but you assembled it upside-down. The notch should be on the bottom, and every following one as well. In your current configuration it shouldn't even work.

@EMNewb

Replying to @pyog3d :

Doh on my part! Thank you for pointing that out. It still works in that configuration.

Unfortunately, one of the bed's elements came loose. Also, it doesn't yet work for me as shown in the GIF, as the elements sometimes adhere too tightly and don't move. Perhaps it will improve after some time with manual adjustment. Printed on a Smooth Plate with PLA

@pyog3d

Hi. Thank you for your comment. While assembly, you should leave the space between the last element and the cap to let it rotate freely. About 5mm is enough. You can try to adjust it after the assembly

@Dragon3k

Replying to @pyog3d :

Thank you for your feedback and especially for the fantastic design I have increased the spacing again However, my problem is likely that the individual layers are partly too close together or were not printed completely straight, causing them to become entangled

@pyog3d

Replying to @Dragon3k :

I see. If the parts are warped, the toy may not functioning as intended. Most likely it's caused by poor bed adhesion. You might try to clean your bed with IPA, or maybe try to print in a few, smaller batches.

The first time we printed this it turned out pretty badly. It must have been because we used glass PLA! Just printed with regular PLA-rainbow color and it printed beautifully so we updated our rating to 5 stars.

The profile uploader has replied

@pyog3d

Oh common! How can parts be missing? Others have all the parts....

@user_948322224

Replying to @pyog3d :

Sorry-we are still pretty new to this. We have a Bambu A1 and used PLA filament. Should we have used something different? The fidget pieces that spin -some of those only printed the 1/2 thickness or only one end printed.The long piece that everything goes on was bent for some reason. There was no cap printed to keep it all together. Printer showed 100% completion. Nobody touched it as it was printing so I don’t know what happened.

@plane_maker2234

Replying to @user_948322224 :

You may have bent the rod if you diddnt let the build plate fully cool. the rod was likley still soft and bent when you flexed the pei plate

This thing is so cool. As a print, it's relatively straightforward- in just about 3 hours you can have a really interesting and satisfying desk toy/fidget. Bonus points if you do a ted talk with your kids about the efficient transfer of momentum. Looks amazing in dual color silk. Make sure your bed is clean because there's a lot of parts and the first layers are intricate. Pay attention to the assembly instructions- don't put the cap on too far or it won't work at all!

@user_24521562

what filament is that

@OSHABrast

we have tried to print this multiple times in a pla basic material and we are getting g some really weird stuff going on. not sure why it will not print correctly. we have tried slowing it down and reducing the pieces on a plate.

@CharlieChuckles

same prob here
