Description

A very entertaining toy based on a hyperboloid.

Everything is 3D printed except the nylon thread used to hold the beads.
 

Parts list:
- 1 x rod
- 2 x disks
- 2 x caps
- 22 x beads
- 1 x base
 

You can get pretty creative with the bead colors. I also considered exposing the infill on the disks for an unique look.

Future ideas:
- knurled caps
- different bead shapes

3D printing settings

No special settings are needed.
I printed mine in PLA, on an Ender 3, with a 0.6 mm nozzle (0.4 should be fine as well), 0.2 mm layer height and 20% infill.

The beads are a lot easier to print with a brim.
