Description

This is my rendition of the classic Whirling Wilmer balancing Tin Man toy first sold back in the 1930's by Sherwood Toys.

 

The Tin Man prints on his side with supports (as set up in the 3MF file), but they are fairly easy to remove. After printing, press the weights onto the ends of the drooping dumbbell bar and then slide the bar into the Tin Man's mitts. Note that you can tweak the balance by bending the dumbbell bar up or down on one side or the other, and also front to back, which will cause the man to stand up straight.
