Happy Bobble Head – Hoptimist Inspired Desk Figure

This smiling bobble head is a decorative desk figure inspired by the iconic design style of the Hoptimist.

I recreated the head as a clean and simple 3D model with slightly different proportions. The result is a fun and minimalistic decorative piece that prints easily and looks great on any desk or shelf.

The model is designed for two-color printing. I printed the head in red and the eyes in black using AMS.

The model prints without supports and works well with standard settings.
