【Mechanical Aesthetics】Flexible Balance Toy

The original designer of this work is Ueoka, who designed it in the Yamanaka Laboratory at the University of Tokyo.

This model is a derivative model I made based on Ueoka's design. Combined with the characteristics of household FDM 3D printers, it is easy to print, aiming to enable more ordinary 3D printing enthusiasts to experience this excellent design concept. Thanks to Ueoka for agreeing to allow this model to continue to be shared for free on Makerworld.

Printing Suggestions:
I've designed it as a print in place model with hinges, which will have certain requirements for the calibration of the printer and the filaments. To prevent the hinges from moving unsmoothly or even getting stuck at the connection points, please make sure to use dry filaments. It is recommended to use PLA for printing, while PETG is not recommended.
Suggestions for A1-mini Users:
Due to size limitations, the placement of the model on the build plate is close to the size limit of the Mini build plate. It's possible that the edges of the build plate, which are not frequently used, are prone to retaining fingerprints or oil stains. Please thoroughly clean the build plate to prevent warping at the edges and consequent printing failures.
