I wanted to take 3D Printy amazing Bobbleheads to a Zen dimension with this model (my wife is a yoga teacher so it is great to have her all the time on my MK3S+ :)
 

This has a few challenges as it is an asymmetrical model with a low, not centered gravity center so not ideal for a bobblehead model.
I had to do a lot of tweaks, playing a lot of with the infill front and back and redesigning a smaller spring with the right strength to fit into the model but after a lot of trials and errors the outcome is great and very fun to watch!

PRINTING 

  • 3MF files attached
  • the BobbleZen statue includes all the elements (negative model, modifiers, etc.)
  • i added the gcode for the statue if easier
  • you could use support if you want a very clean model for the inside holes but it also works without support
  • PLA is working fine of courses for all pieces

 

ASSEMBLY

  • please refer to 3D Printy bobbleheads for more explanations but it pretty straight forward
  • attached the spring to the base and then push it into the statue. Be careful of the orientation as the sprint attachment inside the statue which has a direction (parallel to the shoulders)
  • you could add glue if needed but it is already very tight (and even might require some sanding for the base depending of your printer).
  • there is a 6x3 magnet under the base to attach the statue to the printerhead (but also a washing machine, dryers, etc.).
