Fisher Price Play Gym Replacement Ring

THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A PERMANENT SOLUTION. THIS IS AN INTERIM FIX. DO NOT LET A CHILD USE THIS WITHOUT SUPERVISION.

Fisher Price still uses similar rings to these, they occasionally even recycle this specific design. You can get replacement parts, easy as pie. Go online, ask in a toy store, you will find a replacement part and should always use that instead of this. The colors might not match, the design might not match exactly, but your child literally will not care. Always use products that have been tested for infant safety over the design that some rando on the internet decided to put out for free. 

Are you a parent to an infant who has decided they will only sleep if the bedtime ritual includes twenty minutes of tuckering oneself out on a Fisher Price Playmat? Would like to get your child to sleep in the next four to seven working days? Compromise on the “no sleep” offer you received from whatever nearby store can order in replacement parts and print one of these. You will have to monitor your tiny person like they're gonna catch fire while it's in use, but you might get up to four blissful hours of sleep at a time.

First two pictures are my test print in PLA, third print is my dad's first attempt trying to print it in PETG, fourth pic is a comparison of the broken original next to the PETG print, fifth is the broken original.

Print at high infill, on the tiniest layer height you can manage, in a material that is safe to be licked. This thing should, ideally, not land in anyone's mouth, but we all know infants can turn on looney tunes physics if their parents look away for two seconds. I strongly recommend the use of organic supports if you need any. Choose the flat, no groove version if you don't want to mess with supports of any kind. 

The grooved versions will be sharp in the groove. They will be very annoying to remove the supports of in any material, if the supports come out at all. I do not recommend printing those unless they're intended for decorative use, or if all users are adults who can be trusted around medium sharp edges. (They are also really nice to hang stuff from a bag with.)

This model happened after my sister had a ring on a Fisher-Price play mat that had been in the family for 30 years snap. The closest modern equivalent would be the Fisher-Price Activity City Gym To Jumbo Play Mat With Music And Lights. So, if anyone was wondering how sturdy these things are: six to seven infants and three decades' worth of play before one part broke. A replacement part was ordered--with a delivery time estimated at 4-7 working days. This was the shortest possible delivery time offered. And, of course, Nephew had decided no one would sleep until he regained access to his toy--with all the dangling plushies present. My brother and dad have a printer near her house, but couldn't figure out how to model this. I can work Tinkercad if forced to, but live very far away. Dad gave measurements, and I did my best with basic shapes. My version is a bit stumpier than the 90s original, but it does what it needs to (i.e. dangle one 50-70g plushie per ring within bapping distance of a 6-month-old).
