Printing Toys

There are thousands of toys and other novelties on Thingiverse. I'm not immune to the attraction of such things either.

I've printed a Gearicon - an odd shaped not-quite-sphere that rolls in an odd fashion. I've also printed the 'Stick Man' but had to downsize him to 88% to make him fit on the bed of the Mini Delta. He came out fine but now the seeds of a bigger build surface are planted ...

I've printed a 'Wobbler' that I saw on Maker's Muse but again had to shrink it to fit - this time 50%.

The 'Nautilus Gears' are one of my most loved toys. People are amazed to see how it works. I wasn't able to get it all on the bed at once so I printed the gears and connecting bars separately. I took that opportunity to print them in different colors - red and white.
