Description
I have a vintage toy made from steel that I wanted to design a printable model of. No supports are necessary. The washers press fit onto the pins and they need a drop of glue to make them permanent. The spring handle attaches with 1.75mm filament. I secure these by simple making them 1mm longer than necessary then squashing 0.5mm with pliers on each side. Alternatively, a single drop of glue on one end is enough to secure them.
I've included a blank stem so you can remix the birds to your delight. Miners, railroad handcar, lumberjacks with a saw - I've seen lots of versions of this toy online.
I hope you enjoy it, and please post your makes and remixes here!
