Description
This 3D-printed model is a reinterpretation of the classic swinging bird toy – designed here in the shape of a bat.
It consists of separate parts: the wings, the body, a suspension bar for hanging, and a pull disc. When the disc is pulled, the wings flap up and down, creating a fun and eye-catching motion.This 3D-printed model is a reinterpretation of the classic swinging bird toy – designed here in the shape of a bat.
It consists of separate parts: the wings, the body, a suspension bar for hanging, and a pull disc. When the disc is pulled, the wings flap up and down, creating a fun and eye-catching motion.
It is best to print all parts first and then assemble them.
Connect the two wings to the body with two strings. Do not pull them too tight so that the wings can still move.
Cut off the excess string.
Pull a string through the Pull disc.
Connect that string to the bat body.
Attach two strings of equal length to the hanging rod in a loop. Use the two outer holes.
Hang the hanging rod from a string in the middle hole at the location of your choice.
Hang the hanging rod from a string in the middle eyelet at a location of your choice. Hang the bat in the finished loops. Use the recesses in the wings to secure the bat in the loops.
Done :) Have fun!
