Description
This Telescoping Star is the perfect fidget toy or unique Christmas ornament. Designed with concentric 5-point star layers, the model expands from a flat, coaster-like object into a 3D conical star structure.
The precise tolerances allow the layers to slide effortlessly past one another, creating a mesmerizing kinetic motion. Hold it by the outer rim and push the centre to telescope it out, or shake it to hear that satisfying "clack" as the layers settle.
Key Features:
Print-in-Place: No assembly required. The mechanism works right off the build plate.
Support-Free: Designed to be printed flat without any support structures.
Tactile Experience: Smooth, sliding layers make for a great fidget toy.
Versatile: Use it as a desk toy, a fidget, or add a loop of string to the top point to create a stunning 3D tree topper or ornament.
