Description
The Ripple Orb
The Ripple Orb is a palm-sized sensory toy designed for tactile exploration. It features two distinct textures to keep hands busy and minds calm.
The Outer Spiral: Deep, curved ridges on the outside provide a satisfying grip and a path for fingers to follow.
The Inner Ripple: The bottom features a "raindrop" pattern—perfect for soothing fingertip tracing or using as a texture stamp in play-dough.
Simple & Clean: An organic shape that is easy to hold, easy to wash, and easy to print.
This model is a perfect "filament eater" for those half-empty spools. I played around with swapping leftover filaments at different layer heights, which is a great way to make the final print look bright and colorful instead of just using a single color.
