Minion - Magnetic Fidget

Minion Fidget

Tip its head and it bounces up again.
This motion comes by repelling magnets between the body and pants.

To have a handy toy, you can assemble it with two single feet.
Or choose the base plate to have an always ready to tip desktop toy.

Also you have a variety of heads to make different hairstyles.
Just put some filament parts in the top holes of the head or choose the bald Option.
You could even make some crazy haircut with filament and a hair dryer.

Settings & Assembly

I printed all parts in grey and painted them afterwards. I didn't have all the colors so this was the easiest way.
Best results are probably by printing all parts using the correctly colored filament.

For settings I chose 0.1 mm layers to have a smooth surface.
Supports are only needed for printing the pants and maybe details of the body.

You'll need 8 magnets. And keep in mind to put them in the body and pants so they will repell one another.
The holes are made for cylindrical magnets with 6 mm diameter and 3 mm height.

After printing, glue together what need to stick together. For example hands and arms as well as the google to the head.
The body needs to be pushed in the pants before sticking the arms to it, but after you put the magnets in!
Just as you see in the pictures and CAD views.

Depending on clearance of your printer and how you would like it, you can stick the arms unglued and movable in the body.

Enjoy printing and playing!😊
