Description
I really like the 3DWorkbench Grenade prop or fidget toy or whatever you may call it.
I brought it to work and placed it on my desk, only to have one of my coworkers accidentally break it trying to turn the mode switch on the bottom. It isn't moveable in the original model.
This inspired me to try and improve the design, I thought how about making the bottom connect like a LEGO connector peg, which I remembered another fidget toy I had recently printed, was doing, and I also realized that the clicky macaron spinner was just about the size I needed. It would give me the ability to turn the mode switch, and add a nice clicky feel.
And so I decided to merge the two models using Microsoft 3D Builder
| Merges / Changes Made | |
|---|---|
| 3dworkbench Grenade | Clicky Macaron Spinner |
| MAIN CYLINDER (1).stl | CaseM_v1.1.stl Wheel_stiff.stl Really wanted to keep the ability to select the normal or stiff wheel, but in my printing I couldn't anchor it well enough, so I ended up just merging it into the model |
| MAIN CYLINDER.stl | CaseM_v1.1.stl Wheel_stiff.stl Really wanted to keep the ability to select the normal or stiff wheel, but in my printing I couldn't anchor it well enough, so I ended up just merging it into the model |
| SWITCH.stl Added 2 holes for dowels to allow spring to freely spin | CaseF_v1.1.stl After printing: You will need to manually clip the center locking tab |
| COVER.stl Added 2 holes for dowels to allow spring to freely spin | CaseF_v1.1.stl After printing: You will need to manually clip the center locking tab in the center of the part |
| Spring.stl x 2 After printing: You will need to manually trim the two center locking nubs in the center of the part |
