Description
NEW VERSION: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7300856
N.B. I modified the parts because the previous ones had some inconsistencies in the measurements. I haven’t been able to test them in print yet, but according to the simulation it should be correct.
This is a 3D printable balancing and stacking game designed to test precision, patience, and fine motor skills.
The game consists of multiple stackable pieces that must be carefully placed on top of each other without causing the structure to collapse.
All parts are optimized for 3D printing without supports, making this project easy to print, assemble, and enjoy right out of the printer.
Perfect for kids, adults, families, classrooms, and tabletop game lovers, this balancing game combines fun, challenge, and educational value in a compact and durable design.
It's an existing game, I just redesigned it.
