Millipede

One of the most important things of the growth of children is the game. The game is the gym of the imagination. Is therefore certainly useful to give toys to the children that stimulate their imagination. This toy is difficult to produce with normal molding techniques because it has many hidden faces not extractable from a mold. I do not have a 3D printer and I am not proficient in the technique, for example, do not know how you get mixing colors printed on two objects at the same time do not know the coupling tolerances of the moving parts, partly because much depends on the printer features. So moving parts of this toy are coupled with zero tolerance, except paws that can swing freely think with nice effect. The rings blacks and the green body should be mounted with a light fitting, pleasant that you can print in two colors at once. The areas of the body are coupled with a part spherical shape which allows an oscillation of 10 ° in any direction. The mounting of the sectors is done by inserting them through a slot and turning 90 °. The NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS so that you can achieve with this object is to remember to play with their children. The inspiration came to me looking at the very beautiful photographs by Tim Flach http://timflach.com/ among which there are also millipedes.
