The Newton's Cradle is a free printable 3D model from MyMiniFactory by Corey Schwenke. I broke up my original model into to seperate parts, the base and the arms.  This wasn't because of model functionality, but to simply cut down on the number of supports and make. You can download the STL file from the original listing below and print it at home.

About this model

I broke up my original model into to seperate parts, the base and the arms.  This wasn't because of model functionality, but to simply cut down on the number of supports and make the model much cleaner.  As far as the functionality of the Newton's Cradle, it works...(for 3 to 4 hits).   The balls simply don't have enough weight to continue to swing.  Its looks cool on your desk though.
