About this model
This is a fun little experiment relating to compliant mechanisms (though this one does rely on one moving part: the marble). If you've seen my Cool Prints video about it, you know this doesn't function 100% as intended, but it's still pretty cool! Print at about 4 shells, 35% infill. I used PLA, though other filaments may have better results. Add one 9/16" (14mm) marble as the pivot point.
