Hello! Thank you for checking out this 3D Printed Push Pin Toy!
#Basic Info
This is a challenging print, and requires quite a bit of patience, PLA filament, and some test prints. But the result is a fun toy that you can display in your collection.
It requires no supports or screws or any other hardware, just a 3D printer and lots of time!
It consists of 3 basic parts:
- Male bed
- Female bed
- Hexagon shaped push pins (several hundred)
The male and female beds snap together by push-fit pegs, and then the hex pins can be inserted, either one-by-one (not recommended) or via the Insertion Rack method, which lets you insert multiple pins at once (highly recommended).
#Design
There are several important design features for this toy, and you must be careful to understand them.
###Hex Pin Design
