How to design moving parts

[curious aardvark]

It is nice.

But not a pretty artistic model, so no money in it :-(
lol

In fact that one in the pic the left arm didn't print that well - but still locked in place without any problems.

Beauty is it gives you a good width to wind stiff filaments round.
Once wound you leave it for a few days to get used to the bend and viola.

The clever bit is getting the top rim to print without supports.

You got to love openscad :-)

Doesn't have to be artistic. The functional prototype is what's worth money.
