A bird that balances on the point of its stand, or on your fingertip, and wobbles back level when you push it. The trick: the wings sweep forward so the balance point is right under the head, and the pointed socket sits high inside the head while the wings lie low, so the weight hangs below the tip.
DETAILS
• 198 mm wingspan, stand 110 mm tall on a 70 mm base.
• The wing sweep is worked out from the model so the centre of mass sits under the socket, well below the tip. Scaling the span keeps it balanced.
• Prints with no supports: the bird prints flat (the socket underneath is a 45-degree cone), the stand upright. Bambu Studio: 1 h 24, 31 g.
• Print the bird with the same walls and infill everywhere so it balances level.
