Purpose: remix and extend
The octoswitch is a building block with fun switching action. It scales well from tiny (10 x 16 x 8 mm) to medium (20 x 32 x 8 mm) and likely beyond. Please remix this to create fun toys or useful gadgets. Or print as-is at risk of finding yourself mindlessly snapping it back and forth.
Print recommendations
Print with sufficient resolution to achieve switching action. For the tiny size:
- 0.2 mm layer height with a 0.4 mm nozzle is plenty;
- 0.3 mm layer height will be too loose.
For the larger models, you might be able to be more sloppy.
Adhesion can be an issue for the base models, so add a brim. Once you've worked into into a creative masterpiece, you will probably have enough surface contact to skip the brim.
OctoBot: An example remix
OctoBot is an example build based on the tiny size. Please try to make toys that are happier than OctoBot!
- Good toy for kids.
- Good for fidgeting.
- Quick print (15 minutes for me).
Learning Activity for Kids
Recommended for 9 yrs old and up. Younger ages for the brave.
- Show a kid the OctoBot and the base models. Best to print one.
- Challenge them to make up their own toy incorporating a base model.
- Have them sketch ideas onto a piece of paper based on OctoBot.
- Import a base model into Tinkercad and help them go to work.
- Export their completed work as an .STL, slice, and print, and print, and print again …
