Orbiting Balls on a String (Astrojax)

This model is restricted by licensing terms. 

A fun toy consisting of three balls on a string. You hold it by one ball and bounce the other two up and down. If you get the right rythm the two hanging balls will start to orbit each other.

Takes very little skill to get started. With practice you can do some really cool tricks.

⚒️You will require:

  • ~90cm of Nylon Fishing line or some other strong but thin and flexible string
  • A printer capable of printing TPU: The sleeve is designed to be flexible and you wont be able to get it on if it is made from a solid material

Each Ball consists of three parts: The bottom half of the ball, the screw-on top of the ball and a TPU Sleeve that goes between the two halves.

Also needed and included are two stoppers that go onto each end of your string so the balls dont fall of the string. I also recommend TPU for this so it doesn't clack around so much.

Fusion and Step files included!

I want to try these… I go by Mycwyse, I was a former Astrojax pro and have been wanting promote the maker space and help a good version of this BOB (bored out ball) idea. I would gladly show you how I teach them and what is really possible with this simple toy design. Curious?
