This is a look a like of the Rotating Rings Toy made by RarelyEvil February 16, 2014,
i made this one using only the slicer as a demonstration how mighty the Prusaslicer and most of his forks are today.
Yah, this toy is made without CAD and i show you step by step how that is done.
Steps to make the famous rotary ring toy
without CAD software using your slicer only.
Step 1 to 4 are each 6 steps but always the same.
XYZ Number?
The first number is the diameter of the sphere,
the second and third are the X and Y coordinates you have to set
this is important to ensure that all parts are placed proper.
The last number i the Z distance.
Example:
XYZ 53 100 100 26.5
This is add sphere with 53 mm diameter and set X and Y to 100
Z did not need to set it has the right value.
XYZ 47 100 100 26.5
This is add negative volumne sphere with 47 mm diameter
and set X and Y to 100 and Z to 26.5
Start a new project in your slicer
layer height as low as you can go
The lower the smoother.
Will work nice from 0.4 down to 0.1 or less.
No matter if arachne or classic.
Use align for the seam, don't use random, nearest or back.
Concentric for top and bottom layer
Choose if you like the fidget lightweight or heavy!
Many people like the sensation of the heavy version.
light version: 23 g
3 top/bottom layers
2 Perimeters
rectilinear infill 15% for the bullseye only
heavy version: 37 g
3 perimeters
concentric infill 100%
If interested you may have a look into the freecad version i made a while ago:
