Ra Ra Ra for Rocket!
Description
My Two-Year-Old Loves Disney'S Little Einsteins, So Naturally I Went Looking For Toys. Apparently Nobody Makes Little Einsteins Toys Any More, And The Used Ones Go For Ridiculous Prices On Ebay And Amazon. So What'S A Father With A 3D Printer To Do? Make One, Of Course! Print In Ninjaflex For A Durable Toy That Works Well For Bath Time Too. For The Print In The Photo, I Split The Part In Two Halves And Used A Hot Knife To Remove Support Material On The Fins And Antenna. Heat A Thin Metal Spatula Over A Candle And Slide It Between The Two Halves To Fuse Them Together. Glue Doesn'T Work Very Well On Ninjaflex. I Printed Mine Half-Size In White And Colored With Permanent Markers... The Red Came Out Pink, But My Kiddo Still Loves It. I'D Recommend Using Red Filament As A Base Instead If You Want It To Look Like Rocket From The Cartoon. *Update: I Reprinted At 3/4 Scale In Semiflex, And That Works As Well As Ninjaflex. An Adjustable-Temperature Hot Knife Was Used To Flow And Reshape The Antenna And Get The Ball On Top To Look Right.
