Design Concept

The design of this metallic ball serpentine is artistic and fluid, capturing the essence of movement in a still object. Its winding loops offer a satisfying path for a 16 mm metal ball to meander through, making it both aesthetically pleasing and interactive.

Purpose

This model serves as both a decorative piece and a playful kinetic sculpture. It's perfect for showcasing small metal balls, providing an engaging visual display for desks, shelves, or classrooms.

Printing Suggestions

• Material: PLA or PETG for a sturdy build.
• Infill: 15-20% for a balance of strength and weight.
• Supports: Necessary to maintain the integrity of the curved structures.
• Layer Height: 0.2 mm for smooth curves.
• Consider printing with a brim to prevent warping during print.

Assembly Instructions

Once printed, ensure that any residual support material is cleaned off. A metal ball of 16 mm diameter can be introduced directly onto any of the loops to traverse the path.
