Star Pin Art Toy – With Optional Raised Eyes (Free 3D Printable STL)

This model is inspired by the classic pin art toys where hundreds of small pins slide back and forth to capture shapes. Just like the nostalgic desk toy where you press your hand and the pins recreate the shape on the other side, this star-shaped version lets the pins move up and down to create fun patterns and impressions.

The star frame holds multiple sliding pins that can be pressed to form shapes, textures, or simple patterns, making it a satisfying tactile toy and a fun decorative piece.

The model also includes a “With Eyes” version that adds personality to the star. In this version, the eyes protrude 0.5 mm above the surface, allowing you to paint them easily and cleanly without wasting filament on several layers.

The design is simple to print and assemble, and it works great as a small desk toy or playful decoration.
