Information

      Combining precise laser engineering with classic mechanical toy design, this project creates the flipping gymnast toy.

Design & Engraving: Laser cut and detailed using the xTool F1 laser engraver.

Mechanism: Mounted onto dual control sticks.

Functionality: By applying manual pressure to the lower handles, the top mechanism twists and releases, driving the articulated gymnast through dynamic somersaults and acrobatic flips.
