D4E1 Woesh - Juggling Rings

We redesigned a Woesh tool that can be made in fab labs.

The new rings give the possibility to be stacked on top of each other and also play in 3 levels on top of each other. But as a bonus, we have made sure that you can form a course with the rings according to your own wishes. And by means of the printed X-connection you can roll the ball over all 3 rings.

Machines needed:

• CNC router
• 3D printer

Materials needed:

• Multiplex wood 27mm thick
• 3D-filament (PLA), color = own choice

Files needed:

• STL files of the rings
• STL files of the X-connection

1. Download the attached step files of the rings.
2. Program them according to the right CNC router you have.

(keep in mind that you must flip the wood because the rings must be milled on 2 sides)

1. Download the STL files of the X-connection.
2. Put them in your slicer to make them print ready.

To begin machining the step files on the CNC router, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the file: Program the stl files to a CNC file so it's compatible with your router.
2. Prepare the Workpiece: Place the wooden plate onto the router bed, ensuring it is positioned correctly.
3. Secure the Workpiece: Use clamps or other securing methods to firmly hold the wooden plate in place. This prevents any movement during machining, ensuring precise cuts.
4. Initiate the Program: Start the programmed sequence on the CNC router to commence the machining process. Double-check all settings and parameters to ensure accuracy.
5. Flip and Continue: Once the first side is complete, carefully flip the wooden plate and continue the machining process on the opposite side. Ensure proper alignment to maintain consistency.
6. Completion and Cleanup: Once both sides are machined, gather all the finished pieces and thoroughly clean the CNC machine to remove any wood debris or residue. This helps maintain the machine's performance and longevity.
7. Finishing Touches: To achieve a polished finish, lightly sand all the machined rings. Begin with an 80-grit sandpaper to remove any rough fibers or imperfections, then progress to a finer grit such as 120 or even 440 for an exceptionally smooth surface. This final step ensures that the rings are not only accurately machined but also have a professional finish.

By following these steps meticulously, you'll produce high-quality machined parts while maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the CNC router.

Once the STL files are downloaded you can put them in your slicer.

(This can be done while the rings are being milled)

1. Set the layer height to ca. 0.16mm
2. Select PLA as a material
3. Orient the parts as shown in the pictures
4. Final step = printing
5. Don't forget to print the circle indications, these come on the bottom of the pieces and show in which circle which printed piece fits

After opening the Woesh Bag...

I want a parcour!

1. Take out the circles in following order: big circle, medium circle, small circle
2. Lay them in whatever way you want.
3. Take out the 3D prints and lay them in the circles
4. Go play!

I want a piramid!

1. Take out the circles in following order: big circle, medium circle, small circle
2. Stack them on each other. Big circle bottom, then medium and end up with small circle on top. (easy to do because of the cutout)
3. Go play!
